Plumbing? Whatever, I'd still get the position snatched away by buzzword fiends who say they're dynamic and flexible and whatever else crap they spout on these forms. Not to mention the brazen liars who say their hobbies include parachuting, windsurfing and potholing just to look interesting.

 :lol: Too true!

Reminds me of Personal Ads. "Enjoys fine dining, walks on the beach, camping, horseback riding"

What do you actually know about someone once you filter out the trendy "spice it up" cliches everyone includes?

Well, another promising placement turned down without even requesting an interview. The most promising in a long while in fact. It only took them a day to refuse it.

Funny how your home changes from a castle to a prison when you've been unemployed for a long time. This is really, really starting to get me down.

Come to North Carolina, plenty of jobs here, despite what you hear. (unless you're looking for an IT job.) Hell, you could walk right in to one of our evil Pharmecuitical companies and be working tomorrow. ;-)

(Then we can work on converting you into a moneygrubbing Republican ;-))
