Despite some wacky family drama here at the house this last week, I managed to apply for a job tonight!
My kind & brilliant father helped me with my resume, (thanks, Dad!) I could have done more work on the cover letter, but this particular job starts Monday, so I thought it best to submit it sooner rather than later.
Completing the resume was a really worthwhile task all on its own. I now have a complete resume with information about every job & credential in my background, as well as this specific resume for the job I applied for tonight. It was very helpful for me to assess my skills, experience, strengths and weaknesses. I can now look at the kind of work I'd really like to do and see where the holes are that I'd need to fill in order to get there.
If I hadn't set the goal of applying for jobs in January, I would have continued to put this off indefinitely. Now that I have a working resume, I'm looking forward to applying for four more jobs this month!
