The One Where I Get Free Pizza
On a whim, I created a new blog to write about tidbits and stuff. I owe thanks to the job applications I am writing, whose titles contain the words “creative” and “text”. Job applications are difficult. Selling yourself is hard. How do you know where your qualifications end and the cockiness begins? How can you tell how much boasting you should do to impress the person reading their hundredth cover letter of the day? Trying to find the correct words for beginning a cover letter make me sound like a robot. Add these worries to the fact that I am writing applications for jobs in Denmark, where the requirements for cover letters are different than in the US and France, where I wrote previous applications. Maybe writing again will get the creative juices flowing. It’s times like these when I miss creative writing and being imaginative in my college English classes. Maybe I’ll figure out how to make myself look good while I eat the free pizza I got at work today...
