Everyone who hates looking for a job raise your hand.

Suddenly there are miles of people marching with arms up.

Hey LI, who loves looking for a job? (no one)

Filling up stupid little forms, going for totally idiotic interviews. As if those few blanks or those ten minutes can give you a clue to who you've hired or is going to hire. Even living next to someone for 20 yeras you can still say I can't say for sure I know this person totally (with conviction).

That's why I suck big time at interviews, I know the things I am supposed to say. like how responsbile and capable I am. Basically boasting with trained modesty: the skill to interviewing is to fake with sincerity and to make everything you want your future employer want to believe about you seem believable. (read that again, there's logic there)

References. People who will say good things about you. BAsically anyone you are not that familiar with. Afterall which of your good friend or family member can resist sharing some private joke about what a quirky person you are. Employers are not intersted in your personality afterall, all they want is work performance work performance work performance.

And I can't help but think how apt this term is. Work performance--it is afterall a big performance. Put on your work role for office hours. I don't care what you are after work hours, you can be a crossdresser or a avid porn collector. At work you are just suppose to be normal. (can anyone tell me what this word really means?) And just do your job and shut your trap. Haha I'm sure there are nice employers out there, it's the same as I'm sure that there are nice men out there. I just haven't met them yet. Maybe they are all living in some weird colony in some desert away from the rest of the needy world.

Oh no do I detect bitterness? tsk tsk . That wasn't OIying speaking, that's just some cynical horrible person trying to make some noise.

Here's what Oi YIng really has to say: Jia you Li, I know this is the sucky part of it. But hey know what? IT should console you that this part only happens at the beginning and this happens to only the rest of the world, so don't fret, just be your happy self, and knock those employers down.

They even do it to volunteers now, what is the world coming to?
