My problem is I identify with anything I’m good at
For almost 10 years I’ve been a recruiter. That’s the only thing I’ve believed I’m good at. I say I’m a recruiter like it’s something that I’ve always been and always will be. But maybe that time of my life is over. It’s hard to think about doing anything else…

Cover letters are garbage
