Pointing it out when someone is being explicitly not inclusive and it’s part of their job to find and develop talent isn’t “virtue signaling,” you presumptuous creep. It’s being a decent human being. Take the feedback way you’d tell an employee to, TAD and VP.

Also - you’re the one who posted about it here, TAD. Pretty rich you’re now complaining about the reaction.

👻’em?

They're also unqualified... Just amazing someone this senior in our business would do this 😂

Just throwing it out there that Comic Sans is dyslexia friendly.

If the resume had been in Arial and the cover letter in TNR, would you have been posting here?

Comic sans is perfectly legible. What’s your problem with it, TAD?

Honestly, would interview them just because it would make me laugh

Is it funny? Did it make you laugh? Bring ‘me in!

No :( It was as badly written as the font choice:(

Meanwhile, somewhere in your org a managing director is wondering why so few resumes cross the desk...

Lol okay

Oh c’mon folks, give TAD a break. First thing I thought was Joe Pesci, « ...funny, am I funny? Am I a clown, do I make you laugh? ». If you know the movie, you know what happens next. Genius.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

I’ve been job searching and interviewing for 2 years now and I can’t take it anymore! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, the most it’s taken in the past was 5 months to get a job.
