That sounds sorta like those med school students who finish their experiments first then "accidentally" turn out the lights on the rest of the class.

Shit. I should try this.

It's a doggie dog world.

It's only bad if, once they are flagged as spam, you then set up an almost identical job listings, and then report every email account who sends you a resume to their providers as being spam accounts.

I love you cutthroat mercenaries

reminds me of the scene in Mrs. Doubtfire, where robin williams is trying to get hired as a nanny,
so before his application, he applies like nine or ten times as perverts, people with anger issues, and other whackjobs

Guys do that with personals ads on Craigslist... reply and then flag it as spam. I think it's pretty typical practice, but when that happens I throw out the last few replies before my ad was flagged because odds are it was one of them. That, also, is pretty typical practice.

The thing is, a lot of the time when a company is actually advertising for a position it's because of legal requirements or internal policy to make the job publicly available and take a certain number of applicants, and they already have someone in mind to fill the position, so reducing the number of applicants right off the bat just delays the inevitable.

I'm so sick of Craigslist. I was just on Snagajob and put in a few apps. Then I realized that I'm going away for most of December. So much for that. Lol.

this is going to peg me as a turbo-geek

but in one of the LARPs I play, "snaga" is the orcish word for "slave race"

Well it IS a site just for hourly positions. Take that as you will.

Oddly enough, my company does the exact opposite of that. They have to post the job on the internal website and then completely ignore anyone who applies. They always hire someone outside instead.

Cool,congrats RCH

well, I nailed both interviews, anyway. I'm 98% sure that one place is gonna offer me the Sous Chef position and that I'd probably be the head chef in a year or two. I'm 95% sure that I'm gonna be one of the 3 finalists for the other job and get a 2nd interview on Monday and it was suggested to me that I was interviewed first because they felt that my resume was the strongest out of all the applicants. That's a sweet corporate gig with plenty of creative flexibility and the opportunity to be the "global chef" who works with a different ethnic or regional cuisine every week at the prime expo station (translation: I get to put on a show) with an eye towards replacing the Sous Chef when he gets promoted and my own eventual Head Chef gig at one of the private college or corporate campuses within 5 years. Also, great benefits. And cool burnt-orange and grey color scheme for the chef unis.

[President Television]

Wait, you're qualified to be a sous-chef?

Seriously. It takes talent you can't even imagine to burn top ramen.
