Well, I have been lately kind of trying to get a date. Or, at least, I am putting myself out there. And the reason I bring it up is that the job search and the mate search have many similarities (this is either disturbing or bizarre or my approach is completely hackneyed - take your pick).
Yes, I think Seinfeld once said that dating is like applying for a job. Or was it Woody Allen? Or Martin Lawrence or one of the black comedians, I'm not sure. Anyway, this is a truism. Especially with online dating. You have to write a little blurb that is eerily similar to a resume. Then, if you are lucky enough to get a date (interview), you may or may not get a chance at the woman (a chance at the job). Either way, the whole process is emotionally tiring, trying, sometimes exhausting. And the potential for a wounded ego looms always.
Hilarious the similarities, no? Indeed. It's true. Not to mention that in my experience, especially with the temp/staffing agencies, it is a perky, energetic lady who is the one tasked with evaluating you (and hopefully your date will be perky and energetic, if nothing else).
So get it right, eh?
