Considering Changing My Name To Justin Ross


Remembering bucolic scenes such as this recent one from Cambridge help ease the pain and drudgery of looking for a job.

Applying for jobs is so not fun. Not hearing back from anyone you've sent resumes to is not fun. Getting phone calls offering work to the former owner of our telephone number--well that's just really, really not fun. As one recruiter told me, after I informed him that this was no longer Justin Ross's phone number, "Well you sure must be getting a lot of phone calls. He has an impressive resume."

Next time I get one of those calls, maybe I'll just say, "It's actually Justine," and see how the interview turns out.
