It's not just that article, it's my own real world experience to. Maybe it's different in technical fields that aren't as personal. As far as I know there isn't as much interaction with people as with many other career fields. I know for a fact, not just from that article, but places I have worked feel the same way. My current manager sees so much into the respect candidates show, it's almost a must for them. But it's all good, i'm sure you will find something that pays extremely well. I have a few connections at microsoft out here in washington if you want to broaden your experiences.

Had I sent a card, it wouldn't have even got there yet. And here we are, I already know I didin't get the position.

what kind of job hires you on the spot without interviewing other people, or at least taking the time to consider the options?

lol

i hire hookers on the spot if its a good enough deal...
no need to shop around

 

[posol]

Most places won't hire anyone on the spot, unless you're the absolute last appointment they have.

 

[TurboMirage]

i make good money we've been through this before.

 

[reikoshea]

i was hired on the spot for all of my jobs....but im REALLY good at interviewing. Actually...im really good at talking period.

 

[dveit]

Yeah, and clearly do it too much.

 

[smarty009]

ive been hired on the spot on most of my interviews as well...we talk and then they are all like..."ok..i like you..you start on such and such day...thank you!"...lol

but i have had one or two interviews that ended with..."ok...we will give you a call and let you know if you are THE candidate we need"...and i always take that as a no...lol
