Todd's Job Hunting Tips

Do you remember your last job interview?  What were you wearing?  I'm sure you looked nice, put on your best smile, and spoke clearly when answering questions from your soon-to-be boss.

But even as this economy has slowed, even good, hard working people are out of work... After today, I'm wondering if there is something more to the unemployment rate than a lack of open jobs.  The radio station sponsored a job fair today and I was astounded at the appearance of a large number of the people 'looking' for a job.  So, for those who need help, I came up with some tips on helping you land a job.

1) Take a bath.

2) Do not wear the clothes you had on last night at the bar. Do not go to a bar before a job fair/interview.

3) Wear something that does not have your favorite team/wrestler/alcohol on it, or anything you wear BBQ'ing... or sweatpants with 'juicy' written on the rear.

4) You probably won't be interviewed by a company that does drug tests if you are wearing a marijuana leaf  around your neck.

5) Wear something that covers the name of your baby daddy you had tattooed across your boobs. 

6) If your cat slept/pissed on your clothes, wear something else.

7) Say something other than 'whaddya got for me'

8) Have a clue.

Obviously, most people already know these tips, because it's common sense!  Even the poorest of people in Haiti had one nice suit/outfit to wear to church.  I'm not saying you need a suit, but there is no excuse not to be somewhat presentable when trying to find a job.  Easily more than half of the applicants from today's job fair were not.  Laziness!  ..and possibly a big cause of the nation's unemployment... nobody wants to hire a slob!
