5 months agoGod I tried SO HARD to like that book. Liked the show growing up because Legend of The Seeker is campy and weirdly ABC channel sexy (blond leather ladies touching you with Pain Dildos, essentially) but it was just trash.
The main character, by all means, should be the least knowledgeable and probably the least ‘wise’ character, but in comes Richard educating the Men of Mud on proper government structures and how their primitive tribal society was stupid and the way they made decisions was dumb.
And you’re right, don’t get me started on the confessors and how anyone with eyes wants to get bent over the table by the protagonist within minutes of meeting him.
…still like the shitty CW show though.
Speaking from experience on the opposite side, I’ve never networked for my career and have not been unemployed for any long stretch of time.
Mass apply to all relevant positions within distance in the field, tailored 3 versions of a resume and a basic editable cover letter (fucking hate those too but that’s another gripe). Get a few bites, investigate the company and salary ranges if possible, be upfront about expectations at the first interview and I’m usually in a job by the 10th or so company.
But I’m in tech (level 1 and 2, Service Desk and Tech Support roles) and have a B.A. in a completely unrelated field, so, your mileage may vary
