Earlier tonight, I recalled a job offer that I turned down and decided to write about it. Back in 1998, I felt I was being underpaid for what I was doing at The Monster Board / TMP Worldwide (soon to become Monster.com) and had started looking for other job opportunities. A former Monster Board co-worker, […]

This list strikes me as 95% stupidity.
Read More I work for these people?!I got the official job offer from Monster.com today. They’re going to mail me an offer in the mail that I’ll need to sign and return, but as of today I’m officially hired! I start Monday. [starts singing the “I’m Hired” song from MST3K] Now that I’ll have money (or at least the promise of […]

I hope not since I really want to be on a jury and do my part for truth, justice, and the American way. In other […]

Read More On vacation? Until NEXT WEEK?!So the interview at Monster.com went well. Considering that part of the interview was with Christine (aka “Mia”) and her co-workers and I was one of the people who interviewed her when she applied to The Monster Board four years ago, I guess that was to be expected. She was asking loaded questions just to […]
Read More Job doing jobs for a job boardI went up to Maine this past weekend. Apparently nobody knew I was going since they were all surprised to see me. I guess nobody listened when I said I was going to go back on Friday or Saturday. I had a phone interview with Monster.com yesterday. It wasn’t really an “interview” though since I’ve […]
