How Not To Land A Job

Welcome to my world of phone interviews.  It goes a little something like this: 

“So STELLA, what are you looking for?”

“Well, I’m looking for something a little more up my alley, ya know”

“Ahh, yes.  I see.  And what exactly is ‘up your alley’?”

“Something more creative.  Yeah.”

“Right.  Okay.  Tell me a little bit more about that.”

“You know, something that lets me be more creative.  Like with layout, and colors, and writing, and stuff.”

“Alllllllllright.”

“Oh, and something that pays lots of money!  I want to be a manager.  But not a manager of people.  More like, a manager of information...yeah.  I want creative control and lots of money.  I got skills and qualifications.  I’m a communicator.  I have a blog. My wedding was in Modern Bride?  I knit real good. I want babies.”

“Well that’s just GRIIIIITE Stella.  We will review your information and get back to you when we are closer to a decision.  THANKS!”

Are you seeing my dilemma?
