Laura and I have spent a significant chunk of today working on our U.S. government applications. We picked the same day to do it because it's very stressful, and so we can proofread each other's KSAs. It's rather difficult, while we're both interested in slightly different fields, a lot of the jobs we want require Secret to Top Secret levels of

Good luck! And that sounds mucho exciting. I hadn't realized that that was the field you wanted to head into. Coolness!!! I'm sort of envious, as I've always fancied a job to that end. Oh well, maybe one day, we can be sisters in goverment-dom (I want to work for the EPA or the UN). ^___^

Oh, writing essays like that are SUCKAGE, MAJOR (trust me, after the mountain of personal statements I just did... I feel your pain -_-). Maybe you can get someone to list out some of your more than stellar skillz for you, and then you can jump from there?! Just be honest.. I find that helps.

And yeah... sometimes, you just have to go.

First, AWESOME ICON!! (he's so hot!)

And yeah, I'm really, really interested in intelligence analysis and national security, like a weirdo I read the Intelligence and National Security Journal in my (nonexistent) spare time.

Both the UN and the EPA sound awesome. Congrats again on law school, it's going to be the death, but it'll be a fantastic death experience!

As far as personal statements go, I used a lot of my father's favorite Marine-isms like "motivation" and "initiative".

Things like this make me feel like such a slacker. I'm a freelance copywriter. I'm not doing Super Sekrit government stuff or anything remotely awesome like that.

But I do have a metroid umbrella... that has to count for something, right?
