I been updating my resume on there for quite sometime...got a few jobs off there..but there hasn't been anything on there lately..
its weird, the job im working at now....i looked completely unqualified to do ON PAPER. I applied like 'ah fuck it...maybe i can pull it off in the interview' ..i mean...me working a fucking nasa? come to find out its probably the easiest job with someone that has half a brain can do.

when i got hired my boss showed me the other 4 peoples resume. they ALL had atleast one word spelled wrong in the resume. some even had like 4 or 5. thats why i got the job, basically.

because none of the other applicants gave a fuck about the small things and the first impressions

something that helped me get a job

ODB was once applying at a airport..and the manager was talking..well ODB sees the calendar and that it was the managers son's birthday w the dat eon it..so ODB was like oh i see its your sons russels bday today and he'll be 14..well the manager was impressed by his ability to pay attention to small detail and hired him and his boys outside

just something to think about

^^ What kind of job do you have?

Meeting new people has to be the best way to get a job. I just don't like the people that try to be your friend and then try to get you to join their pyramid schemes LOL
