Rehashed, Innocuous, Condescending, and Untested Career Tips

- If you are looking for work, wait to spark up that log. There aren’t many things more deflating than being out of work for months, receiving an offer, and having it rescinded because you fail a drug test. GIMME a L!
- If you are currently out of work, just be glad that someone wants to hire you. Don’t expect to receive compensation equal to what you earned in your previous position. It is likely you were overpaid anyway.
- Telling an employer that you were terminated from you last three jobs for poor attendance is a really bad idea. At that point, lying would be the least of your issues.
- A black suit worn with brown shoes is widely known to be a powerful paycheck repellent.
- You will not be hired if a company isn’t able to envision you working with them for long stretches of time. Try not to be an over-talkative schlub or a wispy wallflower. Hmm…Maybe you should try that outside of the interview too.
- When an employer wants you to tell them about yourself, skip the part about working in the prison laundry.
- After starting a position, wait at least 90 days to whine and complain…just to make sure you make it through the probationary period.
