I used to work at CitiMortgage, part of Citigroup, so it's also a MAJOR company. The 'uncomfortable feeling' rule was stressed there also in training.
I think they scare the crap out of people in the harassment training and then your direct bosses are more lenient hopefully because they are real people.
...and now you are scared of talking to those three women, and since such a large percentage of your life is spent at work you might as well give up hope.
not only that but after you go through that (plus add in all the stuff they had in college) you feel like you'll never be able to talk to or touch a girl again
I'm one of the scared guys too. From the discouraging sexual harassment training at work and everything else I always hear in the news etc, it seems like I will be single the rest of my life.
This sounds a bit like Computer Learning/ AI to me. Give it a zillion past cases to learn from and then let it predict the next one. I did some things along those lines in my AI class for machine problems (perceptron comes to mind), though not nearly as complicated. That was a fun CS class.
That's a bit mean:) Some people are non-techies and need techies to not just do techie work but figure out what is needed as well. Small companies are like that.
Yes, have more than one resume, for different things. One can be more generalized with wordy explanations of some bigger projects and another can have lots of raw info like skill x y z etc. grouped by categories, with very brief explanations of some past projects. Then you can specialize further focusing on certain skills and using your other skills as extras.
I just got a new job:) using my hardcore raw data resume version. At one point I had been told I was overqualified a few times and most other times got nothing back at all. It was crazy. I couldn't get a job and yet I had been "overqualified" for some.
Another big thing is "networking". I hate that hiring based on knowing people instead of just whether they would be a good employee or not. It helps if someone at the company knows you.
Smart people should know that jealousy, laziness etc. don't help them at all, and shouldn't be that way. I'd say it's part of being smart, my definition at least.
That doesn't seem to stop anyone from shorting, at least the professional scammers and hedge funds. Everyone (SEC) lets them get away with it too, so I wish I could get in a hedge fund because they are the ones making money at the expense of regular investors.
I remember reading an article in which the owner of a company had every single stock certificate that was issued in his posession and yet millions continued to trade each day.

ever heard of Overstock.com OSTK, or Novastar Financial NFI? plenty of stocks are victims. There are now a zillion imaginary shares in the market, and nobody has to own up to them.
U.S. Rep. David Weldon, R-Indialantic, has earmarked money in the NASA budget for hand-picked projects in Brevard, Florida.
Someone tell them there is no state of Indialantic and kick this clown out of the Congress. Ok well his stuff wasn't bad and seems like a good guy from the rest of the article, so if he is from a real state I don't mind.
What? that's ridiculous. It occurred in nature, not in the UK Hydrographic Office. I think I'll apply for a patent on the Pythagorean Theorem and Newton's 2nd law, I don't think Pythagoras or Newton did.
Yeah it is something, I agree. I just wanted to show that with public funding they managed to do great things at least 40 years, probably more, earlier than they otherwise would have been accomplished. That is a good thing for us.
You would be right except there was no telephone before he invented it (and that other guy invented it at the same time), bad analogy. Slashdot seems to be in constant "It's Analogy Time" mode.

Damn, I just saw your sig link, what the hell!

Yes, that was in my sexual harassment training. Compliments are outlawed apparently. It's mind blowing. jebus
you forgot to put the disclaimer saying "this is a non-Citigroup sponsored event" or whatever
plus you are using your email for non-business purposes anyway which is prohibited
not only that but after you go through that (plus add in all the stuff they had in college) you feel like you'll never be able to talk to or touch a girl again
it's sad.
Thank you.

wow, am I the first to catch this. I nearly busted a.... an ovary.
thank you sir!

Would you ask an interview candidate to program a "Hello World" program?
That's a bit mean :)

Is that guy's name really Pipes? It's like a bad pron name only this is a bad programmer name.

Amen to that.
If only we had Fry's here though.
Yeah no kidding. He didn't offer any alternatives did he.
