]]> Comment on When bad interviewers strike (featuring: a helping of constructive criticism and anecdotes) by Elea http://in-essence.org/elea/20110211/when-bad-interviewers-strike/comment-page-1/#comment-524 Elea Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:24:25 +0000 http://in-essence.org/elea/?p=524#comment-524 I think some places just have poor screening processes (or even worse, none at all). Not that it makes the experience any more fun for anyone. But I've definitely had interviews where the person/team was clearly looking at my resume for the first time, and I'd guess that at least a few times, that's what happened with you as well?

In a somewhat similar vein, if they're going to reject me based on years of experience, don't call me in for the interview in the first place! They'd seen my resume and were totally aware of my experience, yet I was asked questions that I obviously wasn't qualified to answer. I went to soooo many interviews that I never could have won and that's just a colossal waste of everyone's time. Hear hear!

So obviously I never comment :P Mainly I don't really post there anymore, aside from pimping my picture from a recent trip or to wish someone happy birthday. Other than that, it's a great way to stealthily stalk old acquaintances I am no longer in touch with. :P Or you know, even people I am in touch with. One thing though I drew the line at, was twitter. I don't see a reason for signing up for an account. It's unprofessional to rant about clients anyway, and there's nothing else that I'd want to write short "blog posts" about. Hehe, lol at the "dying" part. RIP Elea *sniff sniff sniff* XD I noticed that too, that some site I frequent have me automatically logged in to Facebook (because I have the autologin activated), and if I comment it’d link it to my FB profile.

I refuse to vote in anything that requires a FB account, refuse to sign in with that account, refuse for anything to be connected with my account except what I post on it myself or what my friends post directly to me. I find the whole site horribly creepy, but I know that I would lose contact with some friends or miss out on parties if I wasn't readily available by my shining FB profile. It's sad, but it's true. Maybe one day I will grow out of it, but I can't easily fathom it. Facebook has indeed taken over the world.

Well, I'm out of luck then. ;) Photos besides the one in the entry? I guess I didn't specify that it was me, did I? I do have a few that I haven't posted on the internets. Harajuku isn't really cosplay, because it's more about dressing to express your individualism, but I definitely got mistaken for anime a lot! Amazing posts? Well, I’m out of luck then. ;)

You just have to have really amazing posts to make up for it XD Not that I do... but I always intend to ;) Do you have any pictures? I always love seeing those "cosplay" type of getups. If I ever go to Japan, I think I'll be doing a lot of staring :P Haha, as someone who blogs about twice a year (we’re not talking about this month), I think they are both… acceptable.
