I want to briefly depart from your subject of interviewing to reply towards the complaints and kudos I have received about my last two weblog posts: namely my remarks in regards to the video iPod and the hiring practices of Google. Some readers wrote to commend me on my honesty and risk with these topics,
Windows 7 Download, while a few others wrote to condemn me with the worst insults I can imagine: “You are too old” and “You don’t get it” With regard towards the iPod,
Office Enterprise 2007, some of you think this is the equivalent of wearing last season’s shoes. Zune users have been quick to point out that the Zune plays xBox games, and that the hippest game the video iPod has is Sudoku (which,
Office Pro 2010 Key, ok - I love). And while my iPod usually does make me feel hip,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, the fact that I can’t play downloaded digital music and audio books through the public library on my iPod (so I sit at the coffee shop with my white headphones plugged into my laptop) does make me feel a little… um... dumb. Still,
Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, Scoble agrees with me that the iPod is cooler, but since he was born within the year 1965, I suppose it’s possible that he's also too old to understand the merits of music swapping. And then the “You are too old to understand” insults followed with remarks on my Google post. Readers were quick to point out that in the world of Facebook and MySpace, filling out an online profile without the immediate expectation of something in return was the new form of communication. The days of the phone plus the personal touch are gone, and it's more about speed, multi-tasking and maximizing your chances. It seems many of you think that the best applicants will take the time to fill out “an elaborate online questionnaire” because they understand that this is the way the world now works - and it’s people like me that are stuck within the past. So, you tell me what you think… but please just don’t use the word “old". I far prefer “retro”. - Jenna
