So I am not sure how many people know that applying for jobs REALLY stinks. You are trying to market yourself to an employer that you find interesting, to me, its like a higher class business prostitution deal.
It goes something like this :
Me: Hi Mr. Business man sir. I can do the following things... for a salary of this... I have a great personality, and the following personal strengths. Want me?
Him: Oh okay, well I really want someone with more experience, but I guess we could teach you how to do it.
Me: OKAY!!! THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!
See? High class prostitution. But I am okay with this. Maybe I need to put sequins and wigs on my portfolio to make is more attractive. Or look more cheap, people like cheap prostitutes.
Rambling on = me.
So, as of right now I have applied for a total of 15 jobs. UGH. Yes, it makes me want to puke. I really hate sending generic, Hi, I saw your job posting on.... website and am interested in this position. Here is my online portfolio and attached is my resume.. but what else can I say? Hi my name is jessica my favorite color is pink, I dont really know anything about your company, I just want to learn, whats your name? any animals? How do you feel about Cher?
I have a feeling I wouldnt be getting a return email if I said that.
Today I am having a phone meeting with my FIDM career advisor in hope of her going "holy crap! You are a fashion GENIUS!! We can get you in anywhere! Bob Mackie? DONE!" and me coming out with a job paying me 75,000 a year. Sounds like a plan to me? Right? I thought so.
We will see how this goes! Luck wishing needs to be happening PLEASE.
