My bad. I guess this means I can't claim I've delved deeply into the archives of Life Without Pants! Maybe you you used the "tachyon accelerator" created by Will Farrell's character in Land of the Lost to go back in time and steal my idea. :) So you did. My bad.

But you gave a shout-out to my hometown's brewery, so it's okay.Meeting someone without asking for a job so one of the most powerful and underused tools in a job searcher's arsenal. Thanks for helping spread awareness of it. Matt,

Knowing that I inspired a call to action amongst my readers is the most rewarding thing I could ask for - it's 'why I do what I do'. Set up as many meetings as you can - anyone that will take the time to meet with you - take them up on it - you will learn so much if not about the company, then about yourself. Cheers!

You don't necessarily have to schedule a coffee shop visit for a meet-up. An interview or meeting CAN be conducted in a casual format regardless of the setting - and honestly, I think those interviews that are run like a conversation are much more effective and give both parties a clear perspective into what one another is like and how the personalities mesh. If I never have to go through the drab interview ringer ever again I will die a happy man. I think your story illustrates a good point Sam.
