I’m currently soliciting a couple of undergrads to work as Student Instructional Technology Assistants. Some people don’t have the faintest clue how to apply for a job. One guy wrote an email saying that he knows we asked for a résumé, but none of his other jobs required one so he didn’t have one. Yeah, like we’re really going to hire for a tech position who apparently can’t figure out the résumé wizard in Microsoft Word.

Another person could barely write in complete sentences. She said one of her goals was to use this particular foreign language she’s majoring in, but she didn’t capitalize the name of the language.

Also, people, my name is not Aprill Clark. It’s so bizarre that they manage to get my email address right, which contains both my first and last names, yet they can’t get it together when they write their cover letters. Sheesh.

So, if any of you out there are job-hunting, let me emphasize the importance of making sure your résumé is immaculate. When I get 10 résumés for every one person I hire, you better believe that I’m looking for reasons to throw some of them out.

In other news, I have a new favorite beverage: Fruit Refreshers in Cherry Limeade. It is available at your local Kmart. It is delicious in one of the tall Tom Collins glasses that Ruby gave you over the crushed ice that comes out of your refrigerator door.
