Ten Ways to Ace Your Judgment Day Interview

1. Be on time.

2. Tell the Lord you've heard a lot about heaven and like what you hear.

3. Be neat, alert, make direct eye contact.

4. Don't stare at the facial hair.

5. When the Lord speaks, lean forward, act interested.

6. Be familiar with the Lord's background. ("I really liked your Ten Commandments.")

7. Be clear on where you want to be in five years.

8. Be honest about personal flaws. ("I tend to be too forgiving.")

9. Do not hesitate to underscore qualifications. ("I go to church every Easter.")

10. Make it clear that you'll accept the standard benefits package.

Christina,

I'll confess something. When I originally pulled this piece, I had you in mind. You've shown me, however, that a person of deep faith can have a sense of fun -- and be secure enough in her faith to be tolerant of the whims of others.

Smiles,
RB

Love your sense of humor!

I loved number 6! I'm glad you decided to put this back on.

From one RB (Robert Brague aka Bob aka rhymeswithplague aka, oh forget it) to another, may I just say that, having come here from Daisy's blog, I find this post charming and funny and sacrilegious, all at the same time!

It reminds me of the saying, "The Lord is coming...look busy."

rhymes,

Been over to your site (which unfroze on the second try) and find it charmingly eclectic, which, next to disarmingly dyslectic, is what I like most in a site. Will look you up again.

smiles,
rb
