Common sense should be a taught subject in schools these days. :(
It never will though.... it will just be renamed uncommon sense.Quote:

I want to know what they've worked on why they thought it was really cool; I want to see some passion and enthusiasm, not some drummed up words that anyone can write.
Lets see... from what i've seen...
Motivated - I only want the job for the money
Extensive Experience - I've done this job at least once in the past
Innovative - I will make my colleagues' life hell in new and ingenious ways
Proven Track Record - I've done this job at least once in the past and didn't completely mess it up
Dynamic - Will get on your nerves at the end of the first week
Team Player - I only work in a team when I'm the boss
Proactive - I go off on random tangents and don't do what I'm supposed to
Entrepreneurial - I take risks and will most likely lose you money
Skill Set - Master of BS Buzzwords
Problem Solver - I will invent problems to solve
Good article, Scott, but for using that last sentence, even in jest, THIS should happen to you :P.
I did feel dirty writing it :puke:Quote:
