Draft Tips #23 - 14 things to look for, impress the robots, and what if it was Bizzaro world?

This weekend, I had the chance to attend a UMass football game at Gillette with my son.  It was great weather for a game and always great to be in that type of surrounding.

When you go to a game like that, ever notice certain things?  Like how robotic the ticket takers or concessions can be?  Or ever wish they understood how standing in line or being herded like cattle can be aggravating?

That like job hunting.  With technology, it seems like you are trying to impress robots instead of an actual human being.  Well, to get that robot to notice you, use these tips.

During the interview and job hunt process, take time to notice these things.  These are not normally things that people see, but can tell a lot about where you are trying to get a job. 

What if the world was turned upside down, and recruiters had to go through what candidates go through?  Here's a tongue-in-cheek-but-not-so-funny look at the process.
