Job Seekers From the Past
Julius Caesar: Jesse James: Marie Antoinette: Joseph Guillotin: Hamlet: Lucrezia Borgia: Pandora: Genghis Khan: Macbeth: Lady Godiva: Elvis:
My last job involved a lot of office politics and back stabbing. I'd like to get away from all that.
I can list among my experiences and skills: leadership, extensive travel, logistical organization, intimate understanding of firearms, and a knowledge of sescurity measures at numerous banks.
My management style has been criticzed, but I'd like to think of myself as a people person.
I can give your company a head start on the competition.
My position was eliminated in a hostsile takeover.
My greatest accomplishment? After I took over the department, our competition just seemed to drop out of sight one by one.
I can bring a lot to your company. I like discovering new things.
My primary talent is downsizing. On my last job I downsized my staff, my organization, and the populations of several countries.
Would I go after my boss's job? Do I look like the kind of guy who would knock of his boss for a promotion?
What do you mean this isn't business casual?
My last boss and I...say, are you going to eat those fries?
