So I'm trying to catch up on my 3-job-apps-a-day-on-my-vacation vow (so far I am 1 for 12 - woohoo!). One undisclosed company's job submission site asks you to submit your resume, then they ask a barrage of questions including "What is your work phone number?", "What is your current department?", "What is your manager's name and phone number?"
Halfway through the questions I started to read them in the Bridgekeeper's voice... "WHAT... is your current job title?" "WHAT... is your current work location?" "WHAT... is your quest?"
I think that officially means that I'm a geek. In addition to all the other reasons that qualify me.
If you were applying to tech jobs, that means you're well qualified.
ReplyDeleteBut bear in mind that, with geekiness in the ascendancy in this Information Age, there are far greater breadths and depths of it than before. Monty Python and Star Wars don't prove a thing anymore. Look instead to UPN, the Sci-Fi channel, and Japanese tentacle porn for offerings that even geeks find geeky.
Have you ever missed an episode of Stargate or Voyager? The acceptable full-geek answers are "no" and "only for tentacle porn."
