I don't have a lot to say, but I figure I should update, because that's what is supposed to be done with websites. First you create them, then you update them. I really enjoy the creating part, I'm still working on the updating thing ;)
So, I've been job hunting for a while now, not nearly as agressively as I should be, because, lets face it, I'm fairly comfortable in the job that I've got. It doesn't pay nearly enough, but I enjoy it there most of the time, and I know what I'm doing. Plus, I don't have to meet new people. I'm not really very good at meeting new people. But the time has come to move on.
Because I'm me, I have a complaint about this process. I have a complaint about everything, don't I? In case you don't know the answer to that question. It's...Yes, I do.
Resumes. I hate them. I don't know why, it shouldn't be incredibly difficult to list where you went to school, where you've worked before and what you did while you were there. It shouldn't, but for some reason I just loathe doing it.
The resume I've been using wasn't one that I wrote, and now that I think on it, was sort of not even geared towards the type of job I'd really like to have. Brilliant, aren't I? No, I suppose not. It's no wonder I'm still working at the bookstore.
I talked to someone on Thursday morning who pointed out to me what an idiot I've been. She didn't say it like that because obviously she's got some tact, but she basically ordered me to re-write my resume and send it to her again. Which I did on Friday morning. It took me about an hour to re-write one tiny little section. I didn't do it alone either, I had my mom helping over my shoulder.
Anyway, that's all I've got for today. I hate resumes. And don't even get me started on cover letters! I'm just hoping that I don't have to write a new one of those anytime soon. ;)
