It's kind of a balancing act -- if it's a job that is a really good match, I'll certainly take the time to craft the perfect resume and cover letter. If, on the other hand, it's not a perfect match, I'm happy to throw my hat into the ring, but I don't necessarily expect a call.
For hundreds of posts, this blog was about never giving up. Well, I didn't give up (thanks, Tim Westergren!) and now I have the job of my dreams. Now this blog is about applying the Liberal Arts to Business.

My Indeed.com Day: 14 jobs in one sitting.
Indeed.com has a nifty feature whereby you can upload your resume and then send it to selected positions that accept resumes via indeed.com. Were they personalized? No. Were they long-shots anyway? Yes. But it was so easy to send them out, why not throw them all to the wall and see what sticks? I know the odds are low of landing a job like this, but the odds would be lower if I never tried in the first place.
