Contenders

After my first post yesterday, I noticed the New York Times is doing similar postings titled "Happy Days" (I wonder how long they struggled with that title). The series is a sample of people who are re-evaluating life during these hard economic times, and finding themselves new focus as to how to live life and what exactly is important. Here I guess I was imagining my postings were going to go down as classics at least to the struggles of our days, but I think my not-so-subtle subconcious must have ripped off the idea.

Today we completed Tolga's resume and cover letter . . . again. All these months I'd been focused on my own resume, on applying for jobs and different licenses, on sorting out so many issues, but I'm kicking myself now for taking so long. It's Tolga's job we want first and foremost - and we expect to relocate. My job I imagine will be easier to transfer most anywhere.

Upon the recommendation of friends, I had checked out the book "Resumes that Knock 'em Dead" and its companion, "Cover Letters that Knock'em Dead" by Martin Yates. I'm sure I will keep tweeking both because I'm not in the least convinced the resumes going to knock anybody dead, but its an improvement.
