I would not have believed this could happen if I hadn’t been there myself. Wow! That’s the only thing I can say.

This guy shows up at my office at 4:30pm on Friday, April 11th looking for a job. I introduced myself and then when I told him that he would have to come back at another time because we were swamped, he asked to speak to the “man in charge about setting up an appointment on Tuesday”. I played along thinking this has got to be a practical joke. I go tell my partner that someone wants to see him about a job and he laughed about the “man in charge” comment. He tells me to “let him stew for a few minutes”. So I did. While waiting on the “man in charge” this guy proceeds to tell me that he can do my job in 1/2 the time because he got 91% in Advanced Accounting so the CPA exam is going to be a “piece of cake” and shouldn’t take more than a “month to pass”. My license is hanging on the wall, literally right behind my head. My name is on the freaking building! And he never put two and two together. Finally, “the man in charge” comes out to my desk and introduces himself and then proceeds to introduce me as his partner and tells the guy that “She makes all of the hiring decisions” and points to me. This guy went from the deepest shade of red I have ever seen on a human being to white as a sheet in about 30 seconds. It took him that long to figure out that I was a CPA. I just smiled and said “Good luck with your job search.” When he walked out of the office, I looked at my partner and asked “Did that just happen?” WOW!

Hey Jeff you took away my non-moderator status. Is there any way I can get “My name is on the freaking building!” instead?

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

I'd rather have “I can probably do your job in half the time”

oh dear some people are truly looking for drama.

Bottom line: if you approach a potential employer and are told it is not a good time and you would need to come another time, that is the end of the discussion.

If you are so clueless as to insist on speaking to someone on April 11 at a CPA firm, you are an idiot who doesn't deserve a job.

ta-da, has nothing to do with feminism and everything to do with professionalism and realizing your target audience doesn't have the time to humor your juvenile need to be stroked over a good grade.

I did try Trolling once. Couldn't really find a bridge that was comfortable enough. Not only that but the cops told me I was doing it wrong because I had my CPA review books with me and told me to go home.
