I&#8217;ve got 3 stacks going.  There&#8217;s the obvious YES pile to my right. the MAYBE pile to my left and then on the floor is the NO pile.  Anyone who can&#8217;t spell, has a name of someone we&#8217;ve already got too many of, or is asking for more money than I make goes in that pile.<br \/>\n<br \/>The best candidate I&#8217;ve seen so far is a guy named Axel who speaks French and German. Was born in France, spent 6 years in Tunisia and 10 years in Germany as well as 5 years in Finland. He sounds so incredibly cool I think we should call him just to get him in here to see what he looks like and to listen to his &#8220;outrageous accent&#8221;. Others sound like porn stars and have made up sounding names. It&#8217;s decided, no more Patricias, Pats or Patties or Kristines with a K or a C or Chris or Larrys.  No one who&#8217;s name sounds like Sabrina. It&#8217;s just too confusing for everyone here. And while we&#8217;re at it no one named Betty. It&#8217;s too close to Pattie if you&#8217;ve got a stuffy nose.<br \/>\n<br \/>It is interesting to see how people write cover letters. I have to say though, if you&#8217;re going to write a cover letter and you say you like to proof read things, make sure you proof read your cover letter. Because if you&#8217;ve got any typos or spelling errors or even grammatical errors, they&#8217;re going to stand out more cuz you said you proof read things all the time. If you don&#8217;t proof read your cover letter, are you really going to proof anything else?<br \/>\n<br \/>So far I&#8217;ve gone through 84 resumes and I&#8217;ve got over 300 left.  I&#8217;m just glad I finally have an interesting project to work on.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stacks So my latest project from &#8220;the Evil One&#8221; is to go through all these resumes we got for a position of &#8220;peon\/slave\/grunt&#8221; it is quite an amusing job.
