My problem is I identify with things too much
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
The job application process is so impractically antiquated. An employer asks you to submit all your qualifications, your resume, maybe even “requires” you to complete an unpaid project as part of the interview process, makes you go through 98736641 interview rounds… So tell me why applicants are also responsible for…
