Offer Letter
- I am not the frickin Buddha
- I need a job to pay my bills, and I want that letter now!
- The verbal offer was a month ago; what is taking so long?
- I put my job search on hold just for you; I can’t go back to looking, again
Feedback from That Final Interview Round
- I met 200 people across 5 separate days, what else do you want? My children? Fine, take them
- I was funny, clever, made eye contact, answered every question, what else do you want? Blood, fine
- I heard ” You are perfect for the job” about 300 times, what else do you want? Human Sacrifice?
Anything After Making Application?
- Hello,
- Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?- I spent 2 weeks on that friggin cover letter, where are you?
- I fit the job description perfectly, you are stupid not to call me!
- My resume is perfect, what’s going on?
- I was one of the first 10 applicants, hello?
- I feel so:
- Abused
- Confused
- Abandoned
- Hurt
- Angry
- Tired
STOP ABUSING US AND JUST SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!
