Classifieds

Getting a job- easier or harder with the Internet? I have resumes on three sites, I'm "linkedin" and I can get advice about how to go about getting a job while I eat Fruit Loops and listen to my neighbors play AC DC. But, I'm also supposed to have email etiquette and know whether or not to send an email "thank you" or if a typed note is preferred. No more days of waking up and looking through classifieds and resigning myself to the fact that it could take months before I have a job. Nowadays, it's all about connections, your network (which reminds me of the Verizon commercial when people ask me how my network is) and whether or not you spend hours a day on the various sites that jobs will post to. I suddenly have to know how to sell myself in 5 minutes. I haven't felt this cheap since I went to roommate interviews 9 months ago.

WANTED: JOB. Exciting, lucrative job that will allow me to speak to large groups, write essays or reports on products I've sampled, and coordinate projects. Preferably little phone conversation. Health and Dental a must. Mondays optional before 11am.

Until I find this job in the classifieds section of the Village Voice- I'll content myself with the soduku.
