Surely by now they must know who Jordan Klepper is. They must know that they're not going to present them in the best light. But they keep talking to him (great, keep this series going). Do they come out of these interviews thinking they did well and are helping spread the word?

Also I'm not entirely sure they know what a King is, or a dictator. Bizarre how they might have read a lot of stories about Kings and Queen's, maybe from the bible, perhaps they even watched game of thrones, but want this for themselves? I get that they want this for others thinking that excludes them, but how do they make that link?

This makes meat obelisk slices sound more appealing to me. And now I'm hungry.

It can be a bit of a high. Mouth in pain but mind is like woah.

Do pants feel pain?

I just got back from Australia and while cooler temperatures than 39 are welcome, this is probably a tad lower than what I hoped for.

From one person's experience (mine): They don't read CVs that closely. I've got a couple of 1 year jobs (not contracts) and they're more interested in what I did rather than why so short. If they ask I tell them it's because I didn't like the position but gave it a go for a year. I also have a 2 year gap in employment none of them are interested in for 4 jobs now, they don't even spot the missing years and I've had to point it out in interviews because it's a story of how I deal with big tasks.

If they are that petty that they'll pass me over because of something like that then that employers policies would raise more flags than I'd want to deal with anyway.

When hiring you have hundreds of CVs pass by, I'm looking for experience, we'll sort out these other details in the interview.

Caveat: I am older now, more senior but never had issues finding work.

Im pretty senior now, you'd pass me by and the most valuable thing I'd do is to reduce that learning time.

I don't know what you do, but in my IT jobs I've seen  long onboarding times are due companies not focusing on their product, eg: a finance company writing their own authentication system, or maintaining someone's vanity project who has long since departed. Get rid of that and you can bring people in off the street.

Have you got more details on that? I wouldn't classify it as a hard reset but I never did the crazy high doses.

Term has been around a while

"The term was originally coined by researchers Reginald Newell and Yong Zhu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early 1990s to reflect the narrowness of the moisture plumes involved."

.But yes, I guess the news has started using it more now.

Can confirm. It was pretty dense and creepy out there

There are better kings in pyscadelic rock. King Buffalo maybe? King Gizzard is not always easy listening.
