I don’t know how people do it. I cringe every time I write a cover letter because there is absolutely nothing of value I can bring to a company that another qualified person couldn’t. I have been at my current company for three years, so maybe it will be easier with some experience under my belt than it was in college but probably not by much. My interview skills are still basically non existent. As an introvert it is exhausting trying to sell yourself for something you’re not really all that interested in. At engineering career fairs in college I would listen to the presentations and then dip out because networking is my worst nightmare.
I’m a creative person and would love a job related to music or something and would maybe even be enthusiastic about getting up and going to work in a job like that, but we all know jobs that pay well in that industry are almost non existent.
Just venting I guess.
