Only after I started smiling my hats off did I get anywhere close to getting an offer. I must've looked like a weirdo or something before.


I just had a mona lisa smile on for the most part, and revealed my teeth on some occasions which were pretty funny.
Do you see the other employees walking around like grinning idiots?
They sound exactly like the type that won’t hire long term unemployed, people eager to rejoin the workforce. Hopefully your career won’t hinge on your smile ability, god forbid you have a down day and it’s out the door.

What a ridiculous thing to say. NOT smiling, which is what Boosane said he was doing, meant he wasn't landing a job because he wasn't coming across well. People who don't smile seem off. It signals a problem. That doesn't at all translate to being shown the door if you have a down day.

If he listened to posts like this he'd still be looking for work.

This sure was a non-productive contribution to the discussion. Congrats!

Great comeback when you're unable to defend what you've posted.
