09/12/2007: "I'm qualified.. I swear!"

Writing a cover letter is not fun. And I thought resume work was a unique hell.. oh, no. The cover letter just reeks of "if I don't do this well, I'll live in a box 4EVRZ!!!!!!".

Nothing makes you feel less qualified than talking about how qualified you are. Kinda ironic. Or maybe it's me. "Why are you good for this job?" "...because I want it?" "What skills do you have that make you qualified?" "I have a decent success rate at matching my clothes when I leave the house?"

Of course, I know that I am more qualified than others in my position. I've already taught in Japan, I work at a nationally recognized English school, and I have a fair degree of fluency in Japanese. Oh, and did I mention that I just frankly want it more? I don't want for a lot of things in life, mostly because it's tiring to have to work 'hell-or-highwater'-style for things. But when I want something, I get it. Each and every time.

I should get back to finishing this letter up, touch up the good ol' resume, get a copy of my passport, and get to mailin' this stuff off.

Jason needs a job. Let's see how long it takes (my current record is 6 days, from starting to look to starting work.. I think that'll be hard to beat).

Oh.. and I slept 5 hours last night. This is probably somewhat related to why I'm so tired and can't concentrate. Alas, back to the salt mines!
