I want to be a corporate whore:Got a question for all my LJ brethren and sisthren(?) out there. When you go about looking for a job, do you just send your résumé out to any place that seems even remotely like it might hire you? What's your process? For all they've done for me, my parents didn't instill in me any practical life knowledge. I ( Read more... )

what jobs are you aiming for?

It's sure possible to hate them both equally... I'm proof pudding.

The jobs.... spuffylover24 July 26 2004, 06:50:14 UTC
Send your resume to ANY place you're interested in. Even if you don't think they'd hire you. You'd be surprised. The only suggestion I'd make is to change your "objective" on the resume to fit with each job.

1) i do the monster.com thing. i'm lazy.

2) i'm with you on the sugar mama thing except it's sugar daddy for me and i have one but he doesn't make enough money.

3) you can't like them equally. and cats jump on things to much.

On corporate whoredom:
Depends on how narrow or wide you're casting your net, and how organized you are. If your sole criterion for selection is "It pays without me having to orally satisfy obnoxious slobby sararimen", you probably do not want to completely carpet-bomb resumes unless you keep very close track of what you sent to whom and when. On the other hand, it's like dating--the more chicks you cozy up to, the more chance you have of someone saying yes; so if you're needing work right the hell now, then by all means carpet-bomb. Just make sure you do keep careful track, blah blah blah.

On being a kept man:
What can you cook (or are you limited to Purina Bachelor Chow creations)? Do you know when to use Woolite and when not? And can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?

On pet people:
Of course you can. It's a stupid dichotomy, as, Ghostbusters to the contrary, cats and dogs can live together without mass hysteria ( ... )

Oh how I adore a Real Genius reference.

and I think you ought to combine both goals and just become a gigolo.

I think Hitler would've been the Jim Morrison of his generation. Unappreciated in his own time but praised for his artistic sense after his death.

if Andy Warhol did it, anybody coulda done it.
