It is common knowledge that we learn in lists (Here are the three things you need to remember, Johnny) or in nursery-type rhymes (30 days hath September…50 years later and I still USE that one).
Since so many of the bloggers you read use lists, including yours truly. I thought I would take a few minutes to create some new rhymes for you. Ten of them.
1. How To Get the Interview
Network and ask,
Network and ask,
Then bask.
2. First Day on the Job
Pay attention, smile.
At lunch, go;
Bitch sessions, don’t go.
Open your mouth, no.
But have fun, yo.
3. On Saving Money When Unemployed
Coffee is ok at Pantry Pride,
Gas is pricey, lose the ride,
Cancel package of NFL,
It’ll all be well.
4. How To Search for a New Job
Don’t go where everyone goes,
A Big job board blows,
Check out their career portal,
Or stand on the corner,
and yodel.
5. What Not to Say
Last company sucked,
Systems I bucked,
I want your job,
May I call you Bob?
6. Big Questions
Tell me ’bout You?
What happened, this year or two?
For us, got a skill?
Are you ready for a thrill?
7. Not Going to Happen
Pay me not to work,
My middle name is Shirk,
We should make a rule,
That those who already have a job,
Can’t be cruel.
8. Advice-Givers
You’re not my Dad,
His advice is always Bad,
Well, most.
He did get smarter,
When I got older.
9. Can’t Get a Job
But I am charismatic,
Only a slight asthmatic,
I like my iron.
10. Job Searching
What I do is,
Send out 100 resumes a day,
Only by email,
Saving money here,
Got a beer?
Ed. Note: Hat tip to TheCynicalGirl for reminding me of this, this morning. Number one on my list: Steal Ideas from others.
