My first interview is today with ATSU (Brendon's school) at 4:30 PM. Finally, an interview!
Word on the street is someone else wants to interview me too. Hopefully I get a call today. And there's also another promising job opportunity.
The resume--filled with hours of critiquing, adding, deleting, finding the perfect words, getting people's advice--all of that can only get you so far. Then, there's the cover letter (as of late, I do not like cover letters). Picking at your brain for experiences, again finding the perfect words, critiquing, adding, deleting, more editing. No, I do not have anything better to do with my time. It just gets monotonous. After dozens of cover letters and revisions to my resume, I finally started networking! Ah, the power of networking! That, my friends, is how you get an interview. It's not through your perfect words on a resume or cover letter: it's through someone else's perfect words in an email or phone call.
But all that hard work is paying off. Hopefully, just hopefully, my cover letter days are over. So now I need to spend the day preparing for an interview. Gotta love the process of finding a new job!
It's been a little tough mentally, but honestly, I've enjoyed some relaxation time. I'm just starting to get the bug to be busy again. I'm going to need to find a hobby soon. Hobby...what's that?
