send my application

I wrote this 2 or three years ago, when I was last looking for a new position. Now, I’m again looking. So, I guess I’ve “done it”, but I’m still “doing it” as well.

Working on it

this will be very very beneficial… and should be on my 3 goals list! today if i have time, i will send three online.

I was looking around to see if there is anything like a 43 Things-type service that hooks up people to actually sort of assist them through the nitty-gritty of getting an application/resume package sent.

I read about the way individuals are hiring assistants for office type help through guru.com, but of course that costs money. I came back to 43 Things to see if they’d added a sub-service where people use IM and/or email to set up specific tasks, talk about them a little, and then kind of life-coach each other to completion.

Sort of a combination of advisor/monitor/life coach/procrastination assistant…

If you’re not able to pay someone to do this, there are people like spouses and partners, but that can get tricky because of relationship issues. So some kind of third party monitor who could at least be there to witness the plan and check in on its execution with occasional email or chat exchanges might be useful.

Of course, knowing my ability to blow things off, you’d have to have a sort of suspension exemption or “PAUSE” button. That is, you might, for good or bad reasons, need to put the project/task on indefinite hold. Calling it a “free pass” button” would be a no questions asked way of turning off the coaching project without either one having to feel bad about it. And being able to come back to it if you decide to. That way, neither party threatens to become a negative to be avoided.

Anyway, thinking aloud and babbling. If anyone has seen something like this somewhere or thinks there might be a way to do it via 43 Things, by all means…
