Did you at least wear a tie? |
Yeah and I just talked to him again a few days ago. Said he was out in Cali and wants to hire me. Will call me next week. I'm also interviewing next Tuesday for a gig as a detention officer at our local sheriff's department. |

| Got a big interview tomorrow with a Korean manager at Kia Motors here in Georgia. I'm applying for a supervisor position of the janitorial staff. A friend of my wife in her Korean church connected me with this guy. My wife says it's a Korean custom to wear a tie during the interview. I think this is probably true, but normally, I just wear dress pants and a tucked in polo for interviews. Anyone ever hear this about Korean job interviews? |
This is the best job you can go for at the moment? |

He told me about the salary during the interview and it makes a good bit more than teaching ESL considering the current conversion rate. That is only for the first two months as well. He said if I do good during the 2 month 'testing period', my salary will be near $3,000 a month. Not too bad at all for an entry level job in this economy. Also said I will have potential to move up the corporate ladder once the new branch in Atlanta is established. |

Yes... the local sheriff will say "Ken, give me the keys... I see Bigfoot in the cell with a Buddhist monk... you should sell them some insurance." |

Yes, they send me to detention officer school in another city...at least that's what the front desk workers told me. Had my interview...went pretty good. Because of my former newspaper job, I already know the sheriff and listed the city manager as one of my references. Also wrote an article about a year ago about the guy who interviewed me ironically enough. This one should be in the bag.  |

| I used to work as a janitor at Dofasco steel in Hamilton. I worked with the walking wounded mostly Italians and Yugoslavian. The job was dead easy. Some of these old guys used to get really upset if you didn't wash the mop. |

Well, I never got those jobs. But am about to secure a news reporting position at a big paper. So I guess everything works out for a reason. My journalism degree is about to be put to good use. |

I worked at Dofasco for a couple years...
I worked in the testing labs...great job... didn't wanna stay though... thought I'd become a lifer and that wasn't what I wanted. |

Remember: Once a teacher always a teacher. Hold that chin of yours high, and teach all those ignorant Americans that they are not the center of the universe anymore. You posses some worldly experiences, and so don�t let it go to waste whatever you do. Good luck and keep hitting that pavement. Something will unfold for you sooner or later.  |
