Episode description

Wisdom gained from over 4 plus decades of recruiting or employment seeking.

“Getting fired is nature’s way of telling you that you had the wrong job in the first place.” — Hal Lancaster
Going to Work

My  working career started around the age of 11. Having already decided to  be an artist, I was inspired to create. Much time was spent creating  drawings, pottery, painting, poetry or even what we called “alley  hunting.”

One of my favorite places to be was in Art class or at the small desk in my room making something.

A  year or so later, after asking my Mom for some money, I found myself  shipped off to rural Nebraska where my knuckles got bloodied while bees  chased me around as I tried to throw hay bales.

Somehow,  I talked the decision maker into letting me drive the tractor. Selling  him on the fact that I was not that strong and was slowing down  production.

Later,  I would enter sales as a profession, but would have to finish my time  on the tractor first. That ended abruptly when I failed to negotiate a  turn coupled with an elevation change, overturning the almost full  flatbed trailer.

This event is seemingly so rare, I could not find even one picture ANYWHERE depicting a similar event.

I was not very popular after that and was shipped back home.
