Interview
Response of the
Month
We had to deny a
candidate the opportunity to start up his computer and run us
through a PowerPoint presentation. After several requests,
we allowed him to start it up. Unfortunately for him, his
computer would not start up since it was too cold from being in
his car. Minutes later, he finally gave up and asked us,
“You still like me, don’t you?”

Proven Resumes
You might have noticed the
"lowlight" description above. We decided to
illustrate a
somewhat sinister aspect of hiring...embellished resumes.
These services provide candidates with enhancements to their
resume. We are all for highly presentable resumes, but as
you have seen, the candidate's aptitudes, skills, motivations
and style are far more indicative of future success. A
well worded, eye-catching resume should always be taken with a
grain of salt.
