JOB HUNTING? Be careful what you wish for!
http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=38# Several months ago I fired off a resume to a local auto restoration shop that was looking for a restoration-technician. In my cover letter and introduction I mentioned that for a chance at a job like that I would almost work for nothing, or something worded very close to that! Several months pass- I hear nothing- then today, on the very same bulletin board that posted the original ad is one that now reads: 'Auto/restoration-technician INTERNS wanted! (2) positions available for someone willing to work 12 months (NO WAGES) in exchange for the work experience you will gain!'
I somehow feel violated. I'm still looking for work but will perhaps choose my words with a little more thought from here on out!
