> If I were to make a judgement from looking at that. I'm reading anyway > You were not motivated enough to finish school. You might not know what the school system is like in france, and you don't know me either, so don't jump to conclusions. > on how other employers might view you You seem like a PR person, and I don't really like it. I has its importance, but I don't think it matters to me or should matter to my existence. > You can give an employer too much of an intimate view I got nothing to hide, I like to be honest. Points up for creepiness. If an employer wants to be politically correct, it's his problem.

Employers have to chose who to hire based on 1h interviews; how do you expect them to do that without jumping to conclusions? Also, don't confuse honesty with aggressiveness. The interviewer will never get to know you, they'll only get a glimpse; it's not dishonest to make a deliberate decision about what you'll show them.

I read your parent posts and nodded in agreement, wondering if maybe I should ask for your resume. IT around here really has a lack of smart people that can keep things running. Then I read this. Whoops, dodged that one.

  So what I should change my mind about my opinions? I could say the same about your comment "Phew, dodged that one". If you really think you're going to know me by reading my internet comments, well, that might be your problem too.

    No, you should not change your mind on your opinions. You should however keep your opinions to yourself or give up on "l'ascenceur social". Pick one. (And also, read between the lines. People are dropping heavy hints in their responses to you.)

If you need people for whatever, but can't tolerate some opinion, well enjoy your circlejerk company. I can have some opinion, I don't mean to harass people with it, but I think I can enjoy my freedom of speech however I like it. If you can't manage that, or your company can't, it will significantly reduce its potential candidates. Your company is not the only one who constantly trying to browse herds of people and make them compete between each other for the sake of the company's prestige. People are not snowflakes, and so are not companies.
