Remember, employers (as far as I can tell) are in positions of power. Applicants are at their mercy. Applicants are the nervous ones. They are the ones who have to come to you. Generally, they have come to YOUR office. They have to call you. They are the ones standing in line. They are the ones who need the money. Some of them can barely (if at all) afford the suit, tie, dress shoes, and computer they've felt compelled to use while searching and searching. Some, I'm afraid to say, might even barely (if at all) have an address not to mention phone service (which, as you know, requires monthly payments or else). They are the ones trying to figure out what you want so they can "make a good first impression." They are the ones who, after going through all that, must wait and even face disappointments. I'm not saying that the positions of power equate to cockiness. I understand that employers are looking for certain elements, have only so much to offer, and they have to be concerned about making good on their investments. Still, with this blog, I'm kinda turning the tables and saying "you come to me," "you stand in line," "you have some conversations with me and tell me why you think we'd make a good mix working together."
