Well if I was able to find a job making more money than I was at my last job then I would say I'm qualified to give tips. Of course I couldn't give these tips a month ago.
Oh crikey - how could one not see this coming. Once you actually start your new job I guess we can look forward to reading daily reports documenting every little glitch and burp. The suspense is too much to bear.

Whatever, I'm making 15% more than at my last job, and found a new one in five weeks. That and a dollar will get me a cuppa at 7-11.
One think I can say for you, TVGuy is you are trying to help people based on your experience. You aren't pointing fingers, being rude, telling people they are losers unless they bow down to the all mighty HR person.
Each person has a job search path. I am glad you found the job you wanted. Thanks for the tips. I hope your new job is very successful.
I see... maybe you should try for someone who doesn't have such a schoolgirl way of showing it.
