#temporary
i’mmmm… sort of! still here? i haven’t logged onto this tumblr in an age and a half after i assumed most of my content would get nuked with the new content restrictions (it did), but logged on with a whim today. thank you for all of the amazing messages in the interim, omg. if i have time tomorrow i want to post some of the things people left me. now it’s the middle of the night and all i can think about is being milked and bred and settled into my natural role and place. ssssiiigh.
You said you loved me and I told you o loved you to and it sucks because we both meant different things you meant you cared a little me you said it to make me feel better you said it cuz you thought it was the right thing to do. I told you I love you because you were my everything I told you I loved you because because you gave me hope there are hundreds of reasons why I said I love you but I’m finally realizing that it doesn’t matter to you I know it’s not important I know you to care you just use me to fill the hole in your heart until you find some you really love I’m just temporary right? Everything you said was just temporary
Whether you’re looking for something temporary during the holiday season or a full-time career, it often seems impossible to get your hands on an elusive job. How do other people do it? Luckily for you, we’ve done our research, had our fair share of jobs and figured out some of the best tips for snagging the job of your dreams (well, at least a job).
• Make a specific cover letter. Many people will not use a cover letter at all, and if they use one, it will be canned and generic. Make sure you stand out with a letter that shows you did your research on the company and are very interested in this specific position.
• Call the hiring managers. It’s so easy for us to rely on our computers to do everything digitally, which is why they’ll be impressed by your drive and determination. It also shows them you’re willing to go out of your comfort zone – definitely an important skill.
• Quantify your actions. Yeah, it’s great that you “babysat kids” at your last job, but doesn’t it sound better to say you “engaged and enhanced the learning environment for three children under the age of 6”? Use strong verbs and numbers to really tell what you did.
• Use an appropriate email address. Maybe you’ve been using the same email since middle school; the fact that you still remember the password to that is impressive. However, employers will not be impressed by whatever nickname you chose – just make a new one.
• Send a thank you note. If there are any people who help you move along in the job process, no matter what kind of contribution they made, you should thank them. They went out of their way, and they’ll appreciate it. Bonus points if you write them by hand.
