Congratulations Philip

My calendar reads the 24th, and I think that means you are no longer running with a random band of dubious characters. Congratulations for that.

I've been on the hiring side many times too. It's funny, but the stakes are pretty high on both sides of the table. The resume quirk factor seems to ensure the hiring manager that yes, this person is human. Which in an odd way, the applicants seem more an abstraction until you meet them. The resume quirk sort of cuts through that.

I once set a great hook in a cover letter and got a call back in 20 minutes from the FAX date/time stamp. I managed to chunk the interview, but the cover letter sure did it's job. I didn't save the letter, so I no longer have the exact wording, not that lightning will strike twice anyway. Ha ha.
