Adventures in selling out.
Today I registered for on campus recruiting.
I had to wait ten minutes while some idiot asked obvious questions about how to bid for interviews - which I already knew the answers to because I had just read some stupid page about it.
"Hi, I'd like to fill out an intent to participate form for on campus recruiting."
"Have you signed up online for jobtrak?"
"Yes, I've signed up on jobtrak and I read the page describing how interviewtrak works and the bidding process."
"But have you watched the video yet?"
"No, I haven't watched the video but the site specifically said that you could watch the video or read the web page about the interviewtrak system instead."
"Yeah, the thing is, we're really encouraging everyone to watch the video before we allow them to fill out the intent to partcipate form."
"But I read the page. I understand how to use the system."
"Do you have some sort of deadline you're trying to make?"
"No. I just don't want to watch the video."
"Here, you can sign up to watch the video, there's time slots open Thursday and Friday and then I'll give you the form."
"Well, how about I fill out the form now, and not watch the video?"
Supervisor enters.
"It's just we've been having a lot of problems with people who said they read the site, and then they come back and ask us a bunch of questions that were already answered in the video..."
"I've read the page. How about I fill out the form now, and if I have any questions, I'll go watch the video."
"I guess that would be ok."
Why can't selling out be easier? Why is everyone giving me a hard time?
And isn't this supposed to be a weblog, not some lame ass journal? Errr... I said I was going to take a break from blueblog this week... but blogger is so good I refuse to use anything else.
Hey, sucking up got riothero on blogger's front page. Maybe if I suck up enough to ev I could work for pyra this summer and not have to interview with evil, soul less corporations.
So... err... I like blogger and pyra. I want to be like ev and meg if I grow up.
Theory - all moping college webloggers have the same basic design.

And yes, if you have an obscure, unread weblog, linking to me may guarantee a little butt loving return link - but it definitely won't guarantee you any more traffic.
