erikaj - I think it is a daughter thing. My dad is a pretty good dad and he does know that I am an adult - but he has real blind spots. for years I told hi to watch the movie Crossroads because I knew he'd like it. When did he watch it - when the 16 yr old son of friend recommended it. Sometimes I think dads don't hear their daughters.

askye - my application and resume did not match for my last job. I still think I am the only one that noticed.

GC, those are *adorable*!

You should see my dad's ten minute lecture/demo on how to properly sweep the floor.

and congratulations DJ!

and letter ma~~~ Suzi and 2nd interview ma~~ .askye.

Can your dad come over and sweep my floor brenda?

GC, those are *adorable*!

Yeah, I freaked when I saw them and then spent stupid money to get them! But today I am happy. I loves them so.

Those are so cute!

Is there a version of Blank loves Carrots except when you can't stop talking about a negative thing. Like this application hates whatever.

Now I see I need 3 professional references, that aren't relatives or employers, okay. I can come up with one, I should have figured out about references before but I wasn't thinking about it (and frankly I've never applied for a job where it was an issue). PRofessional means someone you've known in a professional setting only and I can't put down someone who is more a family friend right?

Er, not employers? WTF? Like, not "call the HR department" or not "this was my boss there" or?

I'd try to list some coworkers, askye...(edit: but only if you forewarn them and they agree)

professional should be someone you have worked for/with. but volunteer stuff works ( usually it means employers)

Would it look bad if I just put co workers from the same place? My ex supervisor said I could use her before she moved, but I don't have her contact info anymore.
