In a Word!


Sick!

To add a few more words...

I know I've been a blog slacker lately and I promise I'll get back on the wagon soon. I'm just not feeling well this week.

I won't go into the details because nobody really wants to hear them, but I'm not functioning at full capacity.

As much as I like blogging, I lspend time reading my Measurementssss, AMSssssss, Mechanicsssssss.

So I'll be back in action soon.

As soon as I actually have something remotely interesting to say and as soon as I stop whining all the time (because again, nobody really wants to hear that).

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Love

Vignesh

Search for a perfect job continues!

Is the perfect job out there? I sure hope so.. but in today's economy it can be difficult to find and the job search will frustrate you to no end. Employers are receiving 500+ resumes a night after one posting and I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out how to make my resume stand out. Do I try to come off as a funny person or do I pack as many buzz words as I possibly can? Employers expect you to put complete effort into your resume and cover letter submission specifically tailored to their company yet with no guarantee of a call back or interview. Sometimes I feel as though I am shooting in the dark when I send out these resumes. This is what I really feel like sending out to employers:

"Dear Hiring Manager:
Attached is a copy of my resume. I have experience and skills that will work well in this position because I AM THE BEST! Call me or don't call me.. my work speak for itself!
Thanks!"

The job search can be frustrating and can get me down.. but I will stay positive and keep at it. The perfect job for me is out there, I just haven't found it yet.
