Huge thanks to Annie for reminding me about Monday Fighter! And I have enough for the next month or so…if I remember to post them…
This week has been…errgh…but to be explained later. In the meantime:
“Michael Vick tried to deny and stonewall, but at the last owned up and admitted what he did. That’s dignity.”
That is the last straw. I am now officially finished using the Internet. Good-bye.
Unfortunately, we’re looking for a candidate who doesn’t try their hardest.
A perfect example of why to understand the job you’re applying for. This even goes beyond misspelling “iLife” and “iMovie”…
We openly laugh at wanna-bes who actually consider Word, Excel, and Outlook to be “programming skills”. Maybe unless they actually did some VBA scripting or something. Being able to create a spreadsheet is not exactly why we need to hire someone.
After a hiatus, it’s time for Monday Fighter! to make its return. I actually have a few more fortune cookies left, but keep on forgetting to scan them, so it’ll take a different approach this week.
Our company is currently looking to fill an entry-level computer programmer position, and many of the resumés have certainly gotten themselves noticed.
To his credit, this applicant did not brag about his skills in Bisual Vasic. Nonetheless, it was apparent that “fluent” may not be the best word to describe his English proficiency.
Even so, we would have taken one of him instead of an army of this applicant. Simply put, there is no snide remark or sarcastic gesture ample enough for a proper response.
