  1. do you guys put your address on your resume? do you think employers discriminate interviewing people who live in the ‘burbs and have a longer commute (thus less likely to work overtime on short notice) or develop preconceived ideas about a person based on the nabe they live in?

  2. I once interviewed a kid who had “High School Computer Club” on his resume. I asked him about it and his response was:

    “Well, the computer club was really just a bunch of my friends who would hang out and blow things up…..and then the neighbors cat would be missing.”

  3. Legion, you didnt sabataged that dude by saying:

    1) he looking to take your gig
    2) he likely has god complex
    3) betchya he didnt even notice and complemented how good that tie, shirt, and haircut combo was; again, he got god complex

  4. I once had a mentor at Bell Labs who was a bit of a whack job (he was the mad genius type) and always irreverent.

    He liked to tell the story of when he interviewed for some scientific fellowship. The person conducting the interview was none other than Edward Teller, the “Father of the H-bomb”. When my mentor walked into the room, he shook Teller’s hand, looked him in the eye and said, “Nice bomb!”.
