“WHO SENDS EMAILS THAT EARLY!?!?! HONESTLY!”

Um… the people who have the kinds of jobs you’d like to have.

Secretaries and receptionists start work at 9:00; people with power and responsibility have already been at work for hours by then.

You certainly aren’t going to get ahead if you think there is something wrong with sending work-related emails at 7:51 in the morning.

If your blog is any indication of your writing skills, DO have someone go over your application materials to check for grammar at the very least. You make quite a few errors, and while I realize that blogging is a bit more informal than applying for jobs (although an argument could be made that good writing is good writing at all times) — one should know the proper usage of “it’s” vs “its.” In a competitive job market, sloppy errors like that scream, “I’m not competent!”

Perhaps your lack of focus is coming through. You yourself admit you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up. Once you graduate from college and enter the “real” employment market, you get hired to work, not to “find yourself.” What employer wants to give a good position with responsibility, growth potential, and a generous salary to someone who might flit off to something else in six months? It just isn’t a very good investment.

Your seeming sense of privilege might also be communicating itself to potential employers. People do start at the bottom and do work their way up; complaining and whining about how superior you are to the job you’ve taken and your co-workers is not a way to get ahead. No boss wants that kind of stress in the office.

One hopes your potential employers aren’t aware of this blog. It can’t help.

Hugs.
