Southwest to let small pets fly in cabin for $75
Suddenly, the often once-or-twice discussed Buffista Cat F2F has become feasible....
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How much research do you usually do before a job interview? Basically memorising the job posting is key, and your cover letter shouldn't be the generic (Buffista-written) one that's gone out to everyone on the web. Monster.com is suggesting I read up on the company that owns them too.
The Monster cover letter tips also includes other tips. A couple of which I will take. And I have some topic reading to do before the big game.
Meep.

ita, this is what the recruiter my DH is working with is telling him too. With the job I got a year ago, I lucked out as they were a vendor for DHL. With the DHL job, I got asked "how much do you know about DHL?" which at that point was almost zip... almost cost me the job, but I managed to stick around for 18 years (longer than the hiring manager at the time and 5 of his replacements)

Clue number 1 that you are bored: Google the phrase "I am Zim", then read the page you find on how to create a GURPs character based on Invader Zim. And be more than a little interested.

My big boss was just talking about interview mistakes, and he said the biggest one was not knowing about the company, especially in this day and age with the Interwebs and all.
Well, that, and talking money in the first interview. (This from a group that asked me if the salary was a dealbreaker... before offering me the job!)

Because books.
Jake is puppy-sitting. Which means *I* am puppy-sitting.
::desperately wants puppy for very own::
He has giant paws! And he's all wriggly! And soft!

What kind of puppy??

Jake says it's a Husky/Golden Retriever mix, but I think there's German in there. He's NAPPING at my feet now.
