Top 10 Ways Job Hunting is Like Dating
- You are really eager and excited.
- You get a hair cut, new clothes, new shoes, whatever to look your best.
- You practice what you will say.
- The whole time you are together you try to be a good listener but you are thinking about what you are saying, your posture, your breath, and their body language.
- A really nice environment makes things smoother. A dump makes you want to run away.
- All your friends and family bug you afterwards about how it went and you have to repeat the story in detail ad infinitum.
- You always have butterflies in your stomach before and after the meeting.
- You always think you really connected.
- You’ll always remember something that you think sounded horrible just before you drift off to sleep – and that will keep you up all night.
