The questionnaire that was sent to me from the company that I'm stressing over (which is causing me to check my email more often than Ari Gold comes up with a new insult to use on Lloyd) was sent by an HR intern. Tempted to use bribery to push myself to the top because, having interned for shit before (actually I got a stipend to cover my transportation, which was nice) I know how a juicy amount of cash or some other item would be greatly appreciated. Not that I'll actually do it, but it would be sweet if I could do it and get away with it.
The questionnaire says that it's supposed to be sent back before the scheduled interview, but the sweetheart didn't give me a date when she sent me the questionnaire, which makes Girl86 go "wha?" Hope there's nothing srsly wrong and that this is an indication that they are legitimately interested in me enough to interview me (which needs to happen soon, I'm hesitant to throw away an offer for an unknown).
Another company under the same giant corporate letterhead is now looking at my resume (I like to hedge my bets), so hopefully I'll hear from them soon as well.
Applying to a couple of last shot places tomorrow (if I get my grade tomorrow, actually wrote an email harassing that prof for it).
Twitter is a sick addiction for me. I still think it serves no real purpose, except to save me time on looking at my fave gossip blogs. Really, it's little more than an rss feed on steroids. Like people really need to know what I'm doing every 10 mins, but I can't stop posting. :/
Speaking of social media, aside from privatizing the shit out of stuff keeping most of my stuff clean and covering my tracks with leaving no identifiable, easily google-able connections between who I really am and what I do uncensored on the web (Twitter is linked to my personal email account and this is linked to an account I set up just for this blog), I wonder how much future employers are going to dig. Anyone with 2 brain cells knows not to post vulgar pictures, super identifiable/personal info, and questionable content on the web that could lead to "egg on one's face," so why do they keep stressing it? It makes me think that every company has a shitload of tracers that track ip addresses and will pull up every single website you've ever visited, and every single thing you've ever done on the internet, just based on what contact info you have on your resume. Freakin' crazy.
I've got a late dinner that's growing cold and a movie to watch, so ponder the Big Brother-style probing by future employers and let me know what you think (am I morphing into a crazy conspiracy theorist?).
