I’ve called, emailed, and clicked the unsubscribe link several times, all to no avail. You are still sending me emails for which I never subscribed and are clearly in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act. If this doesn’t cease immediately, you will face legal action.

This is the longest, most pointless ramble I have ever read. You should learn how to write.

Mr. Barnes,

It is now generally agreed that America won the Vietnam war on the battlefield but lost it politically. Even General Giap in his memoirs made that statement. He said that after the Tet Offensive, which they lost. However, they continued to harass because of the turmoil at home. I just wanted to correct you on that.

I have recently been looking for a full time job. I have had a rough time with it though. I have been looking on the intenet at the classifieds for my area and there just isn’t anything around!

Thanks for the very enlightening article! They should teach this kind of stuff in college. So many young people get wrapped up in moral issues of what is right and wrong and miss out on the big opportunities in life.

Who is to decide what constitutes an unfair advantage? After all, our concept of fair is based on precedence and tradition. If one person has a college education, you might say they have the unfair advantage over an uneducated person when it comes to getting a high paying job. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing something wrong. They’re simply utilizing every available resource to win.

Using unfair techniques to accomplish a goal, doesn’t equate unethical or illegal behavior. Thanks for your observations.

Harrison, the job search world these days is a street fight. You have to be willing to give up the Marquis de Queensbury rules of boxing, and get in there and get the job done.

The name of the game is get the offer.

It is like the sales training scene in the movie Glengary Glen Ross. Alec Baldwin states, “A man doesn’t walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Your job is to sell them.” If you want a job you have to go out and take it from the other guy.

Even if you fight “dirty” you get the paycheck, they get the unemployment check.

Cheers!
