Trying to Remain Unfazed
I am assembling some mailings that must reach their destinations by Friday. Things are not turning out that great at the moment.
Yeah, so none of this stuff bodes well, but at least I tried. That said, it has been my experience in the past that every once in a while, there does come that unexpected response (i.e., not a rejection).
*How did I ask about them without raising any red flags? Well, I have been thinking about taking a summer job working with kids, so. . . I do need them and that's not lying.
- I must have used up all my "nice paper" in the final flurry of JobQuest2010 mailings. Did not give it a single thought while I was at the office supply store making photocopies today after work.
I guess plain white paper will have to do. - I have hard copy confirmation of only one of my three required clearances, even though I reapplied for everything (including getting fingerprinted for the millionth time in my life) last July when I signed my new contract. I checked with the H.R. office*, and they don't have anything, either--other than the copy of the one thing I have!
I will be writing an explanatory paragraph about that little oversight in my cover letter.
