Job hunting: whining

[alpharaposa]

I filled out a seven page (front and back) application today. Seven pages.

Why? *whimper*

Filling out the same information over and over again is getting to me. Worse, they want you to write it down on the application every stinking time, even if you have all of the information already arranged on a resume.

My throat was a little scratchy yesterday. Today it's a little more. I did get four applications turned in today - one to one store, and three perfectly identical ones to three different stores in a chain.

I hope I'm not coming down with something.

This is the part of job hunting that I also hate. Always the same things, repeated. Always having to do it again and again.

But I've found that doing it assembly-line, filling out one short section across several applications, and then going on to the next section on them - that helps. It makes it more of a simple repetition, instead of a chore requiring individual thought for each piece of paper.

Good effort !!!

Some wise saying by NHL star, Wayne Gretzkey, goes, "You miss 100% of the shots on goal that you DON'T take." Conversely, the way to succeed is to keep on trying.

Keep it up!!!
