Hey, that addresses one issue--if you've got braids in it it looks like you _mean_ to have it. One dealkiller IMO is the guys who show up with the kind of beard that looks like they forgot to shave. I didn't forget to shave, I just haven't ... My girlfriend likes my beard. I'm afraid to tell her, I didn't so much "grow a beard" as "not shave" for six months. -- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |

Yesterday I had a discussion with a manager of a group of four people about 'interview skill'. She told me that her most valuable employees are precisely those that interviewed the *worst*. She has two in particular that are smart, hard working, trustworthy and valuable. The first is not particularly articulate in an interview setting and the second insisted on asking questions about benefits and vacation time! I think the interview appeals to our Western Linear Thinking. Unfortunately it may not be nearly as valuable as we think it is. --Winston |

Winston, academic research agrees with you in that interviews are usually worthless. What I try to do at interviews is to gauge the technical skill of the applicant. i |

So tiny braids in the greybeard is prpbably not on? --Winston Nor is a pony tail and a gold skull and crossbones pierced earring? All depends. I heard of a guy who wrote out his resume in pencil, on a kid's tablet. Went to the interview in jeans, tee shirt, and articulated 'Day of the Dead' skeleton earring (back when such things were still fringe.) I understand he did rake out the beard and pony tale. They hired him, at 60k. In 1984 dollars. But then again, they were head hunting him; they wanted him. They were willing to put up with any "personal quirks" to get his skills. I suspect he did it that away, too see if they could work with someone of his high geekiness. I have learned that in some areas, the person you 'want' has, sometimes, has .... "unique" personality traits. They do the job really, really, really well ... but on their terms or not at all. Like the guy who got the promotion to the outside office. Which he promptly covered in tin foil, to block the sunshine - he did all programming by the light of the monitor. Unfortunately, I don't have those sorts of mad skills, so I have to act like normal people. -- pyotr filipivich Friends help you move, good friends help you move bodies.
