Or You Could Just Foot My Bills Instead
Here’s one for the books – I answered an ad back in March for a fashion writer. I just received a note today from the “employer.” Instead of offering me the gig or discussing it with me, “Guenther” simply wrote this: “I had to postpone the launch of this venture in March as I had to go to Europe…what are you doing these days? If you are so into fashion…why don’t you team up with me to launch this site?You could be around apparel all day…”

It’s a first for me. Answer an ad for employment, become the venture capitalist for a stranger who not only didn’t hire me but now wants my money. Gosh, I should feel flattered. Or flattened. Yea, that’s the right one.

Don’t look for the check, Guenther.
