Tough All Over?

Are things not going well in the world economy? As evidence, my ebook on "How to Improve Your Interviewing Skills" is now also selling in Canada, Australia, and Great Britain. I'm kind of gobsmacked. I knew our economy was in the tank, but most of the English-speaking countries? Are things that tough all over?

Well, if you know anyone who will be looking for a job in the coming year, this book will help them, as most people need assistance in learning how to interview: what to say, and what not to say. Remember that there may be hundreds of applicants for each good job, and one mistake can cost you a desired position.

Maybe it's time to arrange translation versions!

In other news, this comes into the "Great Minds Think Alike" category. My last post was on the retiring journalist Andy Rooney, and NY Times Best-Seller Debbi Mack also did a piece in memory of his work.

She puts in all the good links, so read hers. Andy, we'll miss ya, you old curmudgeon!

Farewell Andy Rooney

Tonight we saw the swan song of another legend of broadcasting from back in the age of dinosaurs, as a 92-year-old Andy Rooney gave his sendoff.

I liked him most of the time, even though some found him a bit whiny for their taste. It was because he had standards of decency of human behavior and culture, and saw much to irk him these last 50 years or so.

So my wife thinks I should take over his job. As she says, I'm a grumpy old man who complains a lot, so why shouldn't I get paid well for it?
