One more thing. Now that you have not been fired and have the luxury of looking for a new job at a relaxed pace, buy yourself a copy of "What Color is Your Parachute" by - what the hell is his name? Do all of the exercises in the back. It may take you up to 40 hours to complete. Take no shortcuts. When you finish, you'll be a new person and you'll have a very clear picture of the job you want to have. It just might surprise you. It will definitely change your behavior during interviews.

Jerry did all this and then knew exactly what he wanted. A company set up an appointment for him to meet with the president to tell the president what they could offer him to get him to work for them. He cancelled the meeting because he could not think of an answer! This company simply could not create a job which he wanted.
