sucking dick. - BullHunter, on 01/14/2009, -0/+25Body paint would get more attention, I think
- Spoomeister, on 01/15/2009, -1/+23This article is basically advising people to be freaks or stalkers.
They deserve whatever employer would hire them.
If you want to stand out in a crowd of applicants:
a) have relevant experience or training for a specific industry in a region of the country where that job is in demand
b) do all the little things right, such as spellchecking the application, submitting it in the format and guidelines set out by the employer, dress appropriately for the interview, and don't sound like a thundering moron
You'd be amazed how rare those things are when you're looking through a pile of resumes and/or interviewing a bunch of people one after another. I've been a hiring manager before. Normal people, who are prepared for the interview, are a decent fit for the job, and who conduct themselves professionally, are a breath of fresh air after having to pass over so many other people who were really wasting their time.
The people who put resumes on their shirts stand out... in a bad way, as an amusing anecdote for the employers to tell coworkers and friends about while having a beer later. The people who actually behave like responsible, skilled adults, get hired eventually. - Spoomeister, on 01/15/2009, -0/+17So use 2 coats of paint.

best way to get a job - ophello, on 01/15/2009, -3/+12Going to extreme hand job? What? I wasn't listening.

- kakwakas, on 01/15/2009, -1/+9DEY TOOK OUR JERBS!!!
- Rustymetal, on 01/15/2009, -1/+8I think its because she is a "Private Nurse", and instead of actually working at a hospital and having real responsibility to do things right, she want' t take care of rich old dudes that will leave her money when they die.
edit, after looking at her site...
Sje advertises herself as a... "R.N./Household Manager" LOL Yeah I was right. She want's to get paid a nurse salary for doing housekeeping. - yardie, on 01/15/2009, -1/+7One time I was working as a contractor and they had the same position open but for a permanent seat. My manager told me he couldn't hire me directly, it had to be done through HR. He did let me write the requirements and go through the motions. So I sent the job requirements and my CV down to HR. The job writeup was basically a copy of my CV with 'needs to know' at the beginning of every paragraph. This was just a formality and any minute I expected an email saying we have the perfect candidate, you.
These ***** sent every CV that matched maybe one or two requirements and not one of them was my CV. My manager called HR directly and they had my file but didn't know why they didn't send it. A few months later, I asked a friend that works near that department what was going on. He told me it was a lot of foreign students working in HR and they were constantly trying to hookup their buddies on the same type of visas with jobs. If I didn't already have someone requesting me by name my CV would have went straight to the bin. - jmantra, on 01/15/2009, -0/+6my dad once gave me the best advice ever for when you're unemployed and looking for a job, you're "full time job" should be finding a job.If you treat your job search as a full time job, you increase your chances of a landing job much sooner.
- tullyr, on 01/15/2009, -1/+7My penis is bigger than both of yours. Size of baseball bat.
The economy is made of gnomes. It's all gnomes. - inactive, on 01/15/2009, -0/+5I just show up high and hit on both the men and women... I also lovingly caress any plant I walk by while in the presence of any potential employer....
I've been out of work for a while......... - Nemon, on 01/15/2009, -0/+5Who has time to read a resume on a shirt?
- Barackalypse, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4The Subway near my house has been perpetually hiring for the last 5 years at a starting wage of $7.50 an hour, no experience or college necessary.
- kakwakas, on 01/15/2009, -2/+6It's a UK/AU thing, actually.
- theword12, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4She owns forhire.com? That's got to be worth something...
- T00LB0X, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4I'm a 25 yr old male looking for a job...that said I plan on wearing makeup to my interviews. Not in a cross-dress kind of way but instead to cover up some things.
Being stupid in high school got me a few permanent crater looking spots on my cheeks from picking at acne. (bad nervous habit)
I saw this special on TV where they did this with males and females...it talked about people with the same credentials were less likely to get hired if they looked uglier than their counterparts.
Really I'm not that bad off and you gotta try to see my cheek flaws...I've seen people with much worse but I figure it can't hurt. Tonight when the local news comes on I'm paying close attention to where the news anchors go to get their makeup (they gotta look good for them HD cameras). - DouglasQ, on 01/15/2009, -4/+8A friend of mine once failed to get a job cos at the bottom of the application form where it says 'Sign' she wrote 'Aquarius'
- leetninja, on 01/15/2009, -1/+4i air dropped pamphlets over Gaza ... i have a few interviews lined up ...
was that insensitive? - SniperGX1, on 01/15/2009, -3/+6cos = because? Did you go to California public schools? heh
- oveedrx, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Saskatchewan FTW!!
- inactive, on 01/15/2009, -3/+6Come to Canada. Lots of jobs here. Saskatoon, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton - take your pick. As a bonus, you can just come and drop off a resume. You don't have to act like a douche bag to get a job.
- Residents, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Send a bottle of bubbly to the big guy.... That's almost definitely going to work from what I could imagine. Unless you somehow do it in bad taste or you send a box of Franzia.

