I had an Artist friend who really didn't want to work, and had a sure-fire way of wrecking the compulsory job interviews that the employment agency sent him to... Here is his 4-point plan for wrecking a job interview; 1. have a few beers before interview 2. bare feet (the deal clincher!) 3. swear a lot 4. be REALLY enthusiastic about how much you want the job Apparently it worked really well, they always sent him away with a "nice guy who really wants to work but not quite suitable for this position" note so he could keep getting benefits. He got turned down for even the lowliest labouring jobs and is still not working... For some reason. Personally I wouldn't work for someone again unless they offer me lots of power and flexibility, very few hours, and an absolute shitload of money. :o) -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
