I’m in the same position as you - not a hiring manager but I do interviews for my company - both cultural and technical for the role I do for my company. Not once in the year I’ve been doing this has anyone sent me anything. And even if they had or hadn’t it wouldn’t change my mind about them. They either make the cut…

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…

Yup. The ONLY time I’d send an email would be if I had something to clarify, as that would make the email worthwhile.

Not a hiring manager, but I am involved in interviews and hiring in my department. I’ve had people send notes, and if anything, I’m less likely to want to go with the people sending notes. I’ve yet to read one that didn’t come across as unctuous or a waste of time. The waste of time ones (things like a quick e-mail…

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.

I got a card in the mail once. All I could think of was why they wasted their time.

I get enough notes and emails. Please don’t send me more. I’m quite aware you are happy you got an interview.

Good thing you aren’t a Cubs fan.  GO CARDINALS!

Philadelphia: getting your cheesesteak with Swiss.

Not really because of the aforementioned ‘cant’ charge and listen to music at the same time’ thing. The official dongle only lets me do one or the other, not both. There are third party dongles out there, but they’re mostly crap as I’ve burnt (literally in one case) through 4 of’em so far.

You can afford $1000 phones but not a car that comes with bluetooth standard? 

If you want to move everyone to Bluetooth, you *HAVE* to make bigger batteries. I listen to podcasts a lot (for other people, it’s music, but same effect). If I listen with earbuds, I can go all day. If I listen with Bluetooth headphones, I can’t.

Yeah. I was also highly irritated at the exclusion of the headphone jack, mostly because it’s all I’ve known since I started using corded headphones with my Walkman in 1983. Several years and five pairs of bluetooth headphones later, I’m extremely happy without them and give it zero additional thought- and especially…

The only time I regret having Bluetooth headphones is when I’m flying...which is frequent. I ooze with jealousy when I see people plug their noise cancelling cans into the headphone jack for the in flight entertainment. Meanwhile I am left using the worst headphones on the planet for the same purpose...would a dongle…

I wouldn’t say they nailed it. They just forced it. Headphone jacks are absolutely still viable, this isn’t the move from VCRs to DVDs, this is just taking a Swiss army knife and removing one of the many knives that the company making the knives deemed to be no longer necessary.

apple did the exact opposite of nailing the transition

I’m pretty sure that I don’t know how to use a broom. I think I’m fine at sweeping and I’m unclear what I’m doing wrong, but people get puzzled looks when they see me using one and I have had multiple people take brooms away from me and show me how it’s done. It’s always concerned me that people are too polite to…

True. They’re unlikely to re-route you on a different airline. But the airlines will re-route you through a different hub on their own network. Flying SFO to MSP United might send you through DIA or ORD instead of IAH to get you out on the same day.   Not so good if you wanted to get off in Houston.

Ever hear how many native New Yorkers have never been to the Statue of Liberty because it's for tourists?  Rock Hall is our version.

For one thing, they usually aren’t messing with the TV itself. The incidents tend to happen in bedrooms, when the TV is on a dresser, and the kids are climbing the drawers to get something on top of the dresser.
