little details to make it look like I had written it just for this particular application. I tried to apply to a job every day. I figured the chances were that someone would have to respond to me.


And I did get several responses. However, I started to realize that I had created a huge problem for myself. I was starting to get emails that said:


“Hello Adriana, that’s for your interest in this position. I would like to set up a time to talk.” That sounds great, right? Yeah, it’s sounds really great except that I had no idea what position I had applied for. I didn’t even really know that much about the company. I desperately searched through my records to see if I could find anything that would tell me what the position was. If I was lucky, I had a confirmation email that told me the position I applied for. If I wasn’t, I’d have to go searching on the company’s job board to see if there was a position that I would have applied for.


Of course, over time, trying to find a job becomes easier. You start to realize a little more what you’re interested in doing, or even better what you absolutely won’t do (for me, it’s cold calling and sales). You learn how to paste your cover letter together so it seems more coherent and applicable to the job. At some point, you learn how to turn in both quality and quantity in your applications. And if you really can’t remember what position you applied for, just ask “I was just hoping you could tell me more about the position”. They can’t expect you to know all the day to day responsibilities. I mean, they haven’t hired you yet.
