Sometimes at a job interview I believe they don't want the truth, but are testing me to see if I know the "ideal" answer for their question.<BR/><BR/>I wonder when ambition and knowledge were replaced by cognation and facade.<BR/><BR/>~~> JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467981552527010347noreply@blogger.com
