“You are more than what you have become”

You start memorising Mufasa‘s lines; that’s what happens to you when your kids leave their cd books in the car: .

I was reading Brett’s comments about MyCareer; truth is I don’t see the innovation, and in general, I don’t get why the site is more progressive than the others. The site’s more pleasing to use than before, though.

That may well be a very myopic assessment as I am not a techie to praise programming prowess or a ‘real’ job seeker. In any case, the performance of the job board will be assessed on its merits as a sourcer of placeable candidates – on the client side – and producing the one dream job for the applicant (cool campaign too)

Before I left the site I had a brief look at the content. In the career advisory there is a section on how to deal with some questions at interview time:

Q: “What do you believe are your weaknesses?”
No-one readily admits real weaknesses in an interview situation. It is general knowledge that this is an opportunity to turn the question into a positive. Think of something that relates to your experience of work that is plausible as a weakness but is not really a negative point. Eg; “I am very particular about detail”, “I become very focussed on the projects I am involved in”

This is Careeone’s take on the subject, whilst Seek advises you to duck if you get asked this question.

Risk is: the recruiter might not be buying it. Personally, I daydream a few times a week, I procrastinate a lot when it comes to housework, and write pretty cheesy poetry in spanish…

How about you?
