My current position doesn\'t utilize either of these capacities to their fullest extent, nor does it offer anywhere near fair compensation. [snip] Of course, you\'re wondering, \"Well, why won\'t you just lie to me?\" Well, to answer your astute query, I probably will. As a person who has hired others, I\'m sure that you realize that everyone who will request a position will lie to you.$

	Sunny Dissed Position. . . (User Submission!) Posted May 07 by Hiring Manager D. Filed Under: Foot in Mouth, Smarter Than Expected

Here is why Tim was not hired: The manager explained that spending 2 hours in the sun was like spending 20 minutes in a tanning bed. To which I, having never tanned before in my life, replied without batting an eye, “Oh, so it like microwaves you real quick.” Needless to say, the manager didn’t really like that remark, and I didn’t get the job.
