Why Job Hunting is like Dating
Job hunting is a lot like dating. You meet, you talk, you think there was good chemistry. He says he'll call. You believe him. A few days pass and you start making excuses for him. He's busy. Something came up. He's on a secret mission flying the Russians around the CONUS (yes, I really did get that from a guy once). He got called away on unexpected business. And then enough time passes that in spite of the fact that you are the perfect girl for the job, he just hasn't called. And you have no idea why.

I have a friend who uses this analogy often. And she extends it to having a job is like being in a marriage, and sometimes it can be really abusive. I'm sure you know what she's talking about, given your last job. So it's good to take your time and really evaluate whether the relationship is one you want to have--put the agency back in your court, you know?
