Job Hunt

If you’ve ever been on the “job hunt” you’ve probably spent hours surfing the most popular job websites and you may even find yourself browsing the daily paper!
Have you found yourself reading those job descriptions and thinking (wow, this is SO perfect, I would be amazing at this!!!) getting yourself SO psyched out and imagining yourself in the position described, making GREAT money, just like the description said you would…

So, after spending HOURS upon HOURS of searching these sites, uploading our resume, typing and re-typing those damn cover letters that NEVER sound good, you MAY just score an interview for this “amazing” job. So you go into the interview (I was always decked out in my FABULOUS business attire and always completely and totally ACEING the interview) and you’ve probably done the same…. So you tell me, did your interview kind of go like this???

1. Do you work well under pressure? (my answer: yes, I “thrive” under pressure)

2. Do you like sales? (My answer: of course sales are my “passion”)

3. Do you like the idea of “unlimited income potential?” (my thoughts: DUH my answer: “yes, that would be great”)

4. There is a series of other bulls*%t questions that you’ll have to answer also…

5. Then they MAY even give you a quick QUIZ… yes, that’s right a QUIZ… (of course I aced the quiz too)

Then you go home and wait for the phone call (which I always got) and you probably did too… so you come BACK in the NEXT DAY and they break the news to you….

“CONGRADULATIONS YOU’RE GOING TO BE (drum roll please):

A.SELLING INSURANCE

B. PARTICIPATING IN AN INTERNET MARKETING COMPANY (that gets “mysteriously” closed down a month after your interview)


What the FUCK you’re asking yourself…… GOD DAMN IT, NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! (I always wound up screaming something like that in my head…. Then I quickly realized that these damn job sites are crap and I might as well work for myself. )
