I agree with this. Part of the reasons I became an independent is because I got tired of getting really good technical interviews, and failing with HR with such questions as "aren't you a bit young for this job?" "But... will you fit in? Why do you think you will", or worse, "hmmm, the way you are answering in this interview shows discrepancies with your personality test.". In an era where companies put a lot of efforts for tactical and operational staff to align every thing they do with the company strategic goals , I am always surprised that we hire people who excel at doing well in interviews over people who can actually the job the job we need them to. -- Yves. http://www.SollerS.ca/ xmpp:y...@zioup.com _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
