This used to actually be a trick for a certain kind of staffing agency.

Not sure if it’s still true, but when I was in my teens and twenties, there was a type of agency that would only place people they thought would have few other options once hired. They were known for trapping people kinda at the end of the line in positions where they had to eat a lot of shit, but the pay would be just a liiiittle too good tobup and quit.

They’d never hire you if you seemed put together. The trick was to have a small swig of something smelly–gin or bourbon–just before your interview.

That got me a couple of really nice paying forklift driving gigs. The trade-off was they were always for awful companies to work for long-term.

Alcohol is probably one of the best social anxiety drugs available.
