[ The video turns on; Harry still looks rather clammy and tired, but he's dressed more sharply in a clean white shirt and black coat, tying a tie as he talks. He's got a pink satchel slung over his shoulder. ]So I've been thinking, well -- one of the first things I was told when I got here was to get a job, and sitting on it for a few days I ( Read more... )

Generally, resumes are taken on good faith, though it certainly depends on the employer. As we've no ability to prove our prior job experience, some will use this as a reason to refuse to hire Newcomers; others will demand a practical demonstration of one's skills; some, however, will simply take what is there as the truth and accept the prospective worker.

What you're saying is, it's basically like a lottery? Don't know what you'll get until you play?

[voice] mentis_reae January 14 2012, 05:07:03 UTC

By no means. There are ways to predict whether or not a business owner will be Newcomer-friendly.

Oh. Um, and how's that? Just asking?

Shit, it sounds like you've had an easy time with the job thing.

[ Oh and here's just the slightest of moments. ] What kind of business were you in?

[voice] harriedosborn January 14 2012, 05:05:43 UTC

My motto was, why work if you don't have to? [ Nervous laugh. ] Chemical manufacturing.

[voice] homomachinis January 14 2012, 05:12:25 UTC

[ A small laugh ]Oh, wow. That's a pretty high-tech field. I can't say I've met too many people in that particular one. I take it you did well?

We didn't go bankrupt, so... [ Chuckles. ] It wasn't the worst job in the world.

what are your skills?

permavoice harriedosborn January 14 2012, 05:08:45 UTC

Uh -- I was a CEO, so a lot of busywork with all the trimmings. Science, too. I'm something of a biochemist.

Canada may have some crappy bands in it but it's not THAT ass-backwards. I don't think there's some secret Canadian trick to Canadian business.

[She chuckles.]

What did you do before?

Any place with different currency's worth asking about, I think. You never know what kind of secret etiquette rules there might be. [ Smirks. ] Chemical research and manufacturing. Don't know how in demand that kind of thing is in this neck of the woods.

That's a good point, but I don't think you're gonna have to start wearing women's underwear or any shit like that if you wanna get a job here. [Grinning back!] Cool. I'd have no idea, I work in the news, but if you mention it you're probably gonna get SOMEBODY to help you out.

Thank goodness. I don't think I've got the figure for it. [ Chuckles. ] Here's hoping, though, because I think I'll need all the help I can get.

That really suits your pallor.

You mean my tie?

The pink cosmetic bag you're so daintily touting.

I wasn't going to bring it with me.
