Job Search Blues

Hello Everyone:

I have a headache.  No reason why, I just do.  When I go home in a little while, I'll eat something and take a Tylenol.  Today has been a pretty quiet day.  I applied for yet another job, Public Arts Coordinator for the City of West Hollywood.  It is such a drain to keep applying for work.  The chore of filling out applications, uploading documents, and waiting for the rejection letter can really deflating.  Sometimes I think what's the point of trying?  It's only going to lead to more rejection. Very rarely do I get an interview.  I guess to my credit, I'm trying to sound more enthusiastic in my cover letters.  Tooting my own horn about my accomplishments and how happy I would be working for where ever.  I figured if I sound excited about the position, it'll attract some attention-the right kind.  Employers like to read applications from people who sound excited but not too excited about coming to work for them.  Public Art Coordinator sounds like it would be a good fit for me.  I can combine my background in Art History and Historic Preservation as well as my more marketable skills to really make a good go of it.  Now if I can only get in a room to convince a human resource person of all this.  As my sweetie just reminded me, "she who plugs away, wins."  I would just like winning to happen quicker.  In the meantime, I just keep myself occupied and try not to dwell on the crap pile.  I hate to wallow, not a lot of fun and way too much effort.
