    Dear Nina,

    You just violated our non disclosure agreement, that you signed before you took on that little job. You disclosed our patent-pending form filling procedure. Expect a call from our lawyers Boolle, Chit and Moore.

    have a nice day,
    J. Butttalker

    I hate coming in for an interview and being asked to fill out an application. You have my resume! All this information is on my resume!

    I prefer to go w/the Congressional Bill mentality: You MUST hire me, THEN I'll show you what's in my resume....

    Re: Re:

    I think the "must approve so we can see what's in it" is evidence that congress simply rubber stamps that which is written by PACs, special interests, etc.

    Jobz

    Employers are so far behind the curve it's amazing they hire anyone. Risk Assessment, as applied to hiring, has essentially crippled business. Luckily, one can still get a CEO position, fail, then walk away with millions! FUBAR...I think so.
