Black As My Soul: Job Hunting Again

Job Hunting Again

I applied for a technical support position with a consulting company.

What is remarkable to me is the amount of anxiety produced by such an act. It was excruciating to get the energy to simply modify an existing cover letter.

I ended up with something that I think is more enthusiatic than I had previous to that, but damn.

Well here goes nothing.

I do have excellent people skills where tech suport is concerned, and I have always been well-liked. I just have to rein in my tendencies to web surf and I have to work on my timeliness. If I can successfully manage my low motivation and endless search for distractions, then I can do a good job.

But now I have to go to bed.

I'm going to be overly tired for work at the book store. I hope to God I'm not late again.

Thank you, Just Me. I got a reply back asking for an updated copy of my resume. Which is good... they bit. But FUCK I hate that recruiters need the same info sent over again. Ugh. But so yeah. I'll email off a copy of my resume in Word format. And they'll fuck it up by tranferring it to some idiotic in-house format. Is my contempt showing? I know I'm supposed to be happy this is happening, right?

And Miss Tawny, thank you! Will you answer me two things? 1) How did you find me? and 2) Do you blog?

Well some contempt is understandable... but yes, I think happy would be the more predominant emotion. :) Don't worry, it is a lot of work to find new work... hence the reason I keep putting it off. And being forced into it doesn't make it any easier.

Well the good news is that it looks like I'm going to be called for an interview. I had hoped and expected for this much at least.

The hourly rate will be the least I've made in IT for some time, but it will sure make things easier if I get *and keep* the position.

So this is all good.
