Am I the online who doesn't take Craigslist serious?
I mean, I take the missed connections serious, because they're the funniest thing ever. The posts are cute in the most sickening way ever. Am I right? You know I'm right.
What I'm really talking about is the job postings. We all need jobs, we all need to write a cover letter, resume, y'know the whole sha-bang. Here's where I fuck up almost all the time. I send in the shittiest cover letters and rarely ever fix/change/add on to my resume, and it's not because I'm lazy but because I feel like the job postings are fake. Before I check out the site I think all day about it, "I can't wait to send out my resume to every posting in the world" then when i get to a computer I think "eh, fuck it...it's probably fake anyway"
So someone please tell me, am I wrong? Can I really find a job through Craigslist? How can I ditch the bitch (and by that I mean avoid the scams)?
Maybe I've never been hired because I don't take it seriously, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. That's why I'm turning here. I will most likely get crickets. Someone better fucking answer me..please?
...please?
Update: I really want an internship with SPIN magazine, and I. Just realized what I THOUGHT was my resume was really my cover letter to them, and I sent it out to maybe 15 stores. Fuck. My. Life.

ReplyDeleteHey sasha, i always read your blog and since you want someone to reply... lol well i always take all my applications seriously even if its little jobs, my on campus job that i have now , i made my application and resume very specific and i extensively answered every question and i also took the interview really seriously and kept it very "professional" and i was 1 out of 10 hired out of 60ish applicants, also i have to start building up a better resume bc im probably going to try for an internship this summer good lucckkk (:
ReplyDeleteAw, Kim! You're so nice! Holy shit! I suck you don't but thanks for reading my blog!..but question, even if it's on Craigslist?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should probably be more professional instead of making jokes at interviews lol
Thanks!
