I've had freelance recruiters ghost me. It makes me wonder if it was more convenient for them or if they were themselves ghosted by the company they applied me to.

There's this perception in the corporate world that telling a candidate why they were rejected opens up the company to a potential lawsuit. I have no idea if there's any truth to that statement or if it's just a convenient ex

Hollywood Party by Kenneth Lloyd Billingsley should be required reading for all social studies classes in the US. It's staggering to consider how much of hollywood was funded by the USSR. They stopped in 1991.
