Why SE should hire me

[Alexb150]

sounds more like a stalker than a fan. have you cut heads off characters and stuck pictures of your own on yet or not quite reached full nutjob?

but on a serious note.. they have a job recruitment page, you may want to look there

You had trouble with te-form and want a job with SE? Hah. Also, you do know that Reinhart is your direct competitor, right?

Te-form can't just be learned in 5 minutes. It takes practice! And where is Reinhart? I will give him the old Nancy Kerrigan.

This thread makes me smile. Well done, sir.

Is this suppose to be a resume?

I think people are being a bit harsh. Getting your first job out of college is not always what you thought it would be going up until that point, and you've got a long way to go starting a career. So if we take the fact that your strength is not as a programmer, do other options remain? Sure. Forum moderator. Creativity directory. Marketing.

... but they probably still aren't pulling your resume from the forums ... but that doesn't mean you can't have a bit of fun on the forums ... like showing us (by which I mean everyone but me) your tattoo.

I love how people are ragging on this guy.

Like everyone that does good in life knows exactly what they're supposed to do at age 8 and spends their entire life to that goal. People are different, and they take different paths to becoming successful. They have a better chance when they enjoy what they do. But seriously, you guys have enough free time to tear down everyone? It is the internet I guess. You get to hide behind your avatar, kind of like the dumb Volt that pulled in front of me and then took a quick left turn this morning.

To be brutal, this is not a good resume. You write. What have written? Have you been published somewhere, by a real publisher? Do you have excerpts we can review? You studied Japanese. Are you fluent? Can you translate? Have you done any translation professionally? You took copy editing. Did you do any copy editing? What works did you copy edit, and where were they published? Again, do you have a sample of a work you copy edited for our review? You research. Researched *what*? Have you had any of your research published in a peer-reviewed journal? Once more, do you have a paper you've written up on your research results we can review?

Whoa horsie, that water is kinda dark! I get what you are trying to say here, and I appreciate your thoughts on validating one's value, but if you were in anyone's HR department, no one would get hired. I am a published author, but not anything it sounds like you'd value. Copy editing. . . mumble mumble. . . researched history of (probably can't use real terms here for interest of ESRB/censorship) intimate affiliations of the non-mainstream variety as pertains to British invasion and Europeanization of Hindus; researched the marketing ponzi scheme of the tobacco industry from its roots in 15th century on; researched religious identity between Hindu/Jain/Buddhist cultures via food polemics which incidentally discredited the notion that Hindus don't eat beef (as a case study demographically and as a part of Hindu identity); researched AIDS and society and history of aforementioned intimate couplings throughout history (ancient and modern, with focus on ancient traditions as pertains to Judaism/Christianity). . . I haven't edited and added to the works to submit to peer-reviewed journals, but my Rice Educated PhD of Religious Studies pedantic professor gave me a 100 on my paper... so it's peer-reviewed in that regard I guess

If you really would like to read my stuff, I will be happy to include a shameless plug here and let you (and any members of the trolling population) enjoy. I can even make you some popcorn and waffles. I know how the Internet community loves its waffles!
