How’s that again?
June 9, 2006 – 8:25 am | by nerd's eye viewYesterday I got a call from a an HR guy. His company needs a writer and he found my resume online. While it’s tempting to veer off into a discussion on how, if you call on a Thursday and for a job that starts on Monday… oh, never mind that. Let’s go right for the meat.
After the call, I went to look at the corporate site to see what they do. Here’s what I found:
[Company Name] is a customer driven organization that delivers a total information technologies solution that transform business objectives into a technology plan that improve your operational and business performance.
Excuse me? What, now?

What now? LOL - rewrite their site?

The first step is acknowledging you have a problem, right? And then the second step is coming a higher power for help. Which: check!
I just hope you can help them. I’ve been on the site for 10 minutes and I still have no idea what they actually do, other than apparently exist as a writing exercise that involves putting as many buzz words into each sentence as possible.

No, seriously, are they for real?

I turned it down. Though they desparately need the help, there were too many inconvenience causes in the way of my working for them.
