Job Applications and the Entitlement Complex

So listing field-relelvant "accomplishments" is bad form at Fog Creek? Ahem. Good to know, I suppose.

Actually, it would be good if every company just listed this sort of "how we hire" on their web site, so that you can steer clear of the ones you find absurd.

It's probably my fault for the wording, but you're completely misreading that. All I'm saying is that someone with a personality has a better chance, all else equal. Without a cover letter, I can't know that.

Ok, that makes more sense.

If they are "accomplishments", as opposed to accomplishments, yeah, leave them off the resume.
