Okay, we're serious this time, folks.
A feeble, though noted battle cry for me that I will try using as I began this morning to de-construct and disect the web, trying to find that elusive job in the career field.
I don't know why I was brain-dead so long as to not call up the Michigan Association of Broadcasters website. They actually provide you with, among other things, keys in your job hunt: discussing what a cover letter is, preparing you with eight questions a potential employer may ask you in an interview, and how to market yourself effectively.
I am having a ball this morning reading some of these resumes posted online. Not knocking the applicants as individuals, but reading through some of these resumes makes it painfully clear we need to know computers, sentence structure & proper spellings to make it in today's world. That's what employers expect from applicants.
But cover letters posted on the site were crazy. One concluded "go team!" Another began with "Yo, my name is"... And yes, I did see one that said "What's up?"
Another clearly stated "I need a second job." To which an employer would likely reply, "Oh, so you can't give 100% of your efforts to us?"
It would only serve to increase my job prospects, so I should take that positive thought in mind. And doing it with some humor, of course.
