migosh applying for jobs is so annoying!
Writing a cover letter and resume is a skill. Seriously!
Its been forty minutes and what I've written is crap. Even worse still, I'm a complete blank! Talk about a bad case of writers' block!!!
The thing about application letters, you have to advertise yourself and make yourself attractive to a potential employer, but how do you do it without sounding like your 'up' yourself and how do you disguise the lack of achievements/skills/experience that employers look for!!!
I'm looking at some of the sample cover letters from the UNSW Careers website (www.careers.unsw.edu.au). Geez, some of them are scary! All of them seem to be written by over-achievers. They're bloody good, no one they are successful applications.
Anyway I'm hoping this process of applying will help me in the future. In the mean time just have to be patient and wait for some inspiration to complete this application!
