Dandelion – Post of the Week? REALLY? Wow, that’s so cool, thanks for nominating me… I thought only ace people were nominated for that!

Woo hoo!

PS – no, I don’t mind at all (in case you hadn’t guessed)

You’re right, KW, What Comes Next is always quite exciting – even if we only realise it in hindsight. Halfway through degree (but on track for a first which is funky). Am gonna plough through the last half for 18 months come February. Wish I’d done it as a teenager, to be honest. There we go with that hindsight again

Have you ever considered becoming a life coach?!

‘Waaaaaaah’ is always a good standby, isn’t it? Though really, hanging oneself would mean missing out on What Comes Next (at least on this mortal coil), which is never a good thing, in my view. How far through your degree are you? At least with the smelly nasty children you’d be in control; the power! the power! etc.

Aw, Missy M – surely matches and megaphones are essential props for any ‘creative’ interview? Ooh, Post of the Week – fancy that! Hello, by the way…

Hey, it might just stand out amongst all the staid, sensible, dull, non-perky applications. They may just invite you in, to get a good look at you!

When they do, resist the urge to take your lighter fluid, matches and megaphone.

Someone nommo-ed you for Post of the Week- and that’s how I linked here, so you’ve gained a new reader out of the ill-advised application, if nothing else

Still no news… sigh… don’t they realise how desperate I am?!?!

KW: I actually have no idea what I want to be when I grow up – isn’t that sad? I suppose, if all else fails, I go back to Plan A: finish my degree and teach French to primary school children. Sadly, I hate children. They’re sticky and smelly.

Am hanging in there… though this may change soon to simply hanging myself… waaaaaaaaah

They’d be mad not to hire you! And if they don’t want to hire someone like you – would you want to work for them??????? Hang in there!

So, what would you actually like to do, if you could, as a day-job (ignoring any writerly inclinations)? I’m great with CVs, you know…

I think Kate summed it up – especially the tea bit. As for juggling the studies, kids and chamber music AND knicker burning…. Madam, You’re Hired!

What a fabulous application letter. They’d be mad to reject.
