Quick Update
Hey all, been a while I know, but I thought I'd share a quick little story.
I'm going for a higher pay position at work, and as such spent most of my workday Friday writing up my resume, cover letter, that sort of thing. What made an interesting addition is a "statement of claims" which you make against all the selection criteria of the position. I've never actually written one of them before, but spent the afternoon writing 2-3 paragraphs against each of the 8 or so criteria.
It was only after I was rereading my efforts and the position vacant ad that I realised that I had written my statement of claims not against the selection criteria but against the list of duties expected of the position!
Feeling thoroughly silly (and hoping reading comprehension isn't a selection criteria :) ) I had to re-write the whole thing against the 9 selection criteria that I should have.
Still, it was a nice way to spend the work day. I'll let you all know how I go with it and I'll have a longer update on just what the fuck's been going on later.
