Karen Denton of Florence, MA “Interviewer: What are your qualifications as a chef? |
A few words with Karen: What do you do for a living? Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job? Ever used humor in a job search? What’s your best advice for jobseekers? What do you find funny and not funny about job search? Job searching requires patience, mental stamina, a positive attitude, and a whole list of other qualities. It can be difficult, discouraging, and at times bring you to tears, but then you’ve got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, remain hopeful, and laugh about it. Humor and hope will get you through to your next job.
