B.O.B??

Have you met Mima? ;)

But funny! :p ;) Thought maybe after that she would have learned. It's been what, 8 years?

Time to move out. I think there is an empty room around the corner...

True, but she's my grandma. I don't want to think about her sex life, and I don't want her surmising about my own. And leaving it out. For what felt like the world to see. In the bathroom. Next to the sink. Seriously. Maybe she thought I didn't know... Nevermind.

Battery. Operated. Boyfriend.

:blush:

I'm a surprising mix of modest and mouthy.

Preach it brother.

Here's a good one: Anyone can just walk into the front door of our building and walk into our test lab with millions of dollars' worth of equipment without a single obstacle. At MOST, if you take a more direct route, you have to scan your badge twice.

Compare that to...getting to the shower room of our little gym. It's 2 badge scans at minimum, 4 badge scans for the most direct route.

As for resume length, I've had people try to "teach" me that in the tech industry, > 1 page is the new standard. I refuse to buy that and always keep it to 1 page (though I thankfully haven't had to make use of it in over 2 years, knock on metal).

Coworkers who cause my moral alarm clock to ring. If you are going to do bad stuff, stop doing it in front of me!

I can only wish my moral alarm also had a clock, I might not always be late to the race track.

What about it science?

The average time the hiring person looks at a resume for the first scan is 30 seconds. Make it easy to read and scan and only talk about the thing that apply to the position you are looking at.

ahhhhh.....I see.:p

Re: Resumes -

The automated review of resumes has prompted the growth of resume length. In some large companies (like the one I happen to work for). Resumes are scaned, OCRed, and then key word searched to match the job criteria - the more and better buzz words you use, the better the chance of getting a "hit" so that an actual human will be engaged. So in a way two different documents are required as a "resume" 1) to pass the automated screener - common font, lots of text, no line, common bond paper (if it can be scanned it gets tossed as a paper jam); 2) A pretty, 1-page resume, with lots of white space, bullets, and texture, to present in person (or direct mailed) to the people likely to be doing the hiring. The second is probably most important, but HR has claimed often enough that the candidate inquired about "never submitted a resume." So it goes in my workplace.

At my workplace you can't even submit a paper resume. You're directed to an online form where you enter all of the information that might go on a resume. You can attach a word or PDF document of your resume but I know from experience that it is pretty much ignored (my hiring manager had never seen mine, just the online form).
