I'm having such a negative day! Worse, I think it was triggered by filling out job applications. I can't remember standing out at doing anything but the work I've done at my last job. I can recall very, very few specific accomplishments in my work. I can't remember any semi-major problems I've solved. I found meeting planning/scheduling stressful. I can't think of any semi-major report I've produced in Excel, even though I generally know how to use it. Now I'm beginning to project it to the future. I won't be able to do anything important well and that will frustrate me endlessly. Geez, I'm messed up.
One application just went on and on. After saying page 5 of 5, that was only a part of the process I had to complete. Another one made me format my resume twice. Then once I had registered with the job posting database, I saw the actual posting on the company website and discovered they had mistakenly posted the position as full-time when it was, in reality, part-time.
Perhaps I am a bit fried. I feel like I got very little actually accomplished though, which isn't encouraging.
As I've gotten further in the process of one application, it has become clearer to me how important two particular qualifications are to them. One of them, experience with event planning and scheduling, I've only done at ATRI. I found it quite stressful. But I don't know if I didn't enjoy it because I don't enjoy it or because of the work environment. Would that make a difference? This stupid application I filled out thinking, "what the heck?" has turned into one big waste of time and brain cells, not to mention thinking I shouldn't have bothered filling out the app...
