I hate applyng for jobs

[erilyn]

Am attempting to write cover letters for job applications for jobs that I am woefully unqualified for. Am not feeling creative today, so am finding it very hard to find anything to put in these letters that would justify these people considering hiring me. For at least one of them, I don't really want them to consider me, as while I'd love the job, I *couldn't* do it. Argh. Grrrr.

Anyone want to do something this weekend?

I've got a bridal shower Sat afternoon, for a neighbour I've known my whole life, but apart from that are footloose and plan-free. Well, except for relatives coming over on Sunday afternoon, but I'd prefer to miss that if possible.

I hate too...I applied for one with the EPA at the start of October which I thought I might have had a chance with

Argh, that's even worse. This is just the humiliation of sending off for jobs I know I'm not qualified for. When you feel you have a chance *and* you want it...much, much more pressure.

When I was writing my CV and covering letter for the EPA job I was so depressed, mum told me to be CJ

Hmmm, I'm willing to take a tumble into a pool if an old friend wants to show up and offer me a job. Though I suspect that isn't what your mum meant ;)

I can't swim well, but I'll take the plunge too ;)
And now I'm even more annoyed because it looks like I may have stuffed up my EPA application because I didn't address EEO/diversity/Occupational health and safety etc...not that I know how to address them in the first place.
But I may have taken myself out of the running at the start :(
