Sorry. Just needed to get that off my chest.

I have 2 jobs to apply to and I am losing my mind over résumés and cover letters.

I. Hate. This. Stuff. Just in case I haven’t mentioned it.

And, no. I’m not particularly looking for any sympathy. I full well know it is the price we pay for …. Well, we pay it for something.

    It doesn’t really help to have a career services (aka, job hunter) helping you either, if that makes you feel any better about going it on your own. The stress is still there. :\

    By the way, are you applying for the Taxonomy Consultant position that showed up on Library Associates website? You ought to, if you’re looking in that direction; you’d be good at it.

    Hey, Jenn. I know. I kind of feel bad even saying anything because some people have it worse but, then, I don’t want to deny the legitimacy of how I feel either.

    No, I don’t think so, but I ought to go look. I’m not looking very widely at the moment. I’d really, really like to have my CAS finished before starting a job. But I was asked to apply for one and I’d be stupid not to apply to the other.
