Sniffle, sneeze and honk
I feel like that's all I can do right now -- sniffle, sneeze and honk my nose. My West Coast cold has morphed nicely into East Coast allergies and I'm kinda like one giant sinus right now. Attractive, eh?
So I've been interviewing candidates for a position I'm hiring at work. And out of the stacks and stacks of resumes I've reviewed one thing keeps coming up that's driving me bonkers (and has provided a good tip for when I start my new job hunt).
HINT: If you're telling me that you would be a qualified writer/editor, do NOT put "great attention to detail" in your cover letter. Because you know what? The second you write that, I'm going to pay GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL while reading all your materials. That means you better damn-well not have any goof on the page. No misplaced punctuation, missing words, misspelled words, no triple spaces...etc... And if you do…well, then I guess you don’t pay “great attention to detail.”
I mean, come on! You’re already interviewing for a job where attention to detail is a must; a given, even. So don’t wave a pork chop in front of the dog, for goodness sake.
In other news…the new and final SPN is just two days away AND it looks like the show did indeed get picked up for a third season according to Variety. *happy dance*
maboheme- should I be expecting company on the couch Thursday eve? Give me a heads up so I can tidy the house a bit.
