And looking back on the posters comment history, I would tend to agree. There is tons of absolutes, argumentation and quite a lack of tact.

- jemfinch 15y agoI'm interested in which particular comments you think demonstrate a lack of tact, and how you would improve them to be more tactful, if you have the time.
- dpe82 15y agoThis one. The tactful thing would be to first accept the possibility you may at times come off as a bit conceited before asking for evidence and advice.
- efsavage 15y agoMaybe I'm similar, but I can say that based on comments I've seen here I'd be far more likely to email jemfinch back than up_and_up.
- rbrcurtis 15y agoI think it really depends on the company you are hiring for. At my present one, personality is absolutely as important as skill, so if you sound like a pretentious snob we probably won't be interested in you. At my last company (a fortune 500), if you sounded like the OP, we definitely wouldn't get back to you.
