		<description>This was really helpful as I&#039;m in a difficult position in my industry. My experience in this industry is mostly on the technical/data entry side vs actual hands-on experience. One person who I met for an informational interview even frowned on my experience/work because it wasn&#039;t in the day-to-day operations. A lot of people advised me to say I&#039;ve done this or that in the hands-on part when all I know is what I read or the questions I&#039;ve tackled on the exam. 

I&#039;ve been hearing a lot lately about being yourself. And the more I think about it, the more it is really true. You won&#039;t win points or make friends by being fake or trying to be someone you&#039;re not. I prefer to be thoughtful by sending relevant links or emails when necessary rather than a &#039;hi, just updating you to let you know I&#039;m still looking,&#039; or showing up at events where I don&#039;t care about the people or the topic and would much rather be at home reading a book. Besides, no one wants duplicates of the same person in the business. So I stick to what I know best - being thoughtful, considerate, asking genuine questions and taking an interest in the person&#039;s work and background. Your true personality will show and people notice that when you&#039;re genuinely you.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more. Have tried to explain it to people, if you see it just forget the whole thing. Just now I received an email from Nielsen for a position that sounded interesting so I went to check it out. Saw the Taleo logo and thought I&#039;d try one more time to make it work. Should have known better - it would be more productive to open the window and yell at Nielsen. How any respectable firm let alone a technology company could use this garbage is beyond me. 

They are finally getting the hint that people are quitting the process out of frustration. Now when you bail they ask you to tell them why. Believe me, I did.
Someone should publish a list of all employers who use this crapware and then we can all boycott them.</description>
