Sell Yourself
You’ve survived the resume and all the other parts of the job application, and now you’re in need of inspiration for the interview portion. What a great time to calm your nerves with examples of wisecracks you’d love to utter but know you can’t?
The eternally useful Sad & Useless blog has presented a selection of clever tweets about job interviews. And the blog was clever enough to get screen images of them, rather than furnishing embedded Tweets to whatever remains of that social media site since it turned into a Musk property.
Here are two more samples, but I recommend clicking through for the others if you’ve got an inner smart aleck in need of feeding.

Thanks for the morning chuckle. My son in law has been interviewing for jobs while spending time up north at the lake house.
