Thank God for recruiters and headhunters am I right?  All of my last 5 jobs have come that way and I’m not sure I’d know how to apply or get a job without one.  Getting that pretty much instant feedback and person with access to the info you need is a Godsend.  

This is idiotic and I truly believe that your company has missed out on tons of great employees due to this policy.  Taking the time to polish my resume and craft it according to the specific job description your company published shows that I can be bothered to care.  And then loading it into your antiquated talent…

Remember, you may have taken time out of your day, but your interviewers (usually plural) all took time out of their much busier days (remember, they’re hiring managers) to meet with you.

As usual articles like this assume its easy to actually send one to people. Most of the time you don’t get the decision maker’s full first and last names much less their contact information. Of course the comeback for that is “research for it!!” which frankly just sounds creepy as “hey I purposely didn’t give you…

People who are interested in pop culture, guessing.

I worked at a movie theater when this came out. It was there so shortly (two weeks at most) it felt like a rare White Elk moment.

It’s interesting watching Kelly Clarkson’s performance in that film. She’s bad, but it’s not bad acting from incompetence or poor direction. It’s the very rare kind of bad acting that…

“From Justin to Kelly” to “Li’l Sweet.” Guy’s hung on longer than other runners up. (I think; stopped watching AI after S3.)

Exactly,  sucks that you were stuck in a contract but people are forced to do things that are not their passion every damn day.  Its called working, it sucks but its what allows most of us to at least afford some of our passions

especially when she signed a reality television contract to try and get rich and famous and then when she won suddenly cared deeply about her artistic integrity? if you cared that much, don’t sign the contract and go back to singing coffee shops on open mic night

We could have had the Idol Cinematic Universe (or I.C.U.) by now, but nooooo.

I want a Sanjaya/Scott Savol remake of “The Odd Couple”.

I’d certainly be happy to spend a few months starring in a wacky beach blanket musical rather than sit at my desk and stare at spreadsheets. lol

He’s too busy rolling in that sweet Diet Dr Pepper money to care.

“I just don’t find it very cool that somebody makes you do something that is not your passion and you don’t want to do.”

It would’ve been some weird version of a Bing Crosby/ Bob Hope road movie musical, except with a whole lot more hidden food and secret truck stop hook-ups.

I wish they’d made a rushed musical with the Idol winner and runner-up from every season afterwards, if only because I desperately want to know what premise they would’ve come up with for a Reuben Studdard/Clay Aiken vehicle.

Alex Shipp.... isn’t she the biracial girl who refused to acknowledge light skin privilege and mixed privilege? If that’s her she should have rightfully been told to have several seats. Not all opinions are valid. She added nothing to the discussion but a display of her own shallowness and lack of understanding.

Sidenote: I remember when this issue was confronted years ago on the late lamented “Frank’s Place” in the episode entitled “Frank Joins the Club” in which Frank (Tim Reid) is asked to join an exclusive black club in New Orleans. He thinks it’s an honor but the rest of the restaurant staff (black mainly) are kind of…

Well, as soon as light-skinned folks stop denying and lying about their privilege, the conversation can move forward. Like poor whites who deny their pivilege by lamenting who their prents were, how hard they work, and how they’ve never received ANYTHING, it is infuriating!

But the denials on Colorism in the Black community are telling. Not that it doesn’t exist within the latinos and Asians as well. And this “We’re all Black” thing that keeps being stated sounds suspiciously similar to “We’re all human.” And, “Dark-skinned hated me because I was light and pretty,” is nothing but the…
