Advice from my mom about job hunting

Here’s an email I got from my mom, who is an information technology manager at a Fortune 100 company:

Sweetie,

I was reading through a pile of resumes that human resources gave me, and there was one resume that was so good, but the guy was too high level for what I needed.

Then I though to myself, he’ll definitely get a job soon, and I’d like to have HIS job, so I should send my resume to his company right now.

You should tell this to your readers.

Love,
Mom

Good advice from your mom. It’s important to think one step ahead when looking for opportunities. I’ll keep this one in mind. BTW…was she really on the Jeopardy show?? My mom is a pro at scrabble and crossward puzzles. She says it helps the mind.

Jeopardy. Yes. And she’s great at Scrabble and crossword puzzles, too. Maybe your mom should try out for Jeopardy.

Tip for all you Scrabble players: My mom says it’s all about the two-letter words.
