Perhaps I sounded more cruel than I intended to, but it is my honest
belief that in the competitive world we live in today, one should really
do a lot of thinking and researching before presenting themselves to a
company or institution with whom they hope to gain employment. Lord knows
I've learned this from harsh experience, and I do my homework before I
send out resumes now! If I could tell this to this poor job seeker I
would, and maybe it would hurt her feelings a little at first, but in the
long run it would do her a lot of good!
