And all of them would be superimposed over the main photo of him from 40 Year Old Virgin.

Ok, what the ever loving fuck is up with all these women running off to join ISIS as brides? Are these just unusually handsome terrorists or something? I mean, westerners going off to join terrorist organizations isn't a new phenomena but usually it seems to be due to some deep seated connection with the cause.

Maybe this is some sort of meta tribute? Like they snubbed her and then issued a lame justification because they'd know that Joan would approve of the sheer bitchiness of it?

*ba dum TSSH!*

I feel like Bad Things About Steve Carrell could be a meme...

Bad things about Steve Carrell: he once gently kicked a puppy by accident and only cried for 30 minutes afterwards.

I'll say this: Cosby's stand up could be funny. I still love the bit about his mom losing her shit and beating her kids with a yard stick she wielded like a sword. It resonates. Or the other bit from 'Himself' where he talks about farting and the kids looking under the chair for an invisible elephant. Its funny.

It's settled then... shake hands and leave as enemies?

Again, I don't think she is equating the situation of being a bridal shop customer with being a victim. She's saying, in essense, here is this skill that I have that I believe would make me an effective advocate, here is how and where I got that skill. To wit, it'd be like a person applying to be a surgeon noting how…

I'm just going to have to whole heartedly disagree with you that to make any comparison between her skills as a bridal shop attendant and as a potential victim advocate amounts to a whole-sale conflation of 'bridal dress customer' and 'abuse victim'. I just do not see it in any way. A comparison notes similarities…

And I'd just like to add that you seem to be describing a 'in a perfect world' scenario where people look at a persons academic credentials, weight them carefully, and then make the best decision based on them. What I, and a lot of other posters, have been saying is that we don't live in a perfect world and that often…

I get what you're saying but I just don't think that this was exactly 'padding' her cv. If she'd listed this job under her actual experience then I'd say you have a point, but my point is that we're not really talking about the body of her CV. We're talking about her cover letter which is widely regarded as an…

Yeah, I sometimes feel that the vast majority of jobs and college career advice out there is specifically geared only for people in and around major metro areas (and if we're really being honest major cities like NY, Chicago and LA where a lot of major companies are headquartered). There's a paucity of practical…

I've actually taught high school and preschool so I know where you're coming from, however, if I was an interviewer and she simply put "I'm good with people, I deal well with stress, I work well with deadlines" my first question would be "In what context are you talking about? What job did you do that you honed these…

How is explaining that the article literally states that she has an education background in criminal justice an excuse?

Generally speaking? The people who are disagreeing with me about this cover letter being tone-deaf. Because I believe that people are deliberately misreading what she is saying in the letter.

That kinda blows. And I say this as someone who attended a college that is in a fairly rural area, where there aren't tons of local opportunities for jobs or internships (of either the paid or unpaid variety) in pretty much most degree fields. So, either you take whatever summer job you can get to keep your rent and…

I never specifically said social work, but to answer your question here is a quote from the article:

A couple points:

Since you've got experience as a recruiter maybe you can shed some light on this (what appears to be) relatively recent trend to want every entry level candidate to have tons of experience. Like, what the hell man? Has the American workforce completely given up on the idea of on the job training? And what about people…
