Nah.

I'm just not a fan of people, as a general rule.

Is this like some gay public bathroom slang I don't know about?

You can read me like a book

yes yes ignore me swag

Exactly. I think I will just not mention anything and be very vague, unless she asks me directly for improvement tips. Even then I might disguise it as something along the lines of "you seemed under-prepared, so perhaps next time spend a bit more time practising possible answers". I hate being the bad guy at these things.

Short and simple is best. The candidate may tune out anyway. I honestly would only offer suggestions -- and being clear that I was just offering independent interviewing tips that weren't critical factors in the decision -- if you had a rapport with the person that made that comfortable. If it's about getting the job done of passing the news, I would keep my mouth shut on that -- but that's just me.

You can read me like a book

With well-thumbed pages.

Neither did I. I want to hear the bitch sing, okay?

Fine.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks, Greg.

Fine.

Gonna go check out some putters at lunch today

Get yourself an Odyssey White Hot.

Had mine for about ten years and love the thing.

Or get one of these monstrosities if you have $600 burning a hole in your pocket:

I just got one of these lads for free

Fucking heavy old lump, old school style.

Heavy putters are the way forward.

Hi Janna! How are you? Sounds like your internship is going well.

I apologize... I missed seeing your earlier post:

Hello Teddy

How are you?
do you know what I am making in the oven right now?

(I am not used to being called 'Teddy' -- FB forced me in that direction. )

I am OK. I feel pretty good about turning down that job offer this week. Weird... it was kind of like resigning on legitimate grounds before I even started on the job. What sucks is the process in my field takes a long time -- this was the result of a 7-week ordeal to get this far to an offer. I have a couple of other things in the works, and lately they seem more appealing. Getting antsy to get back to working again, but it should be the right opportunity.

OK... what are you making in the oven right now?

Is it Italian?

Is it covered in pizza sauce?

Is it cheesy?

Must be Silvio Berlusconi. His home is in the oven, you know.

Soooooo sad to be leaving the chi town

Not half has sad as all of the Johns you are leaving behind, I'm sure.






















I'm sorry. I saw the door you left open, and walked right in

I have to call a candidate now and tell them that they didn't get the job. If they ask for feedback is it okay if I tell them that next time they should avoid using the word "like" five times per sentence?

I would expect an honest feedback if I failed an interview.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

bazinga! @ sergio

and dru if tennis is for fags what does that make golf?

 

[swag]

God, Janna just gave me an idea for an awesome new thread: "Who Is In Your Oven Right Now?"

 

[swag]

I would expect an honest feedback if I failed an interview.

But you also have to ask for it. If someone is genuinely looking for how they could improve, I'd offer suggestions -- but keeping clear that there are some things that aren't debatable about their qualifications for the job. Some candidates can use this as a technique to get information and use it against the prospective employer with multiple "but..."s. You don't want to go there.

And then again, some candidates honestly don't want to hear the feedback too -- you can't assume.

And you're welcome, Kate.

Of course subjective analysis of your ability to answer subjective questions is something I can understand not wanting to hear.

Hearing 'we though you lack XYZ' is quite upsetting when you, in fact, lack none of them.

She's got a cousin
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me

Is this the Bangalore job you were referring to?

 

[Buck Fuddy]

So you're saying Seven was right!?

I guess so.

Anyway, death toll now at 7 it seems.
