hmpfin just making super-minor changes to my job applications and then checking and re-checking and re-checking everything again and again just to make sure that the latest minor change hasn't accidentally resulted in fucking up something somewhere else. ARRGH.
I honestly can't manage more than two applications per week, and that's a *good* week.
Stats so far (since finishing uni):
1 application for a proper job
4 applications for trainee spots
3 applications for internships
5 applications for un-/semi-qualified part-time jobs
Yeah, I know that's bad. It looks slightly better if you realise that more than half of these were done in the last few weeks, so clearly, I've been picking up the pace.
But I'm still too slow.
The worst thing about all this is that I suspect that being *fast* in reacting to a job advertisement is key.
