1. I was looking at a job I thought about

applying for but they wanted your current supervisor as a reference

2. The one about the income is true

My sons encountered that a few times. Job they were wasting time applying for offered lower salary than their current job.

3. Ramen cups and jeans on Friday - LOL, rings true.

All these responses are great.

Fortunately I was able to stay in the same position for a long spell at the end of my wage-serf years. (The work situation was quite the mixed bag, but it was mostly tolerable. And at least I didn't have to go on any more job interviews!)

4. One of the reasons I am still at my current job is the hell that is applying for a new one.
