Musings While Sending Out Job Applications

  • HOW can you require 15 years of experience for an entry-level job? Does entry-level mean something other than what I think it means? 
  • I should do a shot for every resume I send out. The last few cover letters will be HILARIOUS. 
  • 'I want this job because TEENAGERS ARE FLICKING BOTTLE CAPS AT ME WHILE I TRY TO SEND OUT RESUMES AND FRANKLY I CANNOT HANDLE THIS EMOTIONALLY.'
  • I could be an Avon sales associate. I've worked in sales before. I'm good at sales.
  • Holy shit I would be the worst Avon sales associate ever, I would totally smear black eyeliner all over my eyes and be like WHAT BRAINWASHED SUPER SOLDIER AM I hey where is everyone going.
  • I should be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Not a high-level agent, but you know, I could get coffee for the important people. Clean Captain America's shield. Schedule the Black Widow's hair appointments. Arrange for Clint Barton's therapy. 
  • A quick Google search proves that if S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiring they are not interested in electronic applications.
  • How many more years until Starfleet exists? I mean they gave Jim Kirk a spaceship, I just want employment.
  • DISCLAIMER: Kids, do not search for fictional jobs online. You will be disappointed by reality and become a bitter shell of the human condition.
  • I feel like I'm applying for a blind date. A terrible, terrible blind date I don't actually want to go on but need to for complicated personal reasons. Of course blind dates don't usually ask for salary requirements, in my experience.
  • I love when cover letters start to feel desperate. 'I'm smart, pleasant, and hard-working! I am the life of the party! I will fill your life with dizzying joy and also file all your paperwork!' If I met the person I'm pretending to be while writing this, I would punch them in their stupid perky face.
  • Sending out cover letters is the actual worst, and anyone who says otherwise is selling you a load of lies. Back away slowly.

Notes From The Abyss

So, this blog will be resurfacing soon. With new posts about life, the universe, and fandom.

Plus, I'm debating releasing my much-discussed novel on here in chapters.

This corner of the web has been dormant for too long. Time to dust it off and start anew.
