Job Search Woes
Catherine, a RN, was unhappy with her job, so she submitted her
resignation. She was sure she'd have no trouble finding a new
position, because of the nursing shortage in her area.
She e-mailed cover letters to dozens of potential employers and
attached her resume to each one. Two weeks later, Catherine was
dismayed and bewildered that she had not received even one request for
an interview.
Finally she received a message from a prospective employer that
explained the reason she hadn't heard from anyone else.
It read: "Your resume was not attached as stated. I do, however, want
to thank you for the vegetable lasagna recipe."
