At long last I have discovered why I have gone for so long without finding a permanent job. I have applied to literally hundreds of jobs in the past six months, and as a result I often recycle my cover letter. I alter the position, and a few key facts per the job I applied for. Today was no exception. I applied for a fabulous interior design job at a super gay interior design firm in the area. Should have been golden right? Um yah no. I sent out my personalized cover letter, and immediately received an email response saying that they could not make it past the first sentence of my cover letter, but I could have a second chance to reread and re-edit it to be sent back. At first I thought "what a bitch! there is nothing wrong with that letter I checked it twice!" Upon rereading the cover letter that stated while I had applied to an interior design position I had actually written that I wanted to apply for their Project Architect position in Columbus, OH. So much for their bitchy comment, apparently I'm just an idiot.
So there it is. It seems I haven't been getting call backs due to my lack of experience, but rather I often have been applying for the wrong positions. I will keep my avid readers posted, but I think this last application was a wash. It's not my fault though! I've applied to too many jobs! Can't someone just hire me to save me from this hell already?
