Extreme precision in figuring out experience

I hope not

Some kind of addiction, most likely. Very strange experience.

If you're a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, he wrote a story many years ago that relates to this. In Vonnegut's own words:

?As for the story itself, it was entitled "The Dancing Fool." Like so many Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate. Here was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing. Zog landed at night in Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained Zog with a golfclub.?

that's the point of the resume- to get a face to face.

the person sounds amusing from the very little that was shared though.

After the question about centrifugal force, ask if is willing to support the d'arsonval movement.

We come from different "fields" with different outlooks evidently. I have hired and fired several hundred people in my time and anyone playing those sorts of games goes into the Also Ran pile.

When I hire..I hire practical guys with no bullshit outlooks. Those are the ones I can generally figure will be my backbone employees. People who play games on their resume...tend to be problem children.

That in the several industries Ive hired for. YMMV of course.

Mech Eng? Then ask him if he believes in centrifugal force. If he does, he flunked out .....

"Cross-Slide"

is willing to support the d'arsonval movement.

And if he says 'hell yes, I'll sign that petition!' , when do they meet?

I always used five places, so they could make their own rounding errors. :)

That (repetitive motions) sounds like someone with some form of Autism -- likely Aperger's syndrome, which could make him very good at detail work, but terrible with human interface situations. So -- if you hire him (or someone like him), keep him away from the public -- both as a favor to him and to the public.

Enjoy, DoN.

Well put a flag note on it next time!

If you are looking for an ME, definitely.

Goodonya, Mikey. PRECISION ill-fitting parts!

That was on the electronics side, so just five places is low precision. :)

Which makes sense. Electrons _are_ smaller, so you have to measure them, as they is.

The hard part is reading their serial numbers. Those little suckers are FAST!

Oh, hell, boys, just tweak the EventHorizon button on your micro-BlackHole(tm) and slow down time enough to read 'em. Piece o' cake.
