<p>If only that job were real . . .</p>

<p>Ha ha. I did have a phone interview with Google, during which they asked me what year I graduated from college.</p>

<p>Needless to say, there was no follow-up. :(</p>

<p>“Ha ha. I did have a phone interview with Google, during which they asked me what year I graduated from college.”</p>

<p>LOL, it sounds like their HR are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Did they not see the date on your resume or did they think it was a typo? ;)</p>

<p>While the Google ad is funny, some other attention-attracting tactics are not that amusing. Tech companies bending backwards trying to look “hip” to attract the “hip” nerds? Bleh! The little stint CHEEZburger pulled off last week… I think people who were trying to get something quickly for lunch at Dick’s that day were very disappointed that the wait was so long:

<p>BB, I don’t have the date on my resume. But what do you say when they catch you off-guard by asking such a clearly discriminatory question??</p>

<p>I supposed I should have countered with, “What is your race?”</p>

<p>“But what do you say when they catch you off-guard by asking such a clearly discriminatory question??”</p>

<p>That is very true. I was a recruiter for a very large company and we were specifically asked to look past age, marital status, religion…</p>

<p>VeryHappy, </p>

<p>Thanks for the suggested comeback! I hope I remember it if I ever need it!</p>
