Thanks, I've actually been working for a while. I got a contract job and then after a brief work stoppage landed a permanent job at the same company. What I learned is that there is a lot of churn with in-house or previously in-house candidates. In the recent history of my dept I was about as close as they got to…

They system is inefficient for sure. I think the real hiring managers want the best talent, but the time it takes to get it is something they don't have. I have no explanation for the large HR departments. Though HR is a bit bigger than just the absolutely opaque and outwardly obtuse screening process. Once in the…

I think your actual advice is spot on. Great advice to help an applicant stand out in the crowd that includes many people that don't follow your advice.

Clearly written by a person who hasn't had to look for a job in a while. It's easy to sit on the receiving end of applications and be a critic. Empathy isn't the opposite of tough love, but it may help you reach your audience in need rather than insult them.

I hereby nominate "Theta". 8th Greek letter.

Cost-Benefit and risk analysis summary: Keys win. Ditch the skinny jeans.

The anatomy apps are very hit and miss. I'd be willing to pay that much and more for a good one, but with no try before you buy I feel that I've been burned too many times. Four screenshots isn't enough to be swayed to drop 50 bucks on an app.

I took apart my Star Wars Troop Transport toy to figure out how the sounds came out. at 7 years old my tear down skills were a bit crude. When I couldn't figure out where they remaining screw was, I'd resort to the electric wood burner to melt the plastic.

Cheese curds need to be integrated into this masterpiece.

On top of the pre-ordered units arriving a week after hitting shelves, this product launch should be an embarrassment to Google. I hope there's at least an internal 'lessons learned' memo as a result of this.

My last job accepted my contract signed on an iPad, but the agency that does the background check did not.

Many folks have the problem due to poor vocabulary skills. They confuse humility and humiliation.

Or you could buy a Lustron home.

Kirby's rock. That looks to be a clone. A gold clone, but I think I'd take a Kirby over any Dyson.

I use it and think it would be a mistake to kill it. I know a lot of browsers duplicate the launching environment. But I liked to be able to start from the same thing from anywhere on any browser. I imagine there's alternatives, but I'm pretty google integrated. Killing this minimal option seems like only a lose-lose…

I really like WU and dislike The Weather Channel. I hope it really doesn't change things. But I've never really heard that come true in business link ups except for the minor craigslist-ebay interaction.

Trolling isn't defending your IP. It's when a company buys up IP for the sole reason of sending out threatening licensing requests that are likely to gain acquiescence based on the alternative of costly litigation rather than likelihood of infringing behavior. If they own it, it's theirs to defend and profit from.…

This is DBS, not to be confused with ECT. Exciting stuff really.

I'm tethering on an iPad right now, but I use my ipad2 with just wifi about 20% as often as I used my old iPad 3G. It's just not as convenient and extended use really depletes the phone battery. I'm willing to pay more for a version with data and for the data. That's shouldn't be more than 130.00 more than wifi. A…

Just the name delivers a wave of nostalgia. It was a time when everything was new and Winamp was pretty amazing. Yet somehow dial-up speed gets blocked out of that memory!
