a post before I go into exam-hiatus
Dear Employers,
I am interested in getting an internship this summer. Your company's commitment towards the principles of providing superior products and services, and behaving with integrity, dignity and respect is impressive. Therefore, I believe that my enthusiasm and desire to improve will make me a good fit for your team. I feel that my classes and extracurricular activities have provided me many opportunities to take initiative to show and improve upon my leadership abilities. I regularly kick my group mates' asses for work done in class projects. If they don't pull themselves together, I will kill them. Along with my leadership abilities, my strong analytical and communication skills would provide value to your company. Last summer I had to work under a menopausal accounting department controller who often changed company rules to fit her mood. I have plenty of experience with project analysis as the CFO of the company left me in charge of critical portfolios for months at a time because he went on vacation.
In addition to my experience at the credit union, I had the opportunity to organize the 2010 Global Business Case Competition. Not only was this position trying on my patience, I believe that it has given me the impressive ability to hold back against punching everyone in the face for their incompetence and often-change-of-heart. Overall it was a rewarding experience in that it looks impressive on my resume. I really didn't care about anything beyond that.
Although I seem to be a bit angry, whiny and bitter towards my peers, I am also not an asshole. I am just extremely frustrated and disenchanted with the entire system. Although I am proud of my peers for their drive to succeed, offering them a subsequent internship after their confirmed two already prestigious positions is a bit cruel don't you think? After all, I understand that you want the best candidate but what happens when they decide to turn you down? Waste of time don't you think? My gpa isn't the best, I assure you. However, you should not immediately judge by that one criteria alone, my motivation to learn, drive to succeed, and hardworking attitude does not shine through with heavily weighted exams. Please consider that.
Sincerely,
At-My-Wits-End.
PS: PLEASE HIRE ME ( ﾟ∩ﾟ)
More info on job woes:
- I can't even count the number of cover letters and resumes that I've been sending out or the number of interviews I've been on in the last three months. I can't even begin to count the number of rejection emails I have laying around my inbox. This is so depressing. I know I have the abilities to be a great worker, they tell me that I would be perfect for the position, it's just that I'm always not quite good enough because some other ~*amazing*~ individual has a more confident attitude/stellar gpa that steals my place.
- TROLLS EVERYWHERE. Examples below.
- One interviewer was 20 minutes late and spent a lot of the interview cutting me off because he was super pissed off.
- Another asked me the wrong set questions for the position. It wasn't until I asked them how electrical engineering was related to finance did they realize their mistake. Never got a call-back from them. Another didn't tell what the department even did. So I only had a gist of what was going on.
- The lady asked what I thought they did (I was right in the end) with a smirk on her face. icwudt.
- Another keeps on waiting two weeks to get back to me. "You want an interview? When are you available?" I respond back within the hour. Two weeks later. "Soooo are you still interested? lol"
- Applying is no longer simple. Instead of the simple upload your resume/cover letter it's this complete-a-20-step-process-that-always drops-data-so-that-you-have-to-figure-out-whats-wrong.
Edit: FUQ YOU LJ Y U SCREW UP FORMATTING.
