I was establishing a network contact today. It is a stretch in that I am trying to go to a 4th degree.
My 1st degree knows his 1st degree ( my 2nd) knows someone (my 1st 2nd and his 1st 1st) at a company that I am interested in. Did you follow all that?
So my 1st send me a note about the introduction to his 1st about his 2nd. Then he tells me to be patient.
Here is the funny part;
I reply that I learned patience from my volunteer work performing underwater recovery.
He replies, “That’s funny it is a trait that I was born with”
I reply, ” Then I guess I have a weakness to talk about in an interview”

Okay! since I am loosing my mind about loosing my last 2 extensions my mind has warped!
So I am thinking about misleading job postings. You know the ones that get you excited them let you down.
For example here is the title of the job: Engagement Manager or even Sr. Engagement Manager
For us who know what that is it is a really good job and position.
Now here is the company: E-Harmony.com
Now just think of your own ad here! It could be hilarious!
Responsible for ensuring that our matches based on 39 points of compatibility get engaged to boost our standings in the matchmaking industry. Allowing us to grow market share and put Match.com out of business.

I found your blog through one of your LinkedIn posts regarding age discrimination (currently @ 700 posts over 2 months). As a 47 yr old too-much experience too-little-education guy I have enjoyed reading what you’ve written and find I relate to a good majority of it. As I read it and others of the same flavor it makes me think of my own Dad and the values and work ethic he instilled in me since birth. Keep up the good work!!!
