sounds about right. that's exactly the way i interpret all of it. the way i feel about job listings is the same way i feel about fast food menus.

BUT??_ hooray for jobs!!!

and multi-tasking doesn't even exist unless you are a robot or a computer. attempting to do it will literally make you retarded. switching gears on the other hand??_ people can be faster than lightning at that.

lollll i always wonder the under meaning behind the beautiful words they lay out... (scorpio ascendant maybe mercury in virgo makes me wonder i dont know) but it seems about right 😆!

i noticed some people post a very varied job description where youre like ho that seems like a very fun job like you do a lot of different stuff and the paycheck is like crap and you end up doing everything... especially internships....

Interviewer: "Where to you see yourself in 5 years?"
Me: "Sitting on a beach somewhere with my toes in the sand, sipping on a Mai Tai and watching the man candy".

20 years ago I would have responded "Running this company".

Don't think those answers are appropriate, though.

I think it's possible to multitask (i think i do it...) but there is surely a body-limitation but in your head you can be like ahead of what you have to do and prepare... and when you're managing other people i find it similar to multitasking cause its like you added body part to yourself cause you use their body parts to get a part of the job done... (weird explanation of my point i know...)

I hate that question. I used to play the game and come up with some BS.

I was asked this question while interviewing with my current job, and I responded: "I have no idea to be perfectly honest. I've been asked this question in every interview I've ever had, and I've never been where I thought I was going to be once that 5 years was up. 5 years ago, I had no idea I would be sitting here in front of you right now, interviewing for a new position."

I obviously got the job, and the reaction from the interviewer was pretty positive. I think he said: "Good point/that's fair" with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

That's a great answer, might have to use that in the future 😄 I feel like it could have been taken either very well (in your case), or not so well lol.
