What day of the week are you most likely to get a job?

Applying for jobs can be stressful, especially if you’re sending out resume after resume, cover letter after cover letter, and not getting any nibbles of interest back.

You’ve reviewed your resume. You’ve rewritten your cover letter countless times.  You’ve rehearsed your elevator speech in front of the mirror until you’re blue in the face.  But you’re still not getting any leads back from the applications you’ve put in.

Maybe there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your paperwork.  Maybe all that’s wrong is the way you’re going about applying for jobs in the first place.

Casinos earn 50% of their revenue from just 3% of their customers

Do you consider yourself a gambler?

Some people enjoy heading out to Las Vegas or their local casino area, partaking in some fine dining, a show or two, and maybe take a chance at the tables or slot machines.  For some, that gambling portion of their trip can be an exciting time (check out any craps table around 11pm) or something a bit more depressing (any keno lounge at 3am).

The reasons that people enjoy gambling run almost hand in hand with the reasons that others absolutely despise gambling.  To the latter group, the issue is often “why bother throwing money away? Nobody ever wins.”

And for the most part, they’re right.  Casinos exist solely because the “house always wins”.  If they didn’t, then casinos wouldn’t exist at all. Gambling is a business, and if a business can’t make a profit somewhere along the line, it would cease to exist.

Where does the wind blow across the US?

What’s the one topic of conversation that you can always have with a stranger that you can have with your parents?

“HOW’S THE WEATHER?” (or variations to that effect)  It’s too warm, cold, wet, dry.

Everyone has an opinion on the weather, what it should be and what it was.  It effects pretty much everybody in some manner.

Worst argument for working in an office vs telecommuting, ever

Some people are lucky enough to WORK FROM HOME.  They think that just because they’re home all day, that really is like a vacation day and they can spend the entire time running errands or taking care of house projects under the guise of “working”.

Others take their telecommuting a bit more seriously, and end up working longer hours than their office-bound counterparts in order to retain the flexibility of maintaining a home office.

Get your own custom Cartoon Character

Everybody knows someone who spent all day doodling on their school notebooks.

And once in a while, you’d look over and say, “hey – that looks cool.  Draw me!”   And that never actually turns out the way you’d think, like Jack drawing Rose on the Titanic.  It ends up something more… grotesque.

Hotel guests prefer coffee over sex

Even the worst hotels in the country offer two things in every hotel room: a bed, and a coffee pot.

Now, that’s not to say that the bed is going to be the cleanest or most comfortable, and the same can be said for the coffee pot’s cleanliness status.

But at least the coffee is typically available in a single-serve package that (one hopes) hasn’t been tampered with.
