Dear employment gods,

fatrockstarYes, it's me again. I'm sorry if I annoy you, but I want a job. Not just any job, because I'm better than just any old job. I want a job that is interesting and challenging, and pays my bills with a little left over to eat with. My current situation will not allow me anything less.
So I'm curious: What was that last year of experience all about if it wasn't completely useless? I kicked ass at that job! People loved me and everything I accomplished -- I think that and everything else on my resume is plenty to get me into my next gig. If one year isn't enough, then I suggest you open another window of opportunity where I can see it, and fast. I don't have to work in IT. I can work anywhere. My resume proves it.
I'm good at what I do and I get along with damn near everyone. My rapport with engineers and artists is the stuff of legend. I am worth the rate I ask for. I am an excellent manager. Excellent.
I would love to sit here and be the timid soul that asks for whatever you can spare, but I'm no longer going to settle for that. I'm done settling. I have settled in every facet of my life and paid for it dearly, and I'm not going to do it anymore. I deserve better. I refuse to waste my god-given talent on a position that is beneath me just because something is better than nothing. That's not good enough anymore. I'm tired of you guys jerking me around because I've been too eager to please you in the past.
I want a PM job with a company that produces a product or service I understand and would use myself, that pays at least four bucks more an hour than the last test gig I had. In return, I will continue to be the incredibly competent, creative, kickass manager I am and then some.
It's not too much to ask, and I refuse to believe it is anyway.
Regards,
Wynne
