All you need is $50 and a heartbeat. It is not a matter of if, but when. And I'll give the green light in the thread.

Probably take about 2 mang hours total.


I did all the heavy lifting already. enjoy

Just because a doctor takes a job at a gas station doesn’t take away the fact that he’s still a doctor.

You can take the doctor out of the gas station, but you can't take the gas station out of the doctor?

Just remember it's a small world so don't go burning bridges imo...... unless you're changing careers

I know, I won't burn bridges.

WANT TO, but won't.

You shouldn't. Interviewing sucks for both sides and it's expensive for the employer. The fact that they interviewed you should be treated as a compliment since they probably only interviewed a very small portion of their applicants.

Also, no matter how many you get under your belt, interviews really are invaluable in terms of experience imo.

This is me mostly sober ranting.

And grumbling cause I want out where I am mostly cause I feel like I'm going to have to wait 5 years and 3 retirements before I can get a promotion. The Pierce Co. job was a $20k a year increase and the SLC job is only $3k increase but the opportunity to start working as a Paralegal which a Grade 13 would be a $7k starting increase and the Grade 14 which I qualify for on paper is a $10k increase a year plus SLC is about a 11% DECREASE in COL compared to where I am now.

EDIT:
I'll add this Pierce Co. "denial" so to speak annoys me more cause I felt like I was a token interview. Will go into detail when I get back to my desk and have time. Let's just say I had a 3 person panel... of them, one seemed engaged, one didn't, and one openly laughed at something that I said when describing my current job that felt super SUPER unprofessional.

EDIT 2:
I'll go into more detail if anyone cares that is.

Some days I’d rather be working at a gas station. Those were simpler times.

Wait, I gotta pay $50?

Damn you, Pazuzu!

Damn you, Pazuzu!

I love how that episode starts. Always makes me laugh my ass off to the point I am almost in tears. ESPECIALLY when Farnsworth starts rattling off the different deities.

Can only subscribe to that. When I applied at the large strategy consultancy I worked for until two years ago, I had two interview rounds which were two weeks apart. In that timeframe, I had a horrible interview with a small firm where people would create a pretty hostile environment and put me on the spot with challenge questions etc. Wasn't prepared for that at all. The consultancy that hired me didn't do any of that bs, but I felt prepared for anything that might come my way by the time the second round came.

Yeah, I guess it does depend on the type of person you are. I wasn't a natural interviewer at all when I first got out of college and I had some awkward-as-fuck interviews. But after law school (which is basically a three-year gauntlet of formal and informal interviews) I became pretty solid.

That's why the movie American Beauty is so food

Time head back to the gas station, smoke mad weed and attempt statutory rape before some military fruitcake puts you out of your misery.

In Germany, we did have Aktion T-4, where being a doctor and working at a gas station became essentially syonymous.

I can picture your interviews already.....

East Germany?

East Germany?

They don't call petrol "gas" in Germany, they do however call gas "gas".

Seems like the less I've wanted the job being interviewed for the better it's gone. Guess I don't have that clutch gene.
