3 Tips for Job Hunters

Some basic elementary tips

1.  Sell yourself, WELL.   
Question- What did you decide to apply here?  What attracted you to the job?
If your only answer is 'I'm available to work.' That's not a good selling point!  You and the other 10% of Americans!  Also, I KNOW you're available to work, I hope that's why you're applying.  People who aren't looking for work, generally don't apply for jobs for fun.

2.  Most employers don't hire on locational favoritism.  Telling me you live 'right down the road' 3 times on your application doesn't really tell me anything about you.  I can't hire you because 'you live right down the road.'

3.  Please please please make all your answers relevant to the question. 
Question- Why do you think you're a good fit?  How will you be an asset here?  
I am well know(n) for my cakes and there is always a demand for my cakes.  Would you like for me to make you a cake?
*Pulls out hair!!!!!!! * Calms down and sighs*  Well then.  If you can make cake you're surely hired.  Except I DON'T SERVE CAKE HERE.  EVER!!!

Bonus tip- don't try to bribe your future employer with cake anything.

Author's Note- about an hour after I wrote this post, I felt convicted.  Although my intent was for this post was to be funny, I realized that it's hardly gracious or edifying.  In fact, it's close to judgmental with a holier than thou twist.  It's not God glorifying or seasoned with salt.  For that, I apologize dear readers.  If you wanted to read posts like this, then I know of several blogs that thrive on this kind of material.  I don't want to be one of them.  I've decided that I'm gonna leave it up anyway.  That way, you and I can both see and learn from my mistake.  If I just delete it, it would be as if it never happened.  How will that help you or me? 

Thank you for reading me dear friends.
