Story time.
Clara C.
Yes!! I was just looking for an excuse to stop working.
So you know how I had that job interview today
Haven’t you already had like seven this week??
Well yes my adorable and fully employed sister, that’s how it goes in this market. Anyway, I had another one today, ostensibly for Chief Marketing Officer at BioLight
Is that like Bud Light, but by biologists, so it’s like actually good beer?
They use bioluminescence in their biochemical assays to determine ATP levels. But I like your answer better so let’s go with that.
You really did your research.
So, the interview is at 10am. Of course I’m at my desk ten minutes early, mouse hovering over the zoom link.
Such a Virgo.
And also very Virgo of me is to keep my camera off until everyone else has turned theirs on. I’m very glad I do this
Because
Somehow I ended up in a Zoom room with a bunch of tech bros, having a meeting in progress that I wasn’t actually invited to
So wait.
It wasn’t BioLight?
No, I have no idea what the company was
That’s freaking hilarious
It was a marketing meeting, and one of the bros was presenting
And when I say it was the worst slide deck I’d ever seen
I mean it was the worst, and that includes slides that Daniella made when I was babysitting her and she randomly opened PowerPoint on my laptop and started key smashing
lol I still feel guilty that my child broke so many keys on your laptop
Who uses the T and E and space keys? Come on.
Anyway, I listened to the presentation for a few minutes
Because in my head I’m like
These guys need marketing help
And there you were
