Online Job Application Systems

Whoever designs these new online job application systems should have to complete the process 100 times before they subject others to it.

I find them incredibly annoying. One size does not fit all. You would not ask the same interviews questions of a CEO and a clerk, yet doing so in a web form is okay. And things like giving you a small text box (about 100 characters) to "Describe your duties" seems dumb to me. Twitter gives you more characters! And don't get me started about duplicating the information in a resume in these same web forms.

Thanks

Thanks to the person (or persons - I can't see any information on who is ordering) for using my Amazon link. I really appreciate the support.

Mark Dean Returns

Pretty cool... Computer scientist and IBM Fellow, Mark Dean returns to UT. He worked on the ISA bus, early keyboard, and was part of a team working on the first 1 Gig processors.

Comments

So, I'm not really ignoring you guys... I just realized I've not been getting e-mails when someone posts a comment. Guess I'll work on fixing that and working through all the ones I've missed.

Baojie BJ-9900: 409Shop

Thanks to Ken who let me know that the 409Shop has the Baojie BJ-9900 (or BJ9900) on sale for $250 including shipping.

Previous posts about the 9900 are here. I looked back at my posts and saw that Hans was going to get a sample, so a) he didn't get it, b) I missed his review, or c) he got trapped under something heavy and we need to help him out so he can get back to posting reviews.

I hope it isn't the last one.
