You have ads in your facebook feed? Weird, I'd assume someone who posts on HN and has an opinion on this would also know how to shut that down.

Yes I agree with your summary of the situation. I assumed a phrase like "immaculately designed strategy" would set off your sarcasm sensors but I appear to be mistaken.

This is the best thing I've read all month and I particularly like that the only negative commenter so far confirms the author's characterization of their humor 100%.

"There is no other way" = "There is no Plan B" Fortunately if we've learned anything from recent history, it's that our initial attempts at a solution are almost always successful and rarely are there setbacks,

You've summarized all my most important thoughts into two succinct sentences, thank you.

I had this! Third day after my second Pfizer dose. I am very familiar with chest pains through... recreation... and this was a whole nother beast. I was legitimately frightened, even moreso when everything I found said it wasn't a symp

Or, even better share the data you reference from "this kind of research".

Just wanted to let you know that I read this book on your recommendation and think it's among the best self-help books I've ever read. At least as important as 7 Habits, which was my previous favorite. Thanks for the tip.

We're just problem solving here - the moral assessment of any given solution is each individual's choice to make, pal.

Nah. My point is that most people off the street assume salesmanship is about touting your product effectively. Anyone can talk a big game. Making people feel heard, and then specifically responding to their pain is the real answer. Yours a

That's honorable of you to bring lives into this planet uninvited just so you aren't a little bored later.

The audiophile analogy is valid, but only because you can be an audiophile chasing brand names or status (and you will probably get it if you spend enough), or you can be an audiophile that seeks out high quality gear without the snake oil.

I do agree with you.

by jldl805 5y ago
I agree with your overall message but just want to say from a sales perspective, there is still a "process" and "data" that guides the overall one on one field work you describe. It's just about knowing how much act

Maybe the "term" but the "genre" techno was really born in Detroit. Not a really controversial statement.

Either I'm doing a bad job communicating or you're doing a bad job understanding. I'm not saying no human should be involved. I'm saying an excellent human should screen candidates in a phone (or Teams or Zoom or whateve

Yes you interview them over the phone in an initial phone screen before you invite them in for an in person interview. The phone screen should cover lots of technical areas with deep follow up questions and examples. I work in a specific ni

The only thing this tells me is you have an error in your hiring process that is leading you to interviewing people in person that cannot do the job. This should never happen.

by jldl805 5y ago
I don't recruit new grads so it would never happen. Similar to OP's post, it's almost always a situation where it's painfully obvious to everyone else involved why the person isn't getting hired, but it would be awk

I'm a recruiter and candidates argue 95% of the time. Maybe higher. I only give feedback in very, very selective situations and even then I almost always regret it due to the response. Most people are not calm, rational, dispassionate

I can't speak for the person you are talking to but this site has much less tolerance for deviation from cultural norms - which is both a good and bad thing. Compared to even niche subreddits there is much less room for "freewheel
