you know you've filled out too many applications when....

This morning, I've been applying to jobs like a... job... applying... machine. Or something. >_> Typing out this many cheery cover-letter type emails has made my brains leak out my ears, sorry.

And so, when I got to a "upload your profile" thingy that required me to list all jobs for the last four years (ugh), I had this exchange with myself when I started filling in info for The Museum Job.

Website: Please list skills used in this position: ___________
Me: "Unfailing false cheer in the face of underpaid frustration, pain, boredom, and hordes of screaming small children?"

Seriously, there were days when I should've gotten a fecking academy award for my efforts at that place. Put that high on my list of requirements for my next job - No. Small. Children.

ugh, the job search. least fun ever. but eventually you get into a nice groove for those goddamn cover letters. (in case you didn't know, the trick is the re-write the job ad from your perspective. it really does make the bulk of it easier!)

Yeah, that's more or less the theory I've been going off of. Damned tedious, but kind of funny in a sick sort of way, trying to word everything just perfectly for what they seem to be looking for.