"Some of us are on mobile devices and it makes it faster/easier for us to get our point across but it works either way so I use it even when I'm on my regular computer so do a lot of people so get used to it."
I believe that it is a run on sentence. - thcobbs, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Don't forget to sand down the filler first.
- Swivelstick, on 01/15/2009, -1/+4Trades jobs do really reflect what the economy at large is doing. Always have and always will..
Fixed that for you DarthDiabetes, btw what does that mean exactly? You have a breathing disorder and are also prone to gangrene?
- yardie, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3No you dimwit, it was pure unadulterated nepotism. And it goes on a lot more than people would like to realize.
- presidentraygun, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Local paper said that there was a job opening for a plant manager that had 120 applications in the first hour. Things are getting rough.
- Barackalypse, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2I've found simply calling the HR manager at home during dinner and asking if they'd prefer to schedule an interview at work or if it would be better if I pick their kids up from school and we discuss my employment over dinner when they arrive home is very effective.
- dpmcalli, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2"With more than three job seekers for every opening" - Thats not really that bad. Ive job interview Ive had has had more than three people wanting the same position.
- Jams, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Reminds me of this idiot. "Impossible is nothing" : http://www.metacafe.com/watch/268703/impossible_is ...
- Rioracer916, on 01/15/2009, -1/+3Yeah, I was thinking that. If nurses can't find jobs, then the economy is MUCH worse than anyone ever imagined.
It sucks that accounting has been hit by the economy. We'll see if my Big 4 experience means anything in this economy. - r0t8, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2rhetorical question: why is it that ~50% of the top 10 digg headlines are typically about economic issues?
- EmailAddress, on 01/15/2009, -1/+3One must wonder if Obama brings the troops home... where will they work?
Many will not find work and their lives will suck. So you'll have trained soldiers of war who are angry because they can't take care of their family, people they love, because of no job.
They may therefore be inclined to 'take action' against the government. Thus soldiers cannot return home. - Swivelstick, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Where? Hell??
- Sillywombat, on 01/15/2009, -1/+3Going to extremes for a hand job?
- jdelph, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Funny what people do for a job. This guy had his resume printed on a t-shirt. And it worked for him:

Hamburger "manufacturer" - RedRummy, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2come did that?
- inactive, on 01/15/2009, -2/+4but the messiah will soon be in office. Won't those jobs be in decline?
- schmuckguy, on 01/16/2009, -0/+2Try http://www.barackobamajobs.com
- T00LB0X, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2I considered that but after some thought I decided against it figuring that a professional could make it look more natural
I mean I don't want to broadcast the fact that I'm wearing makeup or anything like that. - AudioLoveMagic, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2If I wanted to humiliate myself for money, I'd go on a reality show or become an auditioning actor.
What a wonderful world. - ElementsOfDance, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2That's what I saw at the corner of my eye, but I obviously misread it.
