The hired preachers of all sects, creeds, and religions, never do, and never can, teach any thing but what is in conformity with the opinions of those who pay them.
I’m convinced that I’ve been hired for jobs because I can cry on cue.
When I hired the first group of cruiserweights – which consisted of Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, and Eddie Guerrero – I sat them down in my office, and I was very clear to them. I said to them, almost verbatim, ‘You need to be my human car crashes at 9 P.M.’
I didn’t have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn’t even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn’t understand what I did wrong on those job applications.
As a kid, I just loved cartoons. And as the credits went by, I’d study those names and then try to figure how I could get hired to do what Mel Blanc and Daws Butler did. Create all of these great voices for animated characters.
The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.
When hired three years ago, I willingly accepted the challenge of leading the Bulls back to the type of team this city richly deserves. I’m proud of the fact that each year the team has taken another step toward an NBA championship, and played with intense pride and determination.
Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations.

In discussions around the hiring and firing of Black faculty at universities, the charge is frequently heard that Black women are more easily hired than are Black men.
The minute you get cast, you worry they’ve made the most terrible mistake. There’s a really awkward stage between being hired and doing the job when it doesn’t feel real.
I’ve been on predominantly ‘white’ shows before, and I had also been on predominantly ‘black’ shows. I would complain that when I was on a white show, they would only hire me because there was a black character or they needed a black voice. But then I would be mad if they went and hired a white dude in my position.
I was one of the key people responsible for building Facebook’s News Feed. When we launched it in 2006, users hated it. There were ‘I Hate Facebook’ groups; random people organized protests. We even hired a security team.
After a subsequent interview at Brooklyn Poly, I was hired, and life as a fully independent researcher began.
The voiceover thing is very selfless. You go in there and they’ve hired you for your voice, but they know exactly what they want, and the writer’s there and he knows exactly how it’s supposed to be said. So you can’t really argue with them, you just have to let them tell you what to do and then do it.
I decided to work really hard in 1987. I hired Matt Doyle, a former pro player, and he helped me with my physical training. Lendl was the first to focus on that. He used to be weak, physically and mentally.
At this point, I don’t get hired a lot because people don’t think I could finance a movie.
I think that when I’m an actor, I get hired, and you say jump three inches, I’ll jump three inches. I just kind of trust what the writer’s vision is.
I prepared five songs, I sang them, and he hired me. I started working about a month later at the piano bar.
I would rather be hired solely for my talent, not just to fill a quota. I also don’t want to shoot just any studio movie just to say I’m shooting studio movies – for me, quality of the material comes first, and if eventually that leads to a really great studio project, then that’s a bonus.
It’s beyond my control who’s going to cast me or how you’re going to pigeonholed, so for me, it’s just I want to keep doing different things because I want to get better, so hopefully I’ll be hired to do them.
Doing a good play on the stage is like eating a good meal at home – assuming your wife is a great cook or that she’s hired a great cook.

I’m thrilled to get hired every once in a while.
I’ve never really hired anybody that people thought I should hire.

I came up in Australia and I was really lucky that straight out of school I was hired in a play. It was a production of ‘The History Boys.’
I don’t take a stance to score political points. That’s not what I’m about. That’s not why the people hired me. If I do take a stand on something, it’s because I’ve thoroughly researched it.
My husband is an editor, and in fact he was the first person who hired me as an assistant editor. Then we fell in love and the rest was history.

My career expertise is as a psychometrician – somebody who builds tests to measure personality. Companies would employ me to build interviews to measure the talents of people before they were hired.
I am Evanescence. I am the only original member. I have basically hired the band. Evanescence has become me. It is mine and it’s exactly how I want it to be.
I get recognized by some people in my community, but not a lot. In fact, they would say, ‘What do you do?’ And I would say, ‘Well, I did ‘The Bernie Mac Show.” And they would say, ‘Oh, really? Well, do you know so-and-so?’ And I’d say, ‘Yeah, I hired them. I was the boss!’ They don’t believe it.
I was hired at CNBC TV by a financial news anchor named Louis Rukeyser who had spent decades as a foreign correspondent in the Middle East. He told me I could learn the craft on the job. That was my first paid gig. Before that I was an unpaid intern at CNN in Atlanta.
Gen. Banks has issued an order for the instruction of Negro children. Schoolhouses are to be built or rented and Teachers hired for this purpose, and the farmers and planters are to pay the Taxes in support of this.
I assume you know what to do with this. That’s why you were hired.
I was hired as a penciler.
Rush Limbaugh is a lame professional swine, and he makes a good living at it. He is like a hired geek in some traveling backwoods carnival – the freaks who bite the heads off chickens – but Limbaugh is a modernized geek who thinks he can bite the heads off of people.
People think that we hired a bunch of actresses and taught them how to wrestle, and that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I grew up in Arizona, but I moved to L.A. when I was 18 to model. I was doing work for American Apparel and then got cast in the Yeezus tour. Vanessa Beecroft did the creative direction, and they hired three American Apparel models and nine dancers – it wasn’t a lot of dancing; we were mostly just walking.
I hired a full-time chef, so I wasn’t taking that time to order pizzas or eat Wild Wings or stuff like that. I travel somewhere, I’m gone for a long period, I have a chef. I think that elevated my game.
Waiting to be hired, as an actor, especially, is soul-destroying… There is always something you can do… Create something, a play reading… Anything. But don’t rely on other people to come to you. Put yourself out there.
You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
Charter hired me – which, to be honest, took some humility on its part, since I have helped lead public campaigns against cable companies like Charter – to advise it in crafting its commitment to network neutrality.
For minority actors, developing our own projects has to be the eventual path. We have a lot of stories to tell and a really unique voice. But none of that is going to be heard as long as we’re just the hired hands, acting.
I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it’s actually easier than it was years ago.
I’m the last senior executive who was hired by Roy Vagelos. It’s an honor, but it also imposes upon me an obligation not only to think about his legacy but also about this company’s legacy.
