four random things by Alison Green on August 24, 2010 1. I guest-posted a few days ago over at You Should Only Know. Complaining about ingrates. Also, her whole blog is awesome; check it out. 2. If you’re job-searching, check your spam folder. This is my annual announcement. 3. It’s really not a good idea to use my sample cover letter as your own. Especially if you’re applying for a job that’s I’m doing the hiring for. I’m going to recognize it. This has happened twice now! That thing is there for illustration purposes only. 4. Did I mention something exciting is coming? You may also like:I sounded like a know-it-all in front of my boss, seeking more lucrative offers when I don't want to leave, and moreI branched out at work and was criticized for it, boss wants me to follow up on everything with emails, and moredo I need to do something creative to get a job? { 2 comments }

Cass* August 25, 2010 at 3:54 am I'm afraid I'm one of those who asked for advice and didn't say thank you! AAM, I tend to feel the same way as your friend (who felt like she would be bothering the advice-giver a second time). Also, I didn't have the courage to follow through with the advice given so I couldn't reply back with a "I took your advice and this is what happened" story. Anyway, thank you for answering my questions! This blog is great and I think we all appreciate you taking the time to answer all of our questions :)
