Well, I got home last night and in a fit of urgency I began scanning the
\njob postings on Idealist.org in hopes that I could begin working on
\ngetting a job. Well the process used to be like this:
\n1) Find the job post, bookmark it, begin formulating cover letter and
\nthen adapt the resume to fill the requirements listed for the job.
\n2) Send my adapted information to Mary where she will read over comment
\nand then send it back.
\n3) I would finally review her edits and send the information to the
\nhuman resources department.<\/p>\n
This would take two days total on a “Quick” run. Recently it took me so
\nlong to edit a job application that the post vanished before I could
\nsend my information and apply. Depressing.<\/p>\n
So last night I revised Mary and caution out of the equation. On a whim
\nI viewed five job opportunities and crafted a cover letter that was far
\nfrom perfect, but I assumed would be enough to give me a chance for each
\njob opportunity. I sent the resume\/cal off and didn’t even mark it down
\nanywhere. Yes, it was a daunting prospect, but I did it. I’ve already
\nreceived a response from one application. I have an interview Monday.
\nI’m excited as hell.<\/p>\n
I think it is substantially more money per hour then my current salary,
\nwhich would be nice. It is also in New York, which might not be so
\nnice. Oh well. We will see how it works out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
