Awwww yeah!

Awwwww yeah! I've polished off my f-bombs and I'm back with some great stuff to bitch about. In particular another fucking retarded Yahoo HotJobs article. This one is about things not to do at a job interview: Send a follow-up "thx 4 mtg" text message. Kristin Terdik, inside sales support director of Technekes in Charlotte, N.C., laments the lost art of professional thank-you notes that feature actual words on real paper: "Candidates directly out of school think they can send you a text message or an invitation to a social networking site, and that counts as a thank-you note," she says. "It doesn't count, but so many entry-level people are doing it now I'm forced to cut them some slack." Um, how about a FUCK YOU txt? Lulz. See, I'm expected to send you a written "thanks for your time and the interview, I look forward to discussing the position with you further" letter. But I guaran-fucking-tee that your company won't be bothered to EVER tell me that you hired someone else, or "went another direction." So I'll just sit around waiting, knowing that I made a better impression than the 19 year old who jst txtd u kthxbai… but you'll hire them anyway because he's the boss' nephew's neighbor. Spam your resume. Maria McGuinness, a hiring manager for a small manufacturer in central New York, says that too many applicants repeatedly apply for the same position and cite different websites where the job was posted. Other managers are annoyed when candidates apply for every position in the company--both behaviors cause unnecessary work for hiring managers. "While I realize the job market is tight and people are desperate, spamming your resume is a very bad idea," McGuinness says Really? Then why don't you not spam the fucking job boards with the same fucking position? Seriously, I've seen the same job posted six times in a week. See, you think it's a good idea to bump your job opening by reposting. But to me, it's just fucking annoying because I have to sort past it every time I see it. So, now the shoe's on the other foot and you have to sort past each of the resumes that I sent in for each different job board you posted to.  Come with your own beverages. Many hiring managers dislike it when people bring their own take-out cups of coffee to drink during an interview, according to career strategist Barbara Safani. It can come across as far too informal. And if you bring a child's Hello Kitty lunch box containing utensils to brew your own tea, as one candidate did when meeting Terdik, you will be memorable--but not in a good way. So you'd prefer that I either be thirsty during my interview with you (which would be distracting to me) or you want me to assume that you'll provide the beverage. I'm sure this is a no-win. And the hello-kitty lunchbox thing is fucking awesome. It shows that the applicant isn't another fucking drone, you fucking drone. Goddamn I hate these Yahoo HotJobs articles.
