Song of the Day - Ben Folds Five

Today's song is "Best Imitation of Myself" by Ben Folds Five.



I just heard this on Pandora and thought it was a good song for today.  The song's about being what someone else wants you to be, but one of the good lines is "Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole wondering who I am when I ought to know." 

I've spent a lot of time applying for and interviewing for as many jobs as possible and of course everything is tailored to that possible employer.  Certain things are left out or highlighted on versions of my resume.  My objective changes with the job.  Aren't I old enough to know what my true objective is? 

I remember once several years ago interviewing for a job with a patent law firm.  I became exactly who I thought they wanted.  I told them that the patent process was fascinating to me.  I told them I was considering law school even thought I wasn't sure yet.  To my surprise, they bought the whole thing and offered me a job, which I turned down.  Hopefully, I don't have to act that much during this job search.
