Default shame confines Hamza Al Maktoum's mode

variation of
this report, so...

When a team of people sent their resumes to a business, including that
of a Managing Director, some discreet calls were made to see if we were
losing a whole department. (No, it was for a joint business deal.)

* addition of the words "New York," to reduce the number.

This cuts down on "noise". "Secret Power" gave examples of this too.

o Search all traffic for a set of keywords that are found (tuned) over
time to have the best results. SOME of the ones I used:

first day
last day
resign
new job
resume
interview
drug test

It's ironic that drug testing of employ
