You should expand and write about your experiences from the other side of the interview table. Maybe create a kind of Linkedin in reverse. Most companies are very poor at selecting candidates. They need someone to give some constructive criticism on this critical business function. <br /> Your site automatically filters out the cog-like positions that are a waste of time for someone as creative as yourself.

We get things done. How can I get you to work with us from Dallas? www.cause-an-effect.co.uk Any ideas?<br /><br />Or perhaps you can reach out to my brother founder at www.nicecollective.com (ian), he is always in need of a GTD person.<br /><br />Love the approach. It must be grand, b/c you have folks loving / hating it. At least its not boring.<br /><br />*eeoc comment is hilarious. i worked there for a stint while at Northeastern U. and learned that the entire system is either broken or badly misunderstood and subsequently implemented.

Too late for that! :-) Look, I&#39;ve worked with lots of women over the years. I&#39;ve worked with lots of guys. In a working relationship, the odds are just better for me to work well with a guy.<br /><br />I would run away from working with a clone of me - male or female version. Because the best working (and other) relationships are also with people who complement each other, not copy each other.lewisterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16581991395965714999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652927376374214758.post-28345325017202915772009-06-05T08:17:03.609-05:002009-06-05T08:17:03.609-05:00Nice site. I like the cartoon face...did you design that yourself?<br /><br />The part about just working for a man is actually a fairly controversial statement to make in a job process...and likely colored more by your personal experiences than reality. <br /><br />Hypothetically, if your clone wanted to hire you, wouldn&#39;t you work for her? And if not, what does that say about your ability to work with other women in general?<br /><br />I&#39;d personally rethink that stance -- or at minimum keep those views private. Consider -- if some men don&#39;t want to work for women, and some women don&#39;t want to work for women, it gets harder for women to get to the top, ne?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652927376374214758.post-52527197894135492922009-06-04T17:07:44.716-05:002009-06-04T17:07:44.716-05:00Susan - I&#39;m not certain when you launched your search for a boss, but I bet you&#39;re swimming in offers.

Totally weird, but that was one of the things I figured out when I started thinking about what I wanted.<br /><br />@bhny - Not applicable to me. The laws apply to the company doing the hiring.
