the waiting is fucking killing me. im the best candidate, give me the job already. four months and something like four dozen resumes submitted. the job search grows very tiresome.

In a number of recent cover letters i included the following line: "...deadline-oriented environment in which the ability develop strong relationships and pay close attention to detail..."

i found the program just after i got the boot from law school and loved it then. kinda forgot about it and going to school for a while, but a comment from one of my roommates...

at a certain point in the job search you begin to wonder if you do in fact possess marketable skills. after looking over a few hundred job postings today, i think im at that point. i type this while acknowledging the fact that ive applied to more jobs this week than i have in a month.
