Wow, that's really bad - it only works if you're looking at one particular car! If you're comparing, or researching, they add nothing.

Or, as Dale Carnegie said, people like to talk about themselves. Make them feel good about it, then they'll order widgets from you.

How does everyone not see through that?

Can't say that I view Sergey's poop as smelling any better than anyone else's.

I recently posted a job opening. When I reached out to one of the applicants, he said he was worried that his knowledge wasn't as deep in some of the areas I wanted.

That honesty got him an on-site interview.

That interview, reference checks, etc., got him the job. He starts on Monday.

Which planet? Planet Google, of course. You're a tool in their shed, not the other way around.

Sounds like the answers are split into two camps:

* be a fanboy and visit corporate campuses

* be a tourist and go run around somewhere

Not being a fanboy myself, I'd vote to spend the day in Santa Cruz. Stay for the sunset. Much more interesting than Google.

Good luck with your interview!
