over that line, this time

I finally stepped over the invisible line that was keeping me from applying to a job I bookmarked....like I was saying I have a tendency to look for jobs, bookmark them but take my sweet time actually applying. I think I put too much pressure to have the best resume and cover letter that I don't want to start.

But I decided, ok it's been a while since I've applied and even though I am going to approach my job search differently while I work through What Color Is Your Parachute, I am still going to apply for jobs I see in the "want-ads." So I picked the one that was closest to my last job and whipped up the resume and cover letter. I'm not going to worry about whether I get the job or not, if so that's great, but it was more of an action to get myself moving.

I don't really understand what it that gets me moving and what keeps me from applying. I guess it's the importance I put on each application, as if it's so utterly important that if nothing comes from it, it means that there is something wrong with me (Parachute 2007, pg. 61). I have to get past that but I haven't yet figured out what does get me past....
