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.

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
"I don't have a problem with girls because I used to be one."
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" :lulz:
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.
looks like it 's academic now, as I seem to have my pick of a couple jobs.
go team Hustle.
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.
Wait, you're qualified to be a sous-chef?

Seriously. It takes talent you can't even imagine to burn top ramen.
:lulz:
listen, not just anyone can burn top ramen.
srsly though, I'm qualified to be a head chef (and have been one before) but I've decided that a few extra grand a year isn't worth the 60+ hour work weeks and the dealing with endless bullshit. For now. In a year or three, I'll get the bug again.
This is the correct "let the head chef deal with headaches" approach to kitchen work.

Considering the current financial situations of most small businesses, hopefully you'll get a job that you actually will get PAID at.
-Suu: Didn't get all of her tips on Friday because the drawer was short and no paycheck either.
-Suu's brother, also a sous-chef: hasn't seen a real paycheck in a month, has been given wads of cash, but it's not enough and he's about to burn down his kitchen.
nah, one of these jobs is corporate so no problem there, the other one has been around for 70 years and 30 years in it's current incarnation and has a very strong clientele base, so no problem there either.
It's apparently got the best food of any gay bar in town and is a destination restaurant for any gay casual diner who comes to PDX. Niche markets are a good gig to be in given the current economic climate.
So....you'll be a superstar...at the gay bar?

:mittens:
yes. yes I will.
and at risk of promoting a stereotype, in my experience older gay men are more into being foodies and will make a point to reward a restaurant with word-of-mouth advertising if that restaurant consistently gives them good food and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're gonna pick a niche clientele to pin your restaurant's financial hopes on, that's the one you want to pick.
also, their beer league softball team is two-time defending league champs, and RCH can swing a muthafuckin' bat, yo.
also also, they have really well-done shaded pencil drawings all over the walls of bears in various states of undress. I imagine the looks on the faces of the occasional accidental straight guy who comes in for a beer and notices them are pretty fucking priceless.
Right on.
O O O O pick that one!
Now I want to visit Washington state.
OK, but when you do you should also come visit me...in Oregon.
I still think you should go on Hell's Kitchen and kick Gordon Ramsey's ass......
But seriously good job. I hope you get to choose, that's a lot more fun.

I love Gordon Ramsey. I'd win that show for sure if I got picked for it, mostly because being screamed at wouldn't bother me in the slightest, but I can't imagine any scenario that would lead to me wanting to kick his ass.

don't even bother replying to him. I'm just going to delete that anytime I see it anywhere outside one of the WillFAIL threads.

I went a step further. He's banned, pending your veto. He PMed me, stating an intent to spam every thread he could. I see no reason to allow this.

Ah, disregard my PM then. I was going to mention a certain repetitive streak in his posting, but it seems I've been beaten to the punch.
that's OK, I would have banned him immediately myself had I seen the contents of the PM he sent me after I started deleting his spam.
not that I take a death threat from that kind of assclown seriously, but it's not like I was looking for an excuse to keep him hanging around either.

Careful. He ranges between 6'4" and 6'6" depending on what day of the week it is, and he hangs out with Hells Angels. No, really, he told me this.
translation: he's watched way too many "Sons of Anarchy" reruns on Hulu.

Don't forget he's a Turkish WASP, because that goes together like bread and butter.
RCH, if you get a job at the gay bar I will SO come eat there!
