Looking for a new job is one of the most unpleasant experiences I have ever had. I find the whole process distasteful. How does one capture a potential employer’s attention in a one page cover letter? Does my transcript represent my abilities as a lawyer? Can I please make my resume two pages long? Am I good enough, am I smart enough…… Do people like me??
I had always hoped my potential employer would seek me out instead of the other way around.
Rejection letters are the worst. I just got a rejection letter from a job I didn’t even apply for. I felt like writing back to them to let them know that I didn’t want their stinkin’ job in the first place.
