the job market escape room!

almost 10 years workin here but peek my head out every once in a while to see what the job market looks like.

The whole process has gotten even more ridiculous - it's a facade of efficiency. How in the world does anyone set themselves apart enough to even be found in a digital black hole of information?

I read an article about a book store that, as part of the interview process, prospective employees take a quiz to match book titles to authors. It's a book store!  That makes sense!

I'm not sure how you can apply that logic in the business world. How do you quiz superiority complex and ineptitude?

I think even a "senior" person should be interviewed, and as a next level,
(to get away from canned responses)
they should go through "escape room" scenarios to determine their real personalities and how it would fit in the company.

that would be fun!!!

Not sure how well I'd do though - i took a test that determines masculinity/femininity and apparently I have many more masculine tendencies - HA!

Not in book reading though! - my historical romance run continues - just finished TA Warren's - My Fair Mistress - saw it coming a mile away, the months of avoidance was a little much but a good getaway book regardless.

oh and speaking of "getting lost in a black hole" - can't stop clicking on this link for people in Louisiana looking for their family -

See this is a great way to utilize the internet! This helps people - why aren't more news feeds talking about it I wonder? Are they just distracted with the olympics and the election?

and so we Uncle Tupelo - the Macon Greyson version
Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, and down
Still aware of everything life carries on without
'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles
Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while

A long way from happiness
In a three hour away town
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now

There's a trouble around, it's never far away
The same trouble's been around for a life and a day
I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay
The sound of people chasing money and money getting away

A long way from happiness
In a three hour away town
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
