birthdays

[jethrien]

Threw a little birthday party for edgehopper - cake and a card at Campus. It was nice. I think everyone had fun.

Managed to rip new holes in the damn clown costume with the quick change tonight. We're borrowing it from Triangle - they're going to kill us. Ah well, not my responsibility. The thing's positively ancient - the fabric's dryrotting and Marshall just put his foot right through the knee.

There are many interviews. They are a bit of a pain in the ass. But I'm glad I'm still getting them, so...

I'm sorry. I was too harsh. I'm getting pretty burnt out myself - I've got a file of about 50 cover letters. No job. And honestly, I'm not even sure how excited I am about the second rounds I do have. I'm a little bitter, and I'm taking it out on my friends, which really very fair. I'm sorry.

Sokay. I sent out 106 cover letters and got 3 replies.

One I screwed up yesterday. The next is next friday, at esquire. :)

If you're applying to jobs in publishing, you will get light-years farther sending your resume through a contact, as opposed to via their normal submission email/website. If you want to send me your resume and cover letter, I might be able to offer suggestions, and my mom might know some publishing folks we can pass it on to.

If you're applying to media/entertainment companies (where you don't know a good contact), I'm told you can get better results by FedExing a hard copy of your resume and cover letter to the hiring manager/HR person in charge of the job. Even if they claim "apply by email only."

What is your email? Mine is moooshy at gmail dot com if you want to send me yours. I'd be happy to send you a cover letter and resume, as I'd really like a job :)
