My own mum pulled this one on me. We were talking on the phone and she could hear my daughter playing in the background. As one point it dawned on her that she could not hear my wife. "Is Susan out?" "Yeah she's go

As a point of clarification, owning and reading a lot of books does not make you a librarian any more than typing a lot of formulae into an excel spreadsheet makes you a software developer. Trust me, as of tomorrow I've been married to one

Would it be worth adding some sort of optional region field? Some people may only be willing to hire people in certain countries or time zones for whatever reasons. "I'm sorry, we're only hiring people in the USA, not the Antipodes."
