Dig Yourself a Hole When Job Searching

How Not to Find a Job. Sign me up to read this, because it sounds so beneficial.

Actually, it really is.

There are a bunch of good tips in the article, and I especially like the one about keeping your story straight with interviewers. I'm not sure why you would lie to different interviewers in the same company. You know that when they pick candidates for their open positions that they sit in the basement of the office with some cheap beer, flash your picture up on the wall with an old projector, and all talk about you (Animal House reference, anyone?) until a decision is made. I guess you could be under pressure and feel like you're losing the interview so you start lying, but that doesn't sound like a wise thing to do. So, other than the "keeping your story straight" tip o' job searching goodness, it's a pretty resourceful article.

Crazy old bag. Keep your story straight? I'm just trying to get a job, not acquitted of some bogus charge in the court of law.
