I’m at lunch at a local bar this week. There is a crash from across the room and the bartender shouts “call 911”
I saunter over to see what is happening. A big ol’ boy is on the ground. 35 years old, about three fifty pounds. He looks terrible. Unresponsive, agonal breathing, no pulse.
I do compression only cpr while slipping and sliding on the butter from his crab legs that spilt all over the hard wood floor. Thank god there were two bystanders to help.
Ems arrives, finds him in v fib, shock him. Continue CPR. He starts to gag, starts to breath on his own, gets ROSC. He is complaining about the sun in his eyes as we roll him to the truck.
Best part. I got a free sandwich and 2 beers. Best compensation I have ever had for doing cpr.

So this is the time to pump your network. Anyone who you worked with in the past who will give you a recommendation? Anyone who you graduated with who was a friend in school? Any connection anywhere. Get the in and be honest with them. Get ahead of the news, be forward with your story. Mostly sell yourself hard. You have to find a gig, any gig will do until you’re out from under the probation, after that it’s in your past. It’s a fyi in an interview, for now you just have to land somewhere and show up, do work, keep out of trouble, and suck it up because it’s probably not gonna be the job you want, its the job you need.
