  • I’ve stopped tailoring resumes and doing cover letters. As someone who has been on the hiring end, they make maybe a small difference but the amount of time spent isn’t worth the potential upside.

    Keep in mind that the people doing the hiring don’t want to be reading resumes either. That’s why networking is still the best way to land a new job.











  • A lot of hate on this guy. Not saying it’s not deserved. But it has to start somewhere.

    “My exegesis of those half dozen passages, it hasn’t changed. I think the Bible says what it says, and disapproves of gay sex, full stop,” Hays continued. “But there’s a very arbitrary selectivity about picking out those two verses in Leviticus as the foundation for an opinion on this subject.”

    I used to be a fundamentalist right wing Christian Republican. I see myself in this sentence.

    The love of Christ that Christians say they have was nowhere near their hatred of “the gays”. Jesus says nothing of Homosexuality so Christians hang their politics on two really obscure verses in the Old Testament.

    He’s taking steps in the right direction. He still has a ways to go to make amends.

    But the fact that he’s publicly “coming out” with his apology should be seen as a good thing because he’s likely going to get bomb and death threats from the fundamentalists.
