   Testimonials in general are like these cheesy or sleazy infomercials on home shopping channels, fake and worthless and that's why they earned the bad reputation that they have. Also, it is not even that the essay itself is totally bere

   Thanks for the self-esteem boost in this early morning, PG. I totally needed it. I always beat myself up that I am not a quick, efficient and articulate enough as a writer and I always to take some time to organize and reorganize my thought

   I didn't say that you necessarily or explicitly endorse this position but your comment unfortunately came cross as forgiving of this practice. Also, I don't see how this behavior can be viewed as rational since we're talking

    Jesús is a valid and common name for Hispanic males and I don't see how this would disqualify them from being considered for these positions.

    Which is a bit ignorant, don't you think? This concern should have been addressed, if it really materially affects performance on the team, and this is a big IF, in the dreaded cultural fit part of the interview and not like that where

    The USC so far proved to be resilient, adaptable and durable but timeless? It remains to be seen but I have my doubts esp. in a future socio-political context where post-modernism and cyberpunk ideals reign supreme.
