Yeah, the whole JOB SEARCH thing?

Can we be done with it?

Because I think I’m done with it.

If both my jobs,
put together,
were personified –
They’d be that Boyfriend that you know really isn’t right for you, but you stay with him because it’s just so damn comfortable.

The times I go into work hating my job is very few.  (Hard to believe, given a few posts ago, but it’s true, I swear.)  Work at the station is a cakewalk if you can handle the hours.  Work at the Buy is like working with a nice little gaggle of friends (not to mention a certain guy I’m gung-ho crazy for).  <– (that’s totally a phrase that would be in Cosmo.  Sorry guys. I can do better than that.)  But the word UNDER-UTILIZED cannot be emphasized enough, in both instances.  I’ve finally gotten over the OH-MY-GOD-I-HAVEN’T-FOUND-A-JOB-YET-AHHHH-ness.  I’ve exhaled.  But I just haven’t really found the right path to go, from here.
I’ve applied to a bunch of jobs, and people RESPONDED! For INTERVIEWS!  But when I inquire more about the position in question, I’ve weighed the options, and I always feel the need to hold out for something better.

My cover letter is beginning to sound so canned, I think I will revise it to say something like,

“To Whom It May Concern:

Hi.  I’m Jenn.  I know I’m fresh outta college, but listen…
I know some shit.

I’ve attached my resume for your review, but to save you time: Degree, scholarship, internship, yada yada blah blah.

I seek the truth.  I like my steak medium rare.  And chances are, whatever you say to me will trigger a song in my head.
If you’d like to pay me for writing in my blog, that’d be okay, too.

Sincerely,

Jenn.”
