word salad.

I just made a course: Job Interview Success. You could honestly get almost any job you want as long as you can pull of a good interview. It’s not easy, but it’s doable. With my interview skills, I could probably get hired as an astrophysicist. Once they hired me and asked me to do something, they’d be sorely dissatisfied, but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. What I am trying to say is the economy is rough stuff right now, and you have to be able to set yourself apart from the rest of the rat race.

Don’t get the wrong impression. The idea isn’t to bluff you’re way through a job interview, because hopefully you’re not applying for something that you aren’t qualified for. The idea is to present who you are genuinely and know how to talk yourself up without sounding like a royal snot-bag (Doesn’t my shifting vocabulary impress you?). Strangely, one of the most intense interviews I’ve ever had was for Bed, Bath and Beyond. I went through two interviews, worked there for quite some time, but never really figured out what the whole “Beyond” thing was about. It’s was pretty much just Bed and Bath stuff. I’ll give you a hint for anyone looking to shift into a career at the triple B: don’t do it. It mostly includes climbing very high ladders. Not only was it awesome due to my lack of coordination, I actually almost met my end top stocking a very heavy mixing bowl. I just remember the interview suggested that most of my goals and dreams for the future should include comforters, bath mats, and curtains. Somehow despite sharing none of those enthusiasms, I was still hired.
