Having a great resume doesn't mean you'll get the job, especially if you tank the interview.

With all the crap most of us are constantly buying -- on top of the crap we already don't have anywhere to put -- it only makes sense that we're going to have to get a little creative when it comes to storage.

Not a great time to be you.
