Sorry if that was the impression raised. The point is not begrudging anything it's just the question, what in hell makes a person that has been a millionaire for 3 decades, and thus been out of the job interview business for at least that long think he's qualified to pass on useful career advice?
And no, Nystul. The 1 in a 100 is NOT the chance for your dream job at just the right place. Around here, the way the game goes, 1 in a 100 is just the plain average chance for your average job in a *halfway* fitting line of work at your average company, at some SUBaverage town in the hinterlands.
Dream jobs in big cities we're talking 1 in 300 and up, and then a resume of flipping burgers, waiting tables or filling boxes doesn't only not help, it kills.
