Re: Your Resumes —Liam Parnell

(...) My boss at my last job was a Lego fan! However I agree with you, and have taken it off my CV. I now employ the euphemism "being creative". (URL) would like to think that my skills got me the job, and not being pally with the management. I also (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Your Resumes —Tom Stangl

(...) True, and you don't have to answer it. However, it gives a good look at your drive and personality. You may be the perfect technical person for a job, but if you are a PITA that can't get along with anyone, you aren't much use to a company. Or (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Your Resumes —Larry Pieniazek

(...) Sure it is. British Tobacco may not want you to work for them if you're an anti smoking activist. Or if your SO works for RJ Reynolds. Or if you jump out of airplanes, it may not be wise to put you on the critical path on a regular basis. (or (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —James Brown

(...) Well, ok, I'll bite. :) 5: You're a lemming. 4: The commuter traffic is a real pain, and your suburb is just a *little* to the left... more... ok, GO! 3: There's a Lego sale down there. 2: Harrison Ford has already used the Presidential Escape (...)

Re: Your Resumes —Larry Pieniazek

ROFL (...) Might be YOUR #1, but not mine. I have one already. :-) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Your Resumes —Fredrik Glöckner

(...) Hey, this is just a myth! Lemmings don't actually commit suicide. Believe me, I've spent the last three years studying lemmings. (Among other things like the Canadian showshoe-hare.) There is a rather famous scene in a Disney "documentary" (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Your Resumes —Jonathan Wilson

(...) Or if you are a stuanch vegatarian activist then that might affect your chances of getting a job with macdonalds or KFC. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —John Neal

(...) Uh, the only thing that *might* prevent you from getting a job at McDonald's or KFC is not having a pulse. -John (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —Scott Edward Sanburn

(...) LOL! :) Really? I swore most of those people don't, or at least the blood is not getting up to the brain in a proper fashion. Scott "How in the world can you get a fish sandwich mixed up with a double Quarter Pounder with cheese?" Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —Jeremy Sproat

(...) I think the question is better phrased as: "How in the world did they get *FISH* mixed up with this fried food-product fillet?" I must be getting on in the years. Every time I eat at Mickey-Dee's, or Burger Fling, or Taco Hell, or Pizza Slut, (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Food? Was (Re: Your Resumes) —Scott Edward Sanburn

(...) Well, I am not much for it anymore either, the service and the food leave much to be desired, but when you have my kind of schedule...you learn to handle the Mack Trucks. :0 Scott S. (...) LOL! :) "Hi, my name is Scott, and I'm, I'm..... A (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —James Simpson

(...) You know what really confounds them? I've been known to pull up to the speaker and ask them what kind of fish is in the sandwich, because my doctor won't let me eat anything that swims below 10 fathoms. One time I think that they actually got (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Food WAS: (Re: Your Resumes) —Scott Edward Sanburn

(...) Hmm, reminds me of when I went to the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan (Where the Pistons used to play and the Lions still do...) and went to the vendor area. Since I worked at the Coffee Beanery at the time, and asked here what kind of (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —Jeremy Sproat

(...) Actually, they use founder. McDonald's may use styrofoam containers and throw away 15.7 billion tons of meat a year, but at least they know how to recycle personnel. So why can't the fish be from below 10 fathoms? Would this include fish that (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes —James Simpson

(...) Actually, the whole ten fathoms thing is just a joke. I just did it to further harass already wearied McDonalds employees. Honestly, I don't have a clue how deep a fathom is. The point was to see how much nonsense that they'd put up with. Kind (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Your Resumes (and Other Things) —James Simpson

(...) Postscript: Another amusing one is calling Hertz and telling them that I need to rent a 1973 Triumph Spitfire, because it's the only car that I can drive for medical reasons. You'd be suprised how many layers of managment that you can be (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Your Resumes (and Other Things) —Jeremy Sproat

(...) I know *I'd* transfer you if I were the clerk. But then, being a good little drone (read: not a problem-solver) is implied in the job description. My brother works in a funiture store. I'm gonna ask him about the stool samples. :-D Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Re: Your Resumes —Christopher L. Weeks

Re: Your Resumes —James Simpson

(...) Very true. Not too long ago, I went to a McDonalds, and had to assist the high- school student cashier in counting out my change. I'll have some McMath with that order. (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
