The Top 15 Job-Hunting Tips


15> Don't mention you only want the job to hold you over until
that Nigerian businessman's estate sends you your $27 million.

14> Writing "no permanent address" on the application form might
be counter-productive.

13> First impressions matter! Offer the recruiter a sip from your
juice box.

12> It's still considered bad form to list your parole officer or
bail bondsman as a personal reference.

11> Since most female executives are a little insecure, they
appreciate compliments on their breasts -- particularly if
you use really, really big words you learned in your online
college courses.

10> Never go job hunting with Dick Cheney.

9> Do not write your cover letter using a #2 pencil. Or a pointy
stick with #2 on the end of it.

8> Ixnay on the igpay atinlay, Esterchay.

7> During first interviews, limit usage of the phrase "So long
as Daddy gets his taste."

6> On a resume, it's considered poor form to mention the javelin
stuck in your back. However, before the interview, go ahead
and inquire about the dimensions of the elevators.

5> Speaking Klingon does not make you multilingual, geekboy.

4> During the interview, it's a good idea not to show *too* much
interest in the details of the drug testing program.

3> Don't show off your research by naming all the employees you
consider doable.

2> Leave your interviewer a thank-you card with a small gift
enclosed, such as a wallet-sized rectangular portrait of
Benjamin Franklin.


and the Number 1 Job-Hunting Tip...


1> Can't find a job opening? Meet people who have the kind
of job you want, then kill one.
