hi friends! it’s ryan/witnessarias/pretzelfeelings/etc just dropping in to let you know i’m ok! my summer was … long and complicated and fun and great and hard and heartbreaking and far too short.

i’m sure i’ll be consistently on here eventually, but for now i need to work through some things. in the meantime, i’ll be stopping in now and again to answer messages. i’m also on another blog. if we’re friends feel free to ask for the url if you’ll graciously accept a no. (if i’ve already followed you from it, you can take that as an invitation to follow back)

you can feel free to ask questions (you’ll have to use the on-dash feature bc of my current theme) but any v personal questions will be answered privately, so personal questions i get asked anon will be deleted

i think that’s it for now! ttfn <3

legally changing your name isn’t fun. you know what’s fun? illegally changing your name. break into the national records office. steal your birth certificate. write over your name with a sharpie, maybe a really annoyingly neon highlighter

hey hey!

so i know most of you tend to not reblog from me anyway, but i have gotten a lot of new followers (and made some new friends!) during this school year so

i am going to be in a kinda precarious situation this summer. i probably won't be online that much, and when i am most likely for only a few minutes at a time. if you want to keep up with me feel free to ask for my number as long as you'll gracefully accept my decision if i don't want to give it to you.

here are some things to keep in mind over the summer

do not reblog my selfies without asking first

do not reblog posts with any kind of personal information in them without asking first

i will most likely be posting some pictures of me with my siblings. do not reblog them.

if you text me, do not use the name ryan (if you plan on texting me you can ask what name to use)

if you text me, ask before referencing my sexuality/gender

there may be some other things that i think of later and i'll add them! i'll also be queueing this post so a lot of people see, and i might reblog it every time i do get online. basically the little things you can do to keep me safe would be really helpful! thanks <3

Dear internet,

Please give me all the advice you have on writing cover letters. Like, the closer you can get to literally just writing a cover letter for me, the better. Ok bye.

[emilysidhe]

This is how I did the one for my librarian position.  I hope it helps.

Dear Person Hiring for this Job,

I am writing to ask you to consider me for X position.  This is a paragraph about why I want to do X position in general.  It includes at least one personal detail and at least one job skill I consider a particular strength.  It argues that I am passionate about this career.  It is not long.

I have had the opportunity to gain experience in this job by - paragraph about my work or study experience.  It should go from most recent experience back.  Include some details about your responsibilities/achievements in your most recent or most important positions.  If you have mostly study experience, give more detail about what exactly you studied.  If you shadowed people, mention that.  If your work experience is largely unrelated, try to shoehorn some of it in (e.g. I gained experience working with people by).  You can supplement with relevant hobbies.  (But if you do have recent, relevant work experience, you should largely be detailing that.  Only embroider the other stuff if you need to flesh it out.)  This should be the longest paragraph.

I hope you will consider allowing me to do X thing at your company.  This is a few sentences about why I want to work at your company in particular and what I think I could bring.  Try to mention at least one detail from the company website, so they know you visited it.  This is a short paragraph that parallels the first one.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Person You Would Be a Fool Not to At Least Interview

oh my god thank you this is relevant to current interests

[magpieandwhale]

Two other points, to challenge what’s being said above a little:

1) Remember that the person reading this cover letter wants to know how you can contribute to the company. Not how excited you are about the position: it’s all about what they gain. Try framing the whole thing in that sense — “You would gain my X awesome skill that would help you Y with your mission.” “Here’s why I’m awesome and a great fit for making your company go better.”

2) At the end, ask for the interview. “I am available at PHONE NUMBER at your convenience. I look forward to speaking with you about this great opportunity soon.” Maybe even say you’ll be following up at a specific time and date. Ask for the job. People respond to that, and it’s a good way to fake confidence until you make it. Ask for the job.

Okay, three points. People reading cover letters get SO BORED going through them. Think about starting off with a story that relates to why you’re interested in the job, or that demonstrates a skill or a strong interest that would make you a good candidate. Be memorable — people remember stories, even (maybe especially) very little ones.
