I am very charming at interviews and speak articulately – so no clue why I haven’t gotten at least 1 offer.
because out of state moonfaces with parental help are willing to do it all for next to nothing and employers will exploit that.
lie on your resume. change your name to Molly and say you just graduated school in Iowa and moved here last tuesday. i’m sure youll get a few offers, but for not much money..

Re recruiters, I totally agree with Cobble. The last guy wanted to meet me and I said “I am kind of like a waste of time for you guys”. He laughs. “Why?” “Because I am a freak”. “What?” I don’t fit into one box. I have done all kinds of job functions within my area. And they don’t even fully understand the industry. They are going to introduce me to people I already know. And they don’t know what box to put me in. Why even bother.
And for a younger person like you, Gem, they are tyrants.
Actually they are just looking for people to put in their portfolio to play games with. Be your own recruiter.
……in a small satellite office out in the suburbs to avoid a lawsuit. You are fifty-five years old.
Then you are done. You waddle your fat ass around your house for another two or three years until you die in your sleep of a heart attack from being so fat or from cancer from smoking. As your life passes before your eyes while you draw your last breath, you ask yourself what made your life worth living? Fortunately you expire before you realize the question was rhetorical. They have to bury you in a piano crate.
Slopey;
-Administration of EITC: I would advocate some type of quarterly pay-out, in tune with the IRS’ present timetable. Beneficieries would be responsible for making sure the pay-out stretches to the 3 months.
-Qualifying apartment. Eliminate this procedure. Why is it necessary? Let beneficieries be responsible for securing their own apartment.
You are correct. I am basically advocating for Nixon’s negative income tax. I think it was a damn good proposal, for several reasons:
-MOST important: maintains incentives for self-improvement. Work is rewarded. Higher earnings are rewarded.
-ALSO important: treats beneficiary as a responsible adult, who can look after their own affairs.
-Finally: reduces bureauacracy.
I haven’t watched the television since sometime in March. I want to break the TV but then I would be made to buy a new one.
