I was reading about the dot com bubble and lol

there's a penny stock company that has no products

they've been in business since the 80s and hadn't made a profit ever, the only revenue coming from designing various technical gizmos over the years nobody's ever heard of

they changed their name to e.Digital Corporation in 1999 and the stock price went from .06 to 25 dollars in January 2000 and back to .07 a month later

they're still in business and still have no products. I think they're a patent troll these days.

at least pets.com et al purported to have a product at some point

reading about interviewing for tech jobs (http://lizmrush.com/on-interviewing/ thanks to tef's blog for the link) and wondering how the gently caress you would address something like 'i left this position because my manager hit on me' or 'i left this position because it was near impossible to be productive when my only coworker didnt take me seriously as a woman'
not that i really want to go back into computers but lol how do you even address that without raising "red flags" for being 'over-sensitive' or something like that

it's pretty ridiculous to say that instead of saying sexual harassment you should lie about why you left

basically, tell the truth. if they think it's a problem they were a poo poo company in the first place

yeah you should be completely honest with everyone all the time

by all means, when the interviewer asks you about how your day is going, tell her about your hemorrhoids

Wheeee!
never bad-mouth your previous company in a interview imo
frame it in terms of what you're looking for in the new job

if your previous boss smoked crack at work and held klan meetings in the lunch room, maybe you're looking for a professional work atmosphere with good management to help you grow as a professional, and you feel your interpersonal skills are better applied at a more diverse workplace

if there was a huge public scandal you can add meaningful pauses for the interviewer to nod sympathetically in

the hardest for me was when i interviewed once and the interviewer started talking about how they loved epic megasystems

i managed to avoid saying that job quite literally nearly killed me but it was a close one

definitely didn't take that job though

the most fun you can have interviewing is when you already have a job you like

then you just go to the interview and basically say "ok, impress me"

I do this, but with unemployment and an over-inflated sense of self-worth.
