When you're applying for a new job, you often have to write a cover letter to accompany your resume and serve as an introduction to who you are.

This can be pretty tough, but if you utilize the principles of good storytelling and concise writing you can put together a letter that won't get lost in the pile.

Up until several months ago, I could count on two hands the number of interviews I've had in my life. Every few years, there'd be something: college visits, a new job but, thankfully, I usually passed the proverbial test the first round to avoid additional probing. That all changed when I recently left my job of seven years.

5 attitudes that lead to job search failure
If you ever want to lie awake at night, go ahead and think about your "one thing" -- the one thing you were born to do, the one career you were built to succeed at and the one person you were destined to spend the rest of your life with. Attempting to solve these impossible optimization riddles is a sure path to emotional turmoil, an unsatisfying professional life and, well, a pretty bleary-eyed morning.

"Are You Sure You Really NEED a Job?" by Neil Shelton page one
One of my favorite cartoons shows a politician giving a speech at one of those thousand-dollar-a-plate dinners. He's saying, "...And during my administration, we've created 200,000 new jobs!". Applause sweeps through the room as a bus-boy is shown in the background picking up dishes, think ing, "And I've got THREE of them." Well, personally, I haven't held a steady job in 30 years, but I can tell you that it was one of the most soul-scarring experiences of my life: not only was I expected to show up at the same time and place every morning, but I had to stay there and pretend to be doing something for eight long hours every day, with no consideration whatever for what I REALLY wanted to be doing. Okay, I'm (sort of) joking, but if you still find yourself working for The Man, then it's no joke to you, and if you're trying to make a go of homesteading AND holding down a steady job (or three) it may be down-right depressing.Entreprenurial
