ARGH!

So yesterday I told you how I was frustrated because I hadn't heard back from anyone regarding the many many resumes I sent out. Well, I know for sure that at least 5 of those are because I am a moron.

I just realized that I had taken my previously nonspecific resume and had made it specific for one company in the Objectives line, sent it to that company and then forgotten to make it unspecific again and then sent it out to several other companies.

ARGH!!!!!!!

It doesn't matter how qualified I am or how awesome my cover letter was (and there were some truly great cover letters). The fact that I stated that I was looking to gain employment at a company that was not their company gets my resume tossed in the trashcan faster than fast. It's pretty much showing them I am incompetent with flashing Vegas style lights.

Currently I am chanting to myself over and over....Everything happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. And contemplating going back to bed.

ps...in case you are wondering why I wasn't making my resume specific for those companies in the first place, it's because many companies aren't giving their name or any contact information in their job postings. The only way to contact them is to send them an e-mail.
