If you’ve read my many comics about searching for a job, here in the 21st Century, on the computer and the internet, you know how frustrating that it can be. That’s why I believe the most incredible part of my job search story from 1983 isn’t the woman who crashed my interview (more on that tomorrow) though that WAS unusual, no. It was that I was able to cold call the second largest toy company in the country (Maybe the world? Not sure of the numbers on ’83) have them answer, connect me without question to the Art Director and he agreed to see me, a nobody, the next day.

That could NEVER happen these days.
