Dear Maple Leaf Foods,

Please call me. I don’t have cooties.
You have posted the exact same Microbiology Lab Technician job about 3 times since February. I have applied all 3 times.
You are obviously not getting the specific superhuman person you are looking for, so just give me a shot. Please pick up the phone, and give me an interview.

Love,

The girl who really needs a job and already IS a good “Microbiology Lab Technician”

They keep posting the same job. If it’s not the exact same job, then they’ve got a whole bunch of Micro Lab Techs, and all of them happened to leave their jobs within the past 2 months.

Their application website is kinda screwy, though. It lets you save a cover letter and a resume.
The first time I applied (to several positions), I assumed it would send the resume/cover letter to whoever gets the job applications, but now I’m pretty sure it just send them a link to my MapleLeafJobs.ca profile and lets them view the stored resume/cover letter there. So all those carefully worded, job-specific applications were useless, I believe, if instead of sending them out it just told the HR person to check out my profile, because unless they checked right away they’d see a cover letter talking about a different job position they had open. Now I have a nice generic one there. Not as good overall, but better for this situation 😛

PS: give me an interview!
