Why is it so hard?

Writing a cover letter I mean.  Of course this means I am still looking for a job.  Per the recommendations of a few close ones, I've decided to beat the pavement and start asking around.  That in of itself is a nightmare of sorts.  I think the word "demoralizing" comes to mind. Hence, the cover letter issue.  I just wish it was easier than it is.  I mean if you think about it - who can't toot their own horn? Me apparently.  

Anyway, still looking for a legal assistant position.
