Job Hunting

Why is it so hard to write about myself?  I am continually looking for job openings and then applying for them.  Many require an application in addition to a resume.  This seems like such a waste of time.

I find it hardest to write cover letters, where I can tout my accomplishments.  The problem is that I cannot remember a lot of them.  Having been at one library for fifteen years, much of my work seems to run together.  I need to tease our strands of accomplishments and present them to potential employers.

This is not fun.

  1. I agree that applications are a waste of time. Why can't you just send in a short cover letter and a resume. My cover letter is 1 1/2 pages, but I refuse to leave any of my skills out, just in case.

    I'm sure you'll find something soon. You have a lot of great skills.
