oh, actors are professionals. i am sure he's able to separate the two things. it's his job. i mean, it's not like the cast of cheers was drunk at the live wrap show that jay leno did.
and i'm sure it in no way played any part whatsoever in his two separations and ultimate divorce to his wife.
Re: S Choir seriously? you ever notice how they refer to hank as this decent writer, yet the last 5 fucking seasons he hasn't written a goddamn thing, because that would mean, you know, that at least 1 writer on the show be good at his job. what the fuck is this show supposed to be about, other than the painfully obvious fact that duchovny is an ep on the show as well. every actor on that thing stole their paychecks and the fucking know it. this show shouldve been taken out back and buried 4 years ago.
you guys know about porn, right? there are rockin cans all over this here internet box, no stilted plot required.
what did you guys say? oh, you want the niykee heaton pic of the day? well shit, you don't have to pull my arm!
figuring out a subject line for what is essentially a cold call email sucks. i gotta make it count but everything i think of makes me sound like a marketer.
i'm always afraid to be too baller in case it scares people away. i've only thrown caution to the wind once. i applied for some lab tech type positions in hawaii and in my cover letter, i wrote "bewildered: gets shit done." i also didn't hear back from that one. weird.
cold call emails aren't worth shit, regardless of the subject line. if you can, show up in person, unannounced, and ask for a quick chat. or call. or do something that is one-to-one contact. the only time a "cold call email" works is when it's a direct referral. something like "nettdata, Binary said i should talk to you." then you have my attention, and due to the trust i have in binary, i'll actually read and more than likely reply to your email. my company's financing just got announced in the wall street journal, and my inbox is blowing up with cold-call emails. not reading a single one, regardless of how cutesy the subject line is. $0.02
this x one thousand million (boobies) if you're standing there, they have to do something with you. it takes zero effort to ignore an e-mail, and barely more to simply hang up the phone or say (i'm sorry we're not hiring). but if you're there in person, someone, of some ranking, has to do something with you. and since people are generally non-confrontational, it's a lot easier for them to hear you out for even a few minutes than it is for them to ask you straight up ask you to leave. and even if they do ask you to leave, at least it'll most likely be in the (again, non-confrontational) way of "we're not hiring right now but you are more than welcome to leave your resume." if you leave your resume, they are hiring. and it looks a lot better to whomever does the hiring, that you made the effort to physically go there, than it does that you sent out a copy-and-pasted mass e-mail. i always look at the applications i get from people who applied in-person first, even if they're less-impressive than the ones i get online. experience has simply taught me those are the better and more long-term employees. and most often, if someone turns in a resume in person and seems nice enough (read: makes a good, quick but subtle pitch), i'll be the one asking them if they have time for an on-the-spot interview. my $0.02.
this, and only this. exactly how i got my first job, that i was way under-qualified for i might add. my ex's dad played golf with an executive at a company. told me to send him an email and give him his name. 3 weeks later i was starting. if you go the more traditional route of applying online or whatever, dont be afraid to follow-up with hr people or hiring manager a week or so later. show that youre interested. remember that they can only say no. or press charges and file a restraining order.
this email is a result of a referral. i work with a geologist who is bartending part time and she said i should contact mister x. so i am doing that. your advice seems to be spot on, though. i have a resume to hand in to another business tomorrow for a job advertisement. my resume isn't impressive (after all i have zero real experience) but i'm pretty cool when you meet me. that being said, i should have used a better subject line. i've been mulling over phrasing for the past 3 days so i said fuckit and wrote it up. if i don't hear anything back i can always talk to the person who referred me originally about it.
