Good stuff!
Yes it is!
More good stuff from the king of FABO!
I wish I could add but I'm mad as hell and could piss fire right now. Over 125 resumes out and still no job. I've had multiple phone and face to face interviews in the last 6 months and all I get is the same letter/e-mail. "Your skills and resume are quite impressive but we've received *** number of applications and found someone else more qualified for the position." :bootysha::bootysha:
AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! I've come to watch people driving down the street and think "Where do they work? Who do they know? How did they afford that car?" It's depressing as hell.
Hey KP, story of my life!! LOL!!!"No person who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives is left long without proper reward. "

I've come to the conclusion that a lot of that "we've found someone more qualified for the position" means they've found someone to do it cheaper. I just applied to a used car lot here who was looking for someone to do it all. Body work and tech work. Let's see, 15 years doing collision, last 5 doing straight wrench and driveability work. Good luck finding someone in this area who can fill that position with the experience I have. But when they saw the "salary" filled out in the application and saw the money I was making at the Ford dealerships, hourly flat rate, and hourly with flate rate bonus at the last one, they balked, even with their ad saying they'd go higher than that for the right candidate. Sssssuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeee.
Hey KP, story of my life!! LOL!!!
No good deed will go unpunished!! HAHHHAAHHHHAaaaa!!!!!
Godd Stuff!!
Funny, I thought the same quote when I saw this thread, lol.
