Well, now that
that’s over...
Can I just say how very disheartening it is to have potential employers be able to Google you when they’re going over your application? First of all -
application. Really?
Really? I can’t even do the patriotic thing and stretch the truth on it. And while I usually check that little box that asks if you’ve been convicted of a crime, I think it’s really just
tasteless that HR is all "Oh yeah, Neal Caffrey. Love the show. Like hell I’m hiring you, but good luck." I’ve been turned down for a job and then asked out on a date in the same breath. And don’t get me started on the headhunter who tried to talk me into dancing at a meat market because he’d seen that stripper movie that I was emphatically not in.
At least I have a job doing art restoration, but ever since I started using my real name they don’t let me near the good stuff anymore. I don’t generally do emoticons, but :(
You people who’ve known what you wanted to be since the age of two and then grew up to be that – I used to think you were creatively-stunted, but these days, I think you’re pretty lucky. In addition to being stagnant, I mean.
