Job hunt

It is the end of the academic year. Unfortunately, this year for me has been less than ideal. So, once again I am on the hunt for another position at another school. This time I am going hard and not settling for the first thing that comes along because that was what got me in trouble the first two times. As I go on the hunt, there are these tips that run through my mind that makes me look a little closer at the job hunt process. Something that keeps popping up is the line, "Sell yourself." One needs to put oneself out there, be aggressive, show off the best qualities one has....seems like a lot but sounds a lot like prostitution to me. Corporate prostitution. I'm not trying to crack on my brothers and sisters trying to make ends meet, but I'm seriously looking at the styles of getting jobs and they seem very similar.
