O, how I loathe, detest and utterly HATE the process of finding employment.

I've only ever been successful at getting 2 jobs in my life (Baku and Beach Culture) and I was rejected the first time I went for an interview at Baku and worked at Beach Culture for 2...that's right, TWO shifts (well, 3 if you count my trial). Goodness. That's a 40% success rate, in terms of places I've been interviewed/called back for (the other three were Bijoux and 2 little law firms). Of those three places that I was unsuccessful for, 66% of them FAILED to contact me to say I hadn't been successful. Add to that the COUNTLESS numbers of applications that I've tendered only to have NO RESPONSE....ARGH!

I get majorly pissed off when people don't get back to me...especially when I've been to an interview. The least they could do is give me a quick phone call or send me an email (even easier!). Idiots. It's just RUDE.

So anyway, I logged on to the net to subject myself to MORE of this ridiculous job hunting activity (I don't know why- I have a perfectly good- except for the low-paying aspect- job already at Baku which I'm sure I could get back if I called them)...argh. Maybe I should post my cover letter here and you guys can figure if I sound too much like a wanker or not.....nah. I don't need you to tell me that which I already know!
