Resumes and Cover Letters

That's pretty much my life this weekend. I met with people from Samaritan Health Services yesterday during a career fair at the school and I'm now a little bit more nervous about the whole post-graduation thing. But I think it's an excited nervous. I won't just get a job offer because I'm doing my clinical at Good Sam, I get to fill out an application just like everyone else. But I've been told I have a really good chance and I'm pretty much guaranteed a job (albeit it is not coming from hospital people - it is coming from my professors).

I'm pretty much finished with my resume. Just little bits of touching up and polishing to do. The cover letter is another story. It was explained as a letter where you get to brag about yourself among explaining why you would be a good match for the organization. I'm okay with the explanation part but I'm not very good at the bragging part. So that's taking a little bit longer.

I did manage to go see a movie this afternoon with Carina and Stephanie. We went to the Baghdad so that we could have McMenamin's food while watching and their movies are cheap. We watched Marley and Me, which overall is a very good movie. I think I want to own it. However, if you have ever been a dog owner or you love dogs, you're gonna cry. Just be prepared. I was told this, but I rarely ever cry at movies - especially at movie theaters, so I didn't think it would apply to me and I ended up with tears streaming down my cheeks in a couple of parts. But really good movie.

Okay...back to the cover letter. My application isn't due until the 31st of this month so I have some time, but I would much rather get it done. If you want to, you can be praying for the right words to be written and for peace over the whole situation. Thanks!
