Unfortunately, 9 times out of 10, people interview for constructs they would like. And when you get int he job - you never use.
It's a lottery....I usually work on the personality fit.
Unemployed now for 13 months and counting.... ;)
(not really)
I've gotten many a mediocre score in the practical tests, but gotten the job based on personality.

Seemed pointless. Did people really need this explained?
klagan | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you know if you're burnt out or just being lazy?
I think if you can't do the things you love then you're probably burnt out.
If all you want to do are the things you like then you're probably being lazy.
Not fool proof - but a starting indicator.

What a heap of shit. A contentious statement that seems to be based on a bad day in the office....

Who is this Hitler to tell other people how to use Twitter? If you don't like it - don't follow it...YOU are taking the decision to follow what I write....eat it or don't..

Games consoles? E-Readers? USB keys? WTF? Apple have turned things around for the usb key for a start. Tablets and e-readers are not the same market. e-readers are far superior to tablets for reading.....this article was nonsense written to fill space...much like my post :)
klagan | 16 years ago | on: Key-Plus-Ring (Why Didn't We Think of That?)
um....there is a reason the key has a head on it...it's so you have something to grip when trying to turn it...I aint saying it's not possible with this new key - just more difficult...If this is a great idea then let me be the first to propose removing the handles off of tea cups....just as clever....no doubt he'll still make a mint regardless of what I think :)

congratulations! what a pointless article? it manages to cover nigh on EVERY type of job there is....
klagan | 17 years ago | on: Ask HN: So you've just pulled an all nighter, how do you get through the day?
Lots and lots of water and do NOT expect to be productive. Wash your face often too and go for walks.
Essentially, "jjs" is right. You may as well go to sleep, because you will as productive as if you were.
