-- They tell you that C++ isn't good enough for their clients ... would you
let them know when you achieve a B- ?

-- When they see "Languages: FORTRAN" on your resume, they ask you about
the current political situation in Fortronia

-- ... you don't want to know what they say when they see "COBOL"

-- They reject you based on your aura

-- The interview consists of questions about Tombraider cheat codes

-- ... so do the phone calls, except for the ones involving heavy breathing,
unless they're from Billy-Bob, the guy with the weird cowlick in his left
eyebrow

-- When they see "FrameMaker" on your resume, they ask if you can recommend
a good portrait painter

-- The recruiter's laptop looks suspiciously like an Etch A Sketch

-- The agency's business card is the Three of Pentacles

-- Three words: Sequinned Tube Top

Signs that it might be Friday :>

Cheers ... Kim
