That is a lesson a lot of people have trouble learning.
When I applied to be a haunt monster at my local theme park, I did say I had a current job, but I gave no other information about my skills at the job. After all, I’m not trying to run their theme park, or re-design their computer system, I just want to scare guests.
So I want them to think of me has a mindless but conscientious employee who will show up for work, do what I am told, obey instructions, and not make waves.
They certainly didn’t need to know my class ranking for my engineering degree, or that they were going to pay me less a day than I’d make in an hour at my real job.
Don't you feel guilty taking that job when there are hundreds of illegal aliens who would be happy to make that job a career?
