"You have one page to sell yourself. Annnnnnnnnnd GO!"
Yeah, that's not a lot of pressure. Not. How can you combine your life, your skills, your talents and your charm into one nutshell of a letter? This is what is asked of all journalism students as they apply for jobs. Talk about why YOU are so great. Discuss everything that sets YOU apart from everyone else. There are a lot of expectations with that simple letter, and I feel like no matter what I write, I sound like an idiot. Or I can't transpose who I am into one page. I'm not a fan of this cover letter crap. If I were a hiring manager, I would look at just a resume and clips. A girl can dream, right?
P.S. The job market is still looming over my head, and usually in the form of a sad overcast cloud wave. No bright horizons ahead. I am really excited to move into the next stage of my life, provided I have a job.
So only 5 months and counting! Oh, gosh. Someone get me a paper bag so I can inhale deeply.
