One: the interviewer who spent nearly the whole hour talking, telling me all about the company in depth, and hardly asked me any questions or gave me opportunity to ask any (after all that, I didn't get the job). Two: the interviewer who didn't believe it when I answered "No" to "Do you take/have you taken/are you considering taking drugs?" He made it clear that he expected everyone to have at least experimented at some time and was plainly disappointed that I hadn't!

Both the HR and Marketing managers were present, and both asked good questions, answered all of my questions, and were polite and friendly. They even acknowledged reading my cover letter and following up on the information provided in it! I knew then they really cared about their people and it made me want the job even more.

The movie would be a comedy, because I often say those words to myself right before getting into a big mess. Relentless optimism can be quite the occupational hazard.

The file room held over ten thousand files. My coworkers were great, but I had nightmares about files for at least the first month (files leaping off the shelves and munching me up, getting buried in an avalanche of them, misfiling all of them, shredding them accidentally, etc.).

Look for opportunities to learn. If you're interesting, you're more likely to secure an interesting job. The more interested you can be in things, the more likely you are to learn about them, and the more you know, the more you're worth. If you're used to thinking, even about nonessentials, your brain gets enough exercise to build on so when you need it for important things it'll be used to working for you. If you're stuck waiting in line and there's nothing to look at except maybe a fake tree in the corner, think about that. Wonder how they're made, how they're put together, if you had one what would you do with it, etc. Think, and think positively. Better to ponder the plant than whine about having to stand in line and how bored you are. My mother always says, "Only boring people get bored!"

I'd prefer a people-oriented industry to one of primarily sales (seeing people as moneybags lol) or manufacturing/machines.

Does the universe at large count as a mentor? I've learned and am learning to care; about details, fellow creatures, the present and future more than the past, what is most important at the moment, being true to myself, my limitations and when and how to push or not push them, and the kind of path I'm leaving for others to see or follow.
