Phone interviews are the first step towards self-implosion, especially if you hate the phone and only use it to call your lover. Even if you know the people on the other end of the line, you still sweat like a mafucka and wish to YHWH there was some better way of doing stuff. But there ain't, and nobody likes this shit, and so we beat on, boats against the current and something or other, I forget now.Rating: 5%

I think it's gay that you guys talk on the phone so much. Also, you should tell them about Skype. Also, you should re-format this post.
I laughed out loud so hard. Bonus laughter because I just had to reread Gatsby.
Phone interviews are awful because you can't smile at the person and look in their eyes and make them feel interesting. Also people feel more able to be a jerk to you when you're not sitting across the desk from them.
I hear U(g)H does video interviews ala Skype or some-such. I bet that's sorta creepy and strange, too.
I have to do a Skype interview for Abu Dabi next week. Like that's even a real place.
Yeah I think U(g)H video-interviewed with Morocco. But it wasn't Skype -- it was some "special" videoconferencing that cost hundreds of dollars. Because you know UgH likes to spend the money where they don't need and hoard it where they really could stand to spread it out. I vow right now that UgH will be the most backwards place I will ever work.
Abu Dabi, John? Hmm. Welp, bring your best hand-cutting-off-for-stealing-bread sword.
@Locl,
Did UgH interview somebody in Morocco, or is Morocco the name of some kick-ass pan-ethnic poet I'm supposed to know about?
Yeah, funny thing--the only foreign countries that pay teachers well also have rather robust institutionalized inequality. Racism bummed me out a lot in Korea (I'm a sensitive guy, all told), but it's a great perspectival shot in the arm against the sorts of inane PC tantrums that go on in North America. I think the youths today call it "keeping it real."
yeah thats why i apply for jobs in alabama
