The Voice Mail Hall of Fame

Got a message back this morning from the senior vice president, thanking me for my great voice mail. Great? Ah, the obsequious begging works. Testify.

I've been looking for a job for more than a month and sometimes it gets me down. It's different trying to get a job within the company where I've worked for seven years than it is trying to get a job with a new company. Witness: when someone in a new company doesn't call you back you can't take it personally. When someone you know in the company where you've worked for 7 years doesn't call you back -- you still can't take it personally. But it's really, really hard not to.
