Another noodle!
I threw another noodle at the wall (or maybe at the wind, I’m not entirely sure). That’s right friends, I applied for another job. Yesterday, I put in two applications (which I’ve been putting off for weeks because to those of us high-anxiety little animals, applying for jobs is terrifying). But my confidence soared when I managed to make my resume so much better yesterday and then I wrote two brief cover letters (there’s a level of hell where you have to write nothing but cover letters, pretty sure that was in Dante’s Inferno, right? Maybe next to Cerberus or something?).
Today, I applied for a job that I could totally do, I have tangential experience, it’s in the same neighborhood as the two I applied for yesterday. I was lazy today and didn’t alter my beautiful resume to conform to the job title like a good little monkey. I was a bad little monkey! But I wrote a ridiculously confident cover letter and sent it all in.
You have to ask for things if you want them, like jobs. So I’ve asked 3 companies to pay me in money for services. They all pay far, far more than the current gig. And the best part is, I actually love my job, so if they all say, “nah,” it’s OK! Woo.
