Relieved and productive, but also a bit frustrated
I've been searching for a job since graduation. Not only had i created a resume in school for my speech class, but after graduating i revisited it to clean it up more. It was made in Google Docs, so i downloaded the PDF and uploaded it to the website(s) the jobs I took interest in were using
well, it automatically converted the format of my resume to their own format. Which completely butchered the information - like, random parts of one sentence slapped into the middle of a different sentence that was about a completely different past job i had had
I did not know this
so for months i've been wondering *why on earth* i havent heard NYTHING back, from even the most basic of jobs, because i know im more than qualified for a majority of them so it just seemed odd to me. Well, i was applying to another job tonight and finally noticed so I spent a good hour re-writing everything from scratch on the website itself (not Docs) so it fit their format from the getgo
Im irritated i wasted all this time when i couldve potentially had the jobs I applied for previously otherwise, but relieved i got it all fixed up and hopefully it was for good reason and i get the perfect job for me now!!
that was long, i just really wanted to share somewhere since its almost 2am and all my friends are sleeping
