The Animal Panel

@animal Wow, your peanut gallery was harsh today. I think you need to wine & dine them a la The Ladders b4 the next jobseeker show.

@animal Peanut gallery will throw a ton of shi* at your guests. Some relevant, some fair, some not. The trick is to listen for what's useful

@ResumeStrategy @animal i don't think you could pay me enough - public slaughter is not my idea of a good time.

Embarrassment

From Jeff Goldberg (edited)

Ed Koch was the first politician of stature I had ever interviewed, and I flubbed it. I wanted to ask him about the corruption cases that were just then being exposed, but he out-talked me, and I was too young to know that I should have simply forced my way back into the conversation. ...

As we were driving back into town, I told him about our first encounter, several years earlier, and I said his filibustering kept me from asking what I wanted to ask. Why didn't I interrupt, he asked. I told him I was abashed. He responded: "Being abashed is a waste of time."

 

Immigrant Parents

From Gavin McInnes

The best part of having immigrant parents is the work ethic they instill. I was never without a job including the four years I was in college and have since had a very lucrative career as an entrepreneur. Daddy could have afforded to pay my rent after I moved out, but asking him would have been as absurd as me asking you. He’d assume I had a head injury or something.
