The first PFO

I just got my first PFO today for XX company. Seeing as I had applied for their graduate program, way back in January, I wasn't expecting to hear anything. The PFO it's self was rather lame, saying thanks for my application and showing an interest in the company, etc.

It's funny, when I was opening the letter this morning I was sitting and thinking, and I was rather excited about finally getting a job, but then the dread of having to clean myself up and go for an interview came over me too. Thankfully I found out I didn't have to do an interview once I read on. But for those 3 seconds there was a little chill down my spine.

I think I need to mentally prepare myself for the prospect of an interview and take it from there.

finger licking stamps


39 stamps cost me €21.45. And the newspaper was about a €1. So with my investment in my career of under €30 (pens,envelopes, printer paper) I'm ready to see what kind of a return of investment I am going to get. I picked up the Irish Examiner this morning and I've found 14 jobs that would interest me, but only 2 that I am qualified for. So I think I will take the gamble and send the CVs to everyone and see where I get with them. Am I pissing in the wind with this method ?
