Clerkship applications. Argh! I'm so sick and tired of writing cover letter after cover letter and answering stupid behavioural questions like "What do you feel was your greatest achievement and what barriers did you have to face in achieving it?" Booooooooo! Just give me a job!
ah. Ewwwww. That's never any fun. I really suck at interviews and answering dumb questions like that, so I know how you feel. The application process for anything these days is really, really dumb.
7 down, possibly another 3 to go. Light at the end of the tunnel! But only because I've left all the ones with a ridiculous number of "additional questions" to last.
Aah, yeah I pretty much have one cover letter that I send off to every place I apply... it really sucks having to write them. x_x;;
And I'm leaving on December 5th, then I do about a week of training, and then I'll move to my apartment in Mito on the 14th.... and then I'll work for a couple weeks and have time off! haha xD
Boooooo! You'll be partying it up in Japan while I (fingers crossed!) will be slaving away at my clerkship. You must have fun for the both of us this year! Hopefully I'll be able to pull some time to come visit you next year.
OMG, Peggy, I am such a loser. I sent off my Clayton Utz application with a Gilbert + Tobin cover letter. Fark! I can only thank God that I don't really want Clayton Utz, but I'm going to have to ring their HR tomorrow to see if I can salvage the situation.
Dear me! But if you actually think about it, it's only an honest mistake. You've been doing 8/9+ applications for the past two weeks! Come to think of it, you're probably not the only one that this happens to! Was HR completely fine with it? Also... hello! like duh you're going to get interviews! How many of the 10 do you actually really want?
I bought a perfume atomizer today. Am strangely excited about it! But now that I've got one, I don't know which perfume to put in it!
She was very nice (deceptively nice, mayhaps) and said she would make a note to disregard the application with the wrong cover letter. So, erm, fingers crossed! It was funny because when I rang up and said "I'm afraid I've done something really stupid in my application", she laughed and said "What have you done?"
Out of the 10, the only one I really don't want is Blake Dawson (and that's the one I still haven't applied to). All the other ones I want interviews from at the very least. The one I really want is Mallesons. Oh Peggy, I want them so bad I might do something stupid if I don't get an interview!
Excuse my stupidity, but what is a perfume atomiser?
