As someone who is not a big negotiator or aggressive enough, I appreciate it when the manager automatically assumes I am and try to preemptively reach my targets. And that only happens when they've been traumatized by aggressive extrovert candidates who fight to set standards.

I currently work for a major healthcare system in south Florida. I have my degree in ultrasound and have been looking to move up for quite a while. The supervisor agreed to an interview with me and would provide someone for me to scan. I spent pretty much the whole night studying so I can be prepared for it. I didn’t sleep so I was already tired by the time the interview began. The “interview” was a 15 minute lecture on why they won’t hire me. There were no questions regarding my skills or qualifications. They didn’t even have me scan! It was really unprofessional and a waste of time. I’ve worked at the company for years so why is it so hard for me to receive a fair chance to pursue my career?

So I ended up CLOSING the windows, and now all we have is the univents, which are blowing…
