The Animal in Me

On a day where one really must be putting more effort into getting a job i have decided that it is probably best to decide upon which animal i am.

This, of course, is an important aspect of every job-seekers research in preparation for the strange questions interviewers may ask. On the off chance that a future employer will base his/her entire opinion on my self-worth on what animal i would be if such ridiculous things were possible i am indeed prepared.

I would be a lion.

Or so http://www.animalinyou.com/ suggests.

After answering some ludicrous questions the website churn out a ridiculous description of what I (believe I) am and what jobs i am fit for. I will admit, i was completely self-obsessed and answered that i am above-average attractive, am popular and incredibly efficient in the workplace (on my very best days).

Apparently, this is what i am:

The lion personality has the unmistakable presence of nobility. Moving with the unruffled calm of a cat and the dignified gait of someone in command, lions have no need to walk or talk quickly since they're never in danger of being ignored or marginalized. Every now and then, the lion will play to its gruff reputation by dramatically reprimanding a subordinate or impulsively making love to its partner with unsheathed claws. But underneath all its hissing and scratching, it's still a pussycat at heart.

Though my absolute favourite part of the whole thing is the best suited jobs:

Lions are aggressive, predictable and dependable. Others always know where they stand with a lion, and their confidence and leadership abilities make them successful CEOs, company presidents, judges or lion tamers.

I am going to go out on a whim here and suggest that lions are possibly the worst choice for judges. How on earth would they bang the hammer down? Or announce the impending sentence?? As Lion Tamers on the the other hand...

From this i am to disregard this information in favour of my favourite animal: Penguins.

They are, apparently, creative and good writers but are not endeavoured to succeed.

Sod that.

They're beautiful, resilient creatures who work effortlessly to protect and feed their family.
They also look great in hats.
