(13,929 posts)4. Which begs the question, how many DU'ers have fibbed on a application....?
Ok, I'll start.. If I got a job and it really sucked, I'd quit.. It might take a bit of time to get a new one. I would not put down the crappy short term job on the new application and would say I was "in school" or "taking some classes"... Always worked..

(36,827 posts)5. My grandfather told me about all the jobs he had during the depression
He said whatever they asked if he could do, he said yes. His logic was by the time they figured out differently he would already have the job. He said he once worked as a singing waiter in Chicago.
