PRO TIP # 6

When you receive a call about your resume, which you completely forgot you sent 10 minutes earlier (because, presumably, you have Momento style amnesia) the best thing to do is to act as rude as possible, and then hang up.

Sure fire way to launch a career.

Pro Tip # 5:

It is never a good idea to fully read a job posting, or ever accurately answer the question: "Which position are you applying for?"

It is highly advisable to instead mention what position you imagine would be your favorite job.

Regardless of what the company is actually looking for, you are likely to get your perfect job just by mentioning it.

There are no dumb questions...

So I always tell candidates to let me know if they have any questions.  Generally these questions make sense.

This questions is a first.

"I just have one question. What room is the interview in ?*"

I just... what?  Why is this question?

It is also worth noting that my email signature is complete with our office's address and suite number.
