My (now-ex, obv.) boyfriend arrived at my house one day after I'd just gotten my hair cut. He said "you look so good, I thought maybe I'd walked in to the wrong house!"

I hate this question. It puts the interviewee in an almost impossible position. But it opens the way for you to ask what the worst thing about working there is :)

I was taught by my university's co-op / job placement office to answer the question honestly with a real weakness, but add what steps you're taking to address that weakness.

If you think for one minute these institutions are friendly to anyone who was any kind of an outsider in their previous life, much less within their family, then I have a transatlantic highway in Poughkeepsie I've been trying to offload for a while now. Living up to the standards outlined above as "crucial" requires…

In Brazil women get French fuckin' pedicures! :'( And they always wear awful cork wedges that are bit too small so the toes really hang over, with the awful pedicure on show.

ALL THESE SPARSE EYEBROWS ARE RUINING EVERYTHING

I'm only surprised she didn't specify nail length. I feel a deep hunger to pay one of the girls to get 5-inch monster-claw french tips, because I believe in obeying the letter of the law always and the spirit of the law never.

Oh god, fucking French tips. I live on Long Island and when you want to look REAL CLASSY, your first move is the French tip. Think Long Island Medium!! Apparently no one understands that short, neat nails are like, perfect and apprope in any setting.

The fact that these girls don't know that French manicures are now thought tacky makes me question the whole Panhellenic system.

You arrive at college. You have been ripped away from all of your support systems at home. Maybe you didn't have much of a support system at home. You are confused and lonely and wobbly and excited and don't even know where your feet are.

I know right, convenience food is sacrificing health and price for ease of access. If you spend an hour a day cooking, and an hour a day procuring groceries, you can make as much food as you'd like for MUCH cheaper. It's a weird entitlement thing with some people who treat people in the service industry as though they…

Bill Gates got rich because of technical acumen and a strong sensibility for accessibility, as well as the prevailing market trends and social landscape of the 90's.

I've known a lot of miserly people in business who tip very little. They do not now suddenly have massive wealth through their penny-pinching.

wasn't a 15 dollar pizza, it was 43. It wasn't a 10 dollar tip it was 7. It wasn't a 67% tip it was 17% which sounds about normal.

Plus, stiffing the driver on a tip makes the entire business look bad.

Bill Gates' father is a name partner at one of the biggest firms in Seattle and has been for many years. The family already had money, which it invested in DOS. Not to mention our state university donated time with their computer lab, which allowed them to build the DOS operating system. The state essentially gave…

Saving $5 here and there has absolutely nothing to do with how Bill Gates got rich.

I looked at a car there last month and regretted it. Super bro-y. The salesman kept disappearing, leaving me waiting at the desk for at least five minutes at a time, even when I just asked for a business card. He and his manager tried every trick in the book to keep from giving me a price. I eventually gave them a…

Pizza guy.

you know that feeling, when you're scrolling through your channels, when you feel like there just isn't anything on? that's because there never is. there is never anything on. you are paying for garbage. turn it off. every time. even if your internet charges go up.
