When I say uncountable I mean what I say, and I say what I mean. If you think I am exaggerating things here, start counting how many applications you have submitted in form of CV or cover letter, yet no replies, I mean no single reply both online and offline. Can you recall the exact number? Impossible, except you are a type that keeps a perfect journal, which is also impossible in this part of the world. dollar to naira rate
