No, Christine, you aren't. I am unemployed too. I've taken to answering the question, "So what do you do?" by saying, "O, currently I'm a stripper for blind and deaf men" and smiling.
It speaks volumes about a person if they know I'm kidding. :)
I'm in public relations. I'm especially tired of the first interview, second interview, and weeks of no contact. What with the "employment at will," which basically means they can fire you for no other reason but the fact that they don't like your face, it's a wonder that companies are trying so hard for the "perfect match."
Why interview 100 people, I think, when you have a perfectly good candidate, willing to give 110 percent? If it doesn't work out, fire me. But at least give me a chance.
Mary!
