Ok, who came up with these stupid shitty things?
I'm trying to apply to IBM for some sort of software development course, and I have to fill them all in.
"Apart from the fact that IBM are really big, offer great training and are going to give you lots of oppertunities to get promoted and rich, why do you want to work for us?"
I guess that one forces you to actually read the "about us" page, and a couple of others.
then theres the "we want really cool people who have experience and are generally not bad, please give us information of how you're like this."
and almost identical questions. and i end up saying "well, i've spent over a year working for an online game ... heh... like you want to employ me".
of course, if they google the first half of my e-mail address, and find this page, that'll be amusing
Anyway... thread needs a point apart from rant.... hmm... anyone submitted vaugely amusing comments on these and actually been replied to? and/or (semi serious) suggestions welcome
