"Dear Blogger,
I have an interview tomorrow at a dog washing place. I think that I would be great for the job, and boy howdy, I could really use the money too. I've been preparing for my interview this evening and I was wondering, should I pretend to know more about dogs than I really do?

Dear Amanda,
YES!!! Ya see, in todays competitive job market, bullshitting is of the utmost importance. This is something I learned job hunting in New York, and it is also how I aquired my present job. "Fake It Til You Make It" may sound cliche but it's very important. It's not like they're gonna give you a dog quiz. Just pretend that you've had more pet dogs than you really have or that maybe you worked at a pet store in High School. While it is true that you are very charming, it would be a shame to see your dog washing potential go to waste because they went with a more experienced candidate.......or one who bullshitted.
