You Look Like
The Kinda’ Guy…
Desperate for work I applied for a
job running a body shop. I had no relevant experience
or training & the line for interviews was two blocks long. Gulp.
I
was an hour in line, but the interview lasted five minutes. “You look like the
kinda’ guy who can do this job,” he said, “Be here Monday at 6:30am.”
I
thought he saw my inner greatness…
…Until
my first managers meeting.
Every
one of us had sideburns, a mustache & a big head of hair. It looked like a mutant family reunion.
I
realized he’d meant only what he’d said.

He, he - amazingly enough, it's both funny and (for being only 100 words) a pretty complete story. Brings back memories of my very brief days as a door-to-door knife sales person (also actually a true story, sadly enough).
