What can we do as educational and cultural workers, at this crucial moment
in history, when corporate revenue expands as the
job market shrinks, when there is such a callous disregard for human suffering and human life, when the indomitable human spirit gasps for air
in an atmosphere of intellectual paralysis, social amnesia, and political quiescence, when the translucent hues of hope seem ever more ethereal, when thinking about the
future seems anachronistic, when the concept of utopia has become irretrievably Disneyfied, when our social roles as citizens have become increasingly corporatized and instrumentalized
in a world which hides necessity
in the name of consumer
desire, when media analyses of military invasions is just another infomercial for the US military industrial complex with its huge global arms industry, and when teachers and students alike wallow
in absurdity, waiting for the junkyard of consumer life to vomit up yet another panacea for despair?
Once your resume is more reflective of your
future goals
in the industry you
desire, the easier it will be to match you with potential
job opportunities that meet your career aspirations.

in response to an available position, a letter of motivation only inquires if there is a
job and expresses a
desire to work with the company
in future.
