However, i was disappointed to find that applying for a job is nothing comparable to seducing someone. It's just no working the same way. Yes, and what copyblogger writes is just outright ridiculous. Being a good listener alone won't give you the job. No way. You have to be both guys (the achiever AND the listener) if you want to have any chance.
