It's just that easy.

Zach Motl is a guy with a tiny apartment in Brooklyn. By virtue of his minescule living space, the Times thought it important to write about how novel living in a small apartment can be. I've read this sort of story before, "only in NY! amiright?" Close to 1000 doll hairs for 178 square feet. Fine, you are being fleeced, but what really g's my g, is this postscript:

"By November of 2008, Mr. Motl wanted just one (full-time) job. He was still waiting tables to support himself while he worked part time for Mr. Redd. A friend showed him a posting on Craigslist by Robert Couturier & Associates, the upscale architecture and design firm.

The ad was for a junior designer, with three years’ experience and knowledge of AutoCAD, the computer drafting program. Mr. Motl didn’t meet either of those requirements, but he did have pictures of this apartment. He got the job."

It's just that easy. sigh.

The reason this is so frustrating at this very moment is that I am a qualified candidate with a master's degree sitting at a two-day job fair in Boston with only 1 interview scheduled, for a job in Arizona. The worst part is, I forgot to bring pictures of my quirky apartment.
