I hate writting things that need to 'sell' me...

its overly self gratuitous and most the time so fucking corny its more cornier than a field of corn :rolleyes:

My personal statement for uni kicked ass.

My CV is good when its tailored to getting retail work.

But editing it to suit gaining temp admin work is annoying. I have to over emphasise my admin experience :rolleyes:

*sigh* i cant sell myself for shit. :(

There's a trick if you don't have quite the necessary experience that's needed for the job. You destract them from that fact by knocking them dead with the things you can do - and don't be afraid to go into detail and furnish with little stories and examples. Everyone likes a good story when they're going through dozens of boring ass, almost identical applications. Make yourself stand out :cool:

Oh swet, my cv is already 3 pages long with my arms length list of degree related experience and voluntary work :rolleyes:

the point is that none of that is relevent to getting temporary admin work.

i have several cv's depending on what i am using them to get. A retail based one, a voluntary based one, a psych experience based one, and now a admin based one.

*sighage*

I :kiss: you.
 
I am so screwed. I really hope my parents weren't serious when they said they'd throw me out.
 
Oh yeah, I'm toast. My sister finally pushed my mom past her breaking limit. Now I've got a histerical woman in the living room, screaming about how she want's to leave and how she's going insane and how she hates my sister's and I because we've shown no signs of getting anywhere with our lives. Then there's my dad, who is quite possibly the most insensitive person I have ever met! Here's my mom, completely histerical, and instead of thrying to console her, he blames her for everything! What an ass! Even I know that what he said was the stupidest thing he could have said. Yeah it was honest, but there's a time and a place for brutality like that, and this was not one of those times. Then I have my sister's who are just as insensitive as my dad. I couldn't believe the things my sister called my mom. Again, honest, but so uncalled for.

Usually I stay away from it all, keeping in my room and occupying myself, but all this conveniently happened during dinner, so I was stuck there and had to take all the abuse. Convenient how my sister's decided to stay in their rooms and avoid the situation they caused. Part of me wonder's whether that was the smart thing to do.

The worst part is I'm the one who's actually managed to accomplish something in my life. My sister's sure haven't. One is going to an expensive out of state school and doesn't have a clue about what she wants to do with her life, and the other completely dropped out and has made no effort to find a job.

At least I had a few job interviews while I was at home, and even got a temp position for a few days. Yeah, I earned a little over $200, but it's better than nothing. Plus I've practically paid my own way through school. Am I completely innocent? Not in the slightest. I've made mistakes, and big one's too. The difference is I'm trying. Now I'm facing my parents wrath right in the face, and all I did was graduate with my bachellors degree. Nobody stopped to think about how I'd feel if no one came to my college graduation. My sister's had to be forced to go, and even told me so yesterday.

I'm sick of nobody caring about anyone else in this family! This isn't MTV's Real World. We're not five stranger's picked to live in a house together because we'd probably hate each other. We're a goddamned family! Now we're all going to suffer because my sister couldn't keep her big mouth shut. She's been home for two days and she's already screwed everything up.

I guess, in a way it's a good thing I'm likely not going to be able to do the credential program this year. At least I'll have an excuse to move out. I may not have a home to go to, but I have a feeling it would be better than staying here.

I'm going to disagree here but I guess it's a personal choice. I prefer having my heart broken regularly to not feeling.
 
*huggles for Imp and Chantilly!*
And most of all strength for Trom! You are accomplishing something, most definately!

Not quite the same, but there's an old Irish proverb, "Long loneliness is preferable to bad company."
 
*hugs for Trom* You are most certainly not accomplishing nothing, you are trying to get yourself a career. It's not like you are sitting around and doing nothing, you graduated from college and that's more than I can say for myself. Hang in there hun, sending good vibes your way that things calm down.
