  GETTING RICH WORKING FOR FREE Hi, let me introduce myself: my name is Wilmer Edricson, and I'll be taking over this website. I saw my opportunity after the departure of Kotow Shergar, who was short-sighted to give up a job working for free. Working for free is often more lucrative than working for pay, since it gives you a chance to sue your employer for unpaid wages. ____________________________________________ Here are a few reasons suing is better than working for a straight paycheck: 1) You Can Get More Work. before hiring you for a job Employers usually consider factors like how much money they can afford ...

  Permalink: Good Bye to Kotow Shergar Another Career Made at Our Expense, Landing a "Job", Misleading BS | (0)

  GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE From: Len Bakerloo To: Kotow Shergar Kotow Dearest, I'm pissed at you, so don't think I am using "dearest" in any way other than that intended by Christina Crawford when referring to her mother, Joan, in her memoir, Mommy Dearest. (Never mind that Christina's younger sister, Cindy, said the memoir was a fabrication... that is beside the point.) How dare you leave us just because someone is willing to "pay" you "money." Have you no principles? Don't you see this for what it is, a bribe, pure and simple? Have you done any research on this new "employer" of yours? ...

  HOW TO INTERVIEW FOR ANY JOB, OTHER THAN AS A REPORTER   I'm going to write briefly on an article I found on No Shortage of Work, which has no shortage of terrible advice on job-searching. Case in point is this article on How to Interview in which No Shortage of Work Grand Swindler Brooke Allen argues that you should "interview like a reporter." I'm not sure what you are supposed to gain by emulating low-level employees in a profession that never made much money to begin with and has been in a steady decline over the last two decades, but it sure ...

  The Graduate-Proof Recession Misleading BS | (3)

  THE GRADUATE-PROOF RECESSION Charlie Hoehn wrote an e-book called “The Recession-Proof Graduate” that he published online for free. He claims to explain how a recent college graduate can become recession-proof and get a job even in tough economic times.  I didn’t read it, and neither should you. It’s bullshit. [caption id="attachment_51" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Working for Free Leads to a Job? Good luck with that!"][/caption] It’s hard to get a job in this recession - that’s why you’re on this site. Millions of people are out of jobs, and you’re one of them. Even if you’re a graduate of one of the top ...
