If they extended this list to 500, HR probably still wouldn’t be on it. I guess I’d clock in at #76 with sales, though? Shockingly, bartending is left off this list.
The cape buffalo is also one half of the legendary Catoblepas, who could allegedly kill a person with a look. The legend probably came about because if one of these things got a look at you, you were fuckin’ dead.
I never had the forethought to stall during a phone screen. Maybe I’ve just got so much experience interviewing for jobs that I’m good enough at improvising, but this is a great piece of advice.
Kiawah briefly noted the salary part, and I’m sure he’ll touch on this more later in the series, but if the range you’re comfortable with is 45-60,000, don’t mention your low end. Tell them you’re “shooting for something in the high 50s” but that you’re flexible on the salary for the right company and total compensation package. If their budget is only 50,000, they’ll tell you and you’ll still come out ahead of where you would if you said 45,000.
Big bag of gummy dicks? Hilarious. Keying her car and posting Craigslist ads about her? Okay, that’s actually a problem. But if the bag of dicks is what set her off to file a lawsuit, she’s probably the kind of person who deserves a bag of dicks sent to her.
I guess this would be easier to explain but it might also be more applicable if you’ve already left your old job and are looking for a new one in your new city. You could always say you’ve already procured a new living situation but are hanging back to finish up some projects at the old job.
Seriously, look at the top performing movies of the year. You’ve got six comic book movies, a Harry Potter movie, a Star Wars movie, and fucking Warcraft. Pokemon Go and Mario Run are two of the most downloaded apps for the iPhone. People make a lot of money playing video games on Twitch or in eSports. Nerd culture is the norm now, it’s not a fringe group.
To follow up on this with an alternate point of view: I’ve worked with a couple recruiters who, if they don’t have a relocation budget for a role, will gloss over resumes outside of their radius. USUALLY it’s not a problem, but sometimes you’ll get unlucky with a recruiter like that. If you have a friend in the city you’re moving to, ask if you can use their address on your resume. If there’s any sort of new hire packet to be mailed to you, tell the recruiter that you’ve recently changed your address and give them your new location.

I guess I better just call it a day and go to bed now, because nothing will be this good for the rest of the day.
Just dealt with another plumbing situation in the house. Sorry to hear about it, Rico.

Hey, and I mean this in the most platonic way possible… Sup.
So does she interrupt the ceremony or does she wait until the reception to make it all about her?
Mariah Carey’s bomb of a performance was everything my 2016 needed. Sometimes the universe throws you a bone.

I thought we were all in the “Duda, wrap your shit up” camp?
There’s no better indicator of official beardedness than getting food stuck in it. Welcome, brother.

I think I only have one friend who still lives with her parents. Is it really that common?

Wearing dress socks only 12 times before you replace them? Damn, moneybags, I haven’t bought new dress socks in three years.
Someone help me I have a serious wardrobe problem.
CincinnatiMax could still be a thing!
Don’t lump Dayton in with us.
Straight No Chaser is all around better. Come at me.
Especially great because it lessens the amount of time that I have to spend watching Bee Movie.
