That's craziness.

Next, you'll tell me that management teams talk to each other before making hiring decisions

A. Then perhaps you shouldn't rush. Or apply for a job. Or try to gain membership in any organization.

B. I find it really sad that you can't sound out the word "awkward."

This may sound harsh, but: Get over it.

People will be discussing you behind closed doors alot within your life.

Ex: The hiring manager at your job probably didn't pull your name out of a hat.

The admissions committee at your school didn't shoot darts at random names on a dartboard.

See where I'm going here?

So if the actives don't talk about if you're a good fit or not, how do you think they'll choose you?

it's always funny when ppl who say dumb shit feel that they can afford to be a smartass.

Maybe he thinks they pick names out of a hat or attach them to a dart board or something.

We had everyone write their name on a 3x5 card. If we couldn't read their writing, we figured that they were pre-med (because you can't read doctor's writing on a prescription). We offered those guys a bid because we figured they would have money one day and be able to help support the house. If you had nice writing, forget it.

Problem with that, is how would you figure out the prelaw guys?

Pre-Med members recommended pre-Law members. The pre-Med members wanted to have a brother who could represent them in future malpractice cases.

"Take it easy. I'm pre-law."
"I thought you were pre-med."
"What's the difference?"
