I'm pretty sure that almost anyone who's moving around Deviant Art have or will sooner enought be looking for a job... or they will be on government assist program and use others' taxes money.

Anyway! Since I'm far from the later, I have been submitting my resume about everywhere I could reach and where I could work for...

(Side note 1 : I laughted when I even submit my resume to a company for the job to be Human resource management assistant... which main objective is to find the best employees for others companies... ironic isn't it? But seems like I didn't get the job)

I recieved a little number of call back (lower than 5% of what I sent), but for most who called me back there was this particular question that made me think A LOT.

"As an employee, what is you main vice/lack/failure?"

This question have a lot of meanings and can be taken in a lot of ways, but it's still a good question to see if the may-to-be-employee know what he needs to work on. People tend to take this question as a trick where you need to find the most useless vice/lack/failure so that they can take you. (but never say things like "I like to sleep"... PLEASE! Unless it's a pillow factory, don't even think about it!)

Anyway... I have answered tons of different answers to that question, like everyone. But after hearing it for a couple of time in a short amount of time, I thought about it more seriously...

I think I have finally found my real MAIN vice/lack/failure as an employee WHEREVER I could work! The universal answer for ME.

The answer is... *drum sound*

I'm dependant about people being dependant to me.

Ok... This might not sound so big or even a vice to some... but it's a MAJOR one! It's even a bigger vice than being a real perfectionnist! (By "real perfectionnist", I mean those people who can even be physically sick of never being satisfied of whatever they are doing.... ever.)

First, this is NOT related about the will to be a leader, but it does make uses of your leadership.

This vice is about that whenever you're working, you think (willingly or not) that you must work for something... and ALWAYS for something in return. And that something is "that people become or stay dependant to you".
This vice can easily make you jealous of others when they seems to take all the attention AND the requests of help.
With this vice, you don't want to be a star or a famous person, but you want to constantly feel that you're needed.
Whenever you got NOTHING to do or no request, you CAN'T stay idle... You NEED to find something to do... and as strange as it sounds, you do it faster and better than you could ever do it before as if you had to prove to yourself that you're NOT useless...

That said... you now all know my vice...

That said again... I FREAKING NEED A FREAKING JOB!

(Side Note 2 : when you write/say "freaking" 2 times in the same sentence, it's meaning that you're REALLY freaking about it... :iconhardcoreplz:)
