Every time I click on a title like "Why I'd never work for Google, Twitter, or Facebook" I keep expecting it to be a great big 96 point for page saying "Because they wouldn't fucking hire me"

So far, I've only been disappointed by these troll posts.




Agreed. Community college educated - government job - average experience - are a few reasons "Why I'd never work for Google, Twitter, or Facebook."

Because they wouldn't fucking hire me...and I'm cool with that.


or in comic form, http://xkcd.com/192/


Oh my god. What's even funnier is like the last panel of that comic, I actually sent cupcakes in with my resume to the local google sattelite office.

I thought it was really clever. I bought a domain "google____.com", wrote a custom resume specifically for google, had the cupcakes delivered with the name of the website written on top (on a tiny printed chocolate coin so as to be legible)

On the day they arrived, I had about 50 hits from mountain view california, a bunch from atlanta (roughly the number that worked in this sattelite office) (screen http://i.imgur.com/ucsXO.jpg)

Then nothing but silence. I thought it was the cleverest little trick ever. Apparently XKCD had thought of it first.
