Looking for a job

Anyway, you're getting the interviews, so you know your resume/cover letter is doing it's job. And you know what your problems are. Come up with some pre-prepared enthusiasm and focus (anticipate questions), dress well, and show up 15 minutes early. Have a coffee near the place if you're that worried about being late. Have questions ready, because it makes you look interested, and if the interviewing is talking you can just nod and look interested. Send a thank-you note after each interview and each rejection.

You don't have to answer racist/sexist/discriminatory questions, at least where I live. Gracefully dodge the question or decline to answer if you want.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I find it funny people go to their true self AFTER they got that job.


After a few weeks the hired people really show who they are.

They shifted back to who they really are. I find that funny. It's like most [or all] of us are actors.

Nothing like being your own boss and not having anyone to be a boss of. Customers are exceptions to being the boss - sometimes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
