Would this be at all like if you were a Starfleet cadet trying to apply for an assignment aboard the Enterprise and the cadet said this eh, colorful conversation at turned out to be William T. Riker? Those of you who are Trekkies will surely understand.

Quoth Estil View PostFor example in my home state of KY's laws, it is totally fair game to fire someone for being gay [snip] but firing someone because they are a smoker is unlawful discrimination.A theory states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for, it will be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
Another theory states that this has already happened.

Quoth mikoyan29 View PostOne of the more interesting tidbits I remember from job hunting is to be nice to everyone you meet at the company. Evidently there are some people that will ask the receptionist how he or she was treated when you came in.
I've also tossed resumes after a decent interview with people who couldn't be bothered thanking or acknowledging the office manager if she brings us coffee during the interview. If we are still talking even a nod or smile is all it takes.
I was in the office talking to a guy who was dropping a resume when the boss, who was helping repair a piece of machinery, walked in covered in grease. The job hunter kind of glared at boss while he asked me to order certain parts, and when he carried on to the bathroom to clean up, job hunter said "that was rather rude of him to interrupt our conversation," before talking a few more minutes about our company and his resume. Job hunter left and boss walked out of the bathroom, picked the resume off my desk, looked at and said "huh", threw it out and kept walking.Pain and suffering are inevitable...misery is optional.
