So I'm currently doing a job hunt while I'm doing temp work for the local correspondence college (I can actually say this since it's based in my current state). I've been applying mostly for administrative roles, receptionist roles and legal receptionist/secretary/assistant roles. I've avoided the job ads that state "must have <x> years experience" or that they're seeking anything above 12 months experience.
One of the ads however, made me giggle and all at once. It was for a "boutique" law firm that appeared to be quite posh when I checked their website. However, the application was literally this:
Needless to say, I promptly emailed them asking for more information and did not send them my resume.
On a side note, I wound up sending about 10-15 applications over the last two days. I am expecting a LOT of emails on Tuesday
Oh and for those who are wondering "Why legal work when you have an anxiety disorder?" I've found that for some odd reason, working in an office is strangely therapeutic. I have not had an anxiety attack at all since I started, despite the fact that my role requires me to actually interact with people regularly. Also if I play my cards right, I may be able to go for a smaller firm that handles stuff that's not as "reactive". Ironically I applied for a firm that handles child abuse cases...go me
