Boy are you out of the loop. Sculpin is good, but Grapefruit Sculpin is better... as are about 40 other IPAs. Give me your address; I'll send you some.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

If somebody asked me what kind of beer I drink, I'd reply, "None.  I don't drink out of personal choice.  But the older I get and the longer I stay in this business, I completely understand why so many people do..." :tongue:

We finally hired someone. I was still getting several resumes a week, most of which were as I described in my original post. Some here may not believe it, but the winning resume actually had a typo and a weird line break. Based on the applicant's cover letter, I decided to overlook the errors just this once because her skills & background were such a good fit for the company. Most of the replies I got included absolutely nothing in the email, or just something like "resume attached. thanks." with a Word doc.  :laugh:

It is your duty to inform that new hire of the mistakes in her resume. If she is aghast, then she is probably a good hire. If she shrugs it off, that's the type of employee she'll be.
