    If you call to say it is cheeper elsewhere, maybe they will honor it. We honor it in my store. The sales approach is similar. Sucks for the sales guy I suppose, but it is what it is. I never worry about matching prices. I either can, or can't and I have never been in a situation where I can't.

    Why would someone put 1700hp in a fugged out crossfire?I kind of like it's overall look. Clean look inside. Some of the fins are stupid, but overall it is kinda cool.But is it $2 mill cool? If I was a billionaire maybe. But it is not 2 mill cool for anything other than saying you can buy a 2 million dollar waste of cash.

    They also all commented on how recs get interviews. I am surprised they admitted that to some degree. Not all hiring managers or HR people would admit that networking your way in is the best way. What one of them said really stands out about that though. If you don't approach asking them how you can help, but instead ask"can you find me a job" you will fail every time and have missed the entire way networking works.

    Allen: Not all companies will provide feedback, but it’s okay to ask. I have always tried to provide feedback to candidates when appropriate. Some examples of constructive feedback I have given in the past include dress professionally, do not chew gum, and be on time. ^------- That comment is a huge blinking red light to why PHDs get shot down. If you are that educated, don't have a job, and walk into an interview acting anything less than perfectly professional you will be seen as arrogant. They will think you feel entitled, and you will have no hope.

    I cannot tell you how often we hired someone without any of the schooling needed on the application. Same in reverse that we would hire people so painfully "overqualified" for a job because we either thought they were a match or they knew someone on the inside. Managers and HR would lie directly to people's face and tell then that the resumes got weeded out when they didn't, or push them through when they should have been auto filtered out.

    Re-ask the question differently, you'll get the right answer. http://www.cen-online.org/articles/91/i7/Getting-Help-Getting-Hired.htmlI'm not saying that sole article represents the entire field, but from all the other articles I've read online and from the people I've talked to with PhDs in chemistry they agree, so that's why I have this point of view. Sounds like some of the nutritional articles you've cited. There will always be someone citing one thing or the other. Real world experience tells differently. Currently it is hard as fucking hell to find anyone technical that is worth a shit. I know a lot of companies with open hiring rec's and they take months to fill. On average more than 6. This includes chemists. Have you hired chemists, or can you talk to those in companies that you work with that do hire chemists, and ask them? Because I'm honestly curious as to what they would say to the question.These statements are like the one my roommate got where the manager of the office said that if you show up to interview in a tie they will not hire you. HR people lie to prospective applicants and outside people all the time. It is sometimes as Sean said about education discrimination. Sometimes it is so they can blatantly discrininate for reasons they shouldn't. In academia it is worse. Public sectcor bad.

    What is his pretext? Time for the AAA... AAA?His pretext is he wants to wait to buy a more expensive bed later, and that they all feel the same to him anyway. Normally I'm not even annoyed with refunds, but I stayed late and basically took a huge risk on the price to close the deal. Depending on how you look at it, he got a better deal than I can get myself or give family. Acknowledge, Ask, ANything else.Ooooh. I never heard that. I did that when I saw him. He was clearly lying and must have been embarrassed. Went from 100% rapport last night to lying to my face today, and then when I called him on it, he said "you are right" and still asked to return it. Failed at finding out the truth, but I didn't beat him up so bad that he will tell the neighbors I shamed him. Just let it go and moved on. It's volume weekend, and his sale was a tiny percentage. I took it personal because of the extra effort and lost time with my family last night. I haven't had someone keep me late, purchase happily, and then lie to my face the next morning before... Or if I have it was 10 years ago and I was hung over per my usual sales weekends. Lol

    Never. Salary requirements get someone thrown out, not experience or education unless again it is a very rudimentary roleAlright well I'm done with this topic.With that attitude even faking a master's to cover up your PHD won't help.

    Never. Salary requirements get someone thrown out, not experience or education unless again it is a very rudimentary roleTo expand on that, many times we would hire new grads for jobs below their education. Guys with masters doing basic shit. They were Fucking hungry and usually prompt, and if they moved on, they give notice and it's easy to find someone else. Maybe a guy who used to run an entire lab would have some trouble finding a job scrubbing beekers, but they just don't throw the resume out. My father in law got the "overqualified" line a lot. And it was because his resume and comments in an interview made him sound set in his ways, because he is. He changed his resume and his attitude and nailed a job ASAP.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    You're missing my point entirely.There are people with PhDs in chemistry who apply for jobs that require a BS or masters because they can't find anything else and they're willing to do the work, and companies won't hire them because they're "overqualified." It's not about chemists not willing to work a "lower" job, it's about companies not willing to give them the chance because they believe the chemist will leave with the next opportunity. That's all my point ever was: PhD in (bio)chemistry reduces some job opportunities. And I'm talking about jobs in the chemistry field, not outside it. No, I didn't miss your point. And we hired chemists at the hospital, and I handled their resumes. We were never instructed to throw out applicants based on too much schooling. Ever.

    Every human is overqualified for labor, but some people wanna do it.

    They don't know how to write a resume. And if they feel that it hurts them then simply apply with only the masters listed.That's what I do, tailor the resume for the job. "High school diploma or GED"? No sir, never been to college! "Bachelor's degree in a related field"? Yes sir, I've been to college! I'm presuming they would look further into one's credentials if they're left on the list, and would likely find out the other degrees weren't listed, but I could be wrong. :shrugs:They don't look into it until they are absolutely interested in hiring, and at that point they won't just cast the applicant asside because they will assume the guy wants the job. However an HR rep who overlooks someone with a higher degree is an idiot. Resume matters more.
