    Dear Applicant: We posted this job only because HR requires a public offering; we're hiring in-house. Sorry. Have a great day!

    "Unfortunately, you were not selected for the position" ORLY? Is that why I haven't received any correspondence from your company in over 3 months???

    I'd actually prefer this method- at least I'd have a chance. Two guys from another group upstairs just got jobs- one is getting a startup grant worth $800,000. It's all who's coattails you ride on. And I'm sure it's no coincidence that both of them are, shall we say, pretty boys?

    So what you're saying is I have a chance? YES!!!

    Pretty boys is kind of vague. Are they suck ups? Did they sleep their way up? Are they just all Tom Brady good looking AND talented? Do they have a neat lab space? (Have they found happiness and inspiration with each other to weather the tough times?) Or do they just practice excellent hygiene which is often lost on the lab rats.

    Just saying.

    @anon7:09 - Probably #1, 4, and 5. Plus, they probably cache results, so that, after a night out on the town with their supermodel / scientist girlfriends and wealthy parents, they can still look good by showing their advisors a data point from last week...

    Okay 7:09, guess which of those things make an impression on campus recruiters in the span of a half hour interview.

    Just saying.

    We don't need another hero.
    We don't need to know the way home.
    All we want is life beyond thunderdome.
