So, I just sat through an hour of an exam for an Academic Assistant Admin at the local community college. I am always hesitant about Admin positions because I am not big on my workload being dependent on someone else. This particular exam was all budgeting all the time. Assuming that I pass the exam, they are scheduling interviews for Friday. In my heart of hearts, I am not interested in this position (especially not after all the budget and financing on that exam). This makes me sad. Also?! By some wild hair, if I did get the job, I would probably no longer qualify for the Faculty Internship at the same school. I really, really, really want that Internship.

Anywho, any of you guys good at writing cover letters? I suck balls at it. And not in the fun way. Just the bad, bad, bad, hair in your teeth way.

Now, off to find some lunch, and then I have to get to work. Dude, I'm going to be there til closing. argh!! I don't know HOW I'm going to deal with that.

Wha?!?!?

I really suck at it. Cover letter writing, I mean. I really have no idea what's supposed to go on them.

Bummer all around, honey. I hope you get the internship, or something that works as well.

Srsly?! So, I got an email for an interview on Friday for the position that I don't actually want. BUT! assuming I get it, it would double my income. It's in the middle of the morning, so that would mean more time off of work. I REALLY don't want that, but I have zero option for re-scheduling.


ARGH!!!!

I think you should do it. I mean, it sucks, but you should do it. I guess I feel like soul-killing jobs are okay if they give you enough $ to put you in a position where you feel comfortable trying to get out of them, you know?

But I wish you luck. (((hugs!)))

If you need a pair of eyes to go over a cover letter, PM me.

You are awesome! Thank you.

I totally went for it. And fucked up in the 11th hour on the performance exam, which really translates into another way of striking peeps off the list of potentials. I could have done that stupid thing half-sleep, but I was all wired up from the interview, which went really well, and wasn't thinking about it in the correct way and ... messed up. So, now I'm out. SUCKS. Mostly because once I decided to do it, I went for it all the way and I could see all the benefits of the path. Now ... back to square one. I feel like an idiot.
