> You were late to the job interview because you're a person that screws times up. That's much more useful information than anything you could have contributed at the interview.
This is a total non sequitur
- rsync 9y ago"This is a total non sequitur" You think it is. Then try hiring people - lots of people. You will very very quickly learn to immediately disqualify the people that either can't get there on time or can't submit the resume with the required information or can't provide the references by the required date, etc. I used to be very interested and sympathetic to details and narratives and stories and "this is why I didn't send it in PDF format" or "this is why I called 5 minutes late". Now I see them as the most information-dense data that a prospective hire could possibly provide to me.
- 77pt77 9y agoNot sending a resume in PDF format is totally different from being suck on a train or subway. One is indicative of a shortcoming, the other is just fortuitous.
