An open letter to people looking for an employee

“Employers are but a pawn in the big Mind Orgy”
This is the phrase I have been seeking for the last 20 years. Thank you!

… I do not have Turrets Syndrome,

Well there’s your problem! The girl they wound up hiring had a nice set of turrets.

A friend of mine was visiting an old colleague of his who had become personnel manager for a gigantic corporation. While they were chatting in his office, he walked over to a huge pile of CVs on a desk, casually picked up the top half of the pile and dropped it into the waste basket.

“Why did you do that?” Asked my friend.

“We don’t hire unlucky people…”

Revisited to review the advice that had been given since I have another interview tomorrow!
Looking back with a clearer head I think the problem was I wasn’t being myself. I was trying to be the person I thought they would hire. Obviously, I was wrong. I just ended up being timid and uninteresting. Here on out I don’t play any games. I will be myself, funny, intelligent, and a little wierd and if I blow it then it’s for the best because they wouldn’t like me anyway.
One more time, thank you all for the advice, I have a good feeling about this one.

**Hey you, yes you. Why did you call me if you weren’t going to hire me? What the hell happened in the interview that ruined my shot at the position? Obviously there was something in my resume that was interesting enough to get me that first phone call. I wore my suit, I spruced myself up. What went wrong? You need someone to answer your phones and I need a job. Believe me, answering phones is not beyond my powers. I’ve been doing it for a good 15 years not. I do not have Turrets Syndrome, I do not have a BO problem and after a few mistakes in the mid nineties I have good fashion sense. Hire me. Or stop calling and getting my broke ass hopes up.
Thank you and good day. **

At least you got an interview.

Of course, I just really started looking hard again.
