People ask to me respond to what they think.
I give them a straight answer and a truth as I see it. Then I hear chirping and I am made to ask is the conversation over. I am again the only left in the room talking. Why did you ask me my opinion, are you one of the kind that like to hear there own voice?
email has become a joke when it comes to finding work. I can line up my resume with all the flattering things about myself and still recieve a silence that makes me sick. Didn't you say you wanted some one with a BA in arts and a masters is lies, I presented that you whole sale in one try and the only thing you have to say is, "We will call you in a week if the postiton remains open." A laymens terms, "No need to reapply, the postion was filled by that last guy who comfirmed he would do every little thing we said and not ask to be paid."
There are three lines that are presented in the virtual world that have always led to naught and not a single encouraged promotion, "ASL," Then it is wondered why cat-fishing became the new norm. You ask someone how old they are, where they are from, and there gender placement in life. All of this is really personal stuff and you think this person on the other line has good intentions for me because they are seeking to get to know me. Slam down the digits and let it slip where in the world they can find you and probabaly seek services you aught to get paid for. 'A,S,L"
Set up the meeting and when no one shows you are made to feel worse than the woman that could land a date from E-harmony because she was not what you picture was selling.
Now for someone like me to not land what I am looking for because the person bailed is just down right insulting.
I will share in next weeks post the rest of that story...I'll entitle it Liberated Woman vs Liberated Man and the interactions between two primadannas at Starbucks.
The introdcution is much the same, It will begin with the question ASL? and end with the man asking what was the point of me sharing all of that information if you are not even going to respond because you are too busy or never cared in the first place.
Why did I waste my time sharing my whole portfolio if you were just going to smile and pat me on the cheek and tempt me to come back next week?
Then when I come back I am seen as the one that is desprate for attention when all I was doing was answering your question. I was generally interested and thought something more would come of it. Instead now I am looking at all these crazy stories from the newspaper and made to ask if I was ever seen as a creep like Snowden because I was going around looking for a promotion.
Can you imagine they just named an APP program after him?
