Excuse me, dear readers, while I use this to apply for a job!
Hi Yvonne,
My name is Katie. Currently, I am a teacher, working as casual relief (ie emergency/substitute). I enjoy this, but casual teaching is not very stable, and full time teaching eats up your whole life.
You want me for this position because I am enthusiastic, cheerful and highly intelligent. I am good with people, but also good with computers, having grown up around them. I even studied Computer Systems/Software Systems Engineering for a while, before I decided I liked people too much to be an engineer. This means that I know some basic programming and HTML already. I use computers and the internet most days, both personally and professionally. Professionally, I search for teaching ideas, and create learning tasks. When I was teaching full time last year, I became a Lead User for the Ultranet and even ran a Professional Development day for around 20 people. Personally, I have this blog, and an Etsy store. I use email, Facebook and am an active member of several forums.
Prior to teaching, I worked in retail, predominantly selling jewellery at Zamel's Jewellers in Eastland. This means that you know that I can talk to people and help them to figure out what they want. Christmas time especially is pretty high pressure in jewellery, but I always dealt with it with a smile.
Please hire me. I strongly believe that I would be perfect for this job, and it would be perfect for me!

What a great blog, Katie! I love your description of all of your experience. I really like your line about deciding you " liked people too much to be an engineer."
Pick Katie! I met Katie online (well, I have never met Katie - but I feel like I know her now). She would be perfect for your role - highly organised, creative and very tech savy! She is engaging and friendly which can be difficult via online media.
I'd pick Katie! She's intelligent, articulate and reliable, but also brings a quirky sense of humour with her. I only know her from the internet, but I hope to meet her someday. She would be an asset to any office.
I've known Katie for a few years now, and definitely believe she'd be a beneficial member of any team.
She's passionate, reliable, organized.. A fantastic person to be around, and a valuable person to know.
Good luck! Job hunting is the worst - hang in there :)
Thank you so much for dedicating a blog post to your application Katie! I really appreciate it and love your enthusiasm. I met Lara through the job I posted and we're working really well together so I'm afraid I'll have to let someone else snap you up on this occasion! again, thank you - you made me smile.. you are a doll!
