Don’t let it get you down. Keep your eye on the prize and stay focussed!

Also, the advertised jobs are supposedly a fraction of the available jobs.

Pick a place you’d like to work and go for it!

I've had those four times! I thought I was going to die the first time. The worst part was the first time I had them, it was the middle of winter and like all New England girls, I had been lax about the whole shaving my legs thing.
