'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Concur that cover letter is first line of defense for HR. They send the resume to the Dept. Head.
I don't know if the French in France think of themselves as ethnic, but as the default.
The French think of themselves as The Right And Proper Standard By Which Others Are Found Lacking.
Seriously. They do it right. And everybody else is doing it wrong.
"I have 10 years experience with chick sexing and built the Scola Chick Sexomatic, which cut sexing time in half."
Depending on the organization, this could be a plus or a minus.
I don't remembe much in the way of Kraft dinners - we didn't even have macaroni and cheese. However, a lot of my mother's cooking relied on the magic ingredient - Campbell's cream of mushroom soup.
And have I contributed something to the Buffista lexicon?

"Cultural" must have some narrower definitions, right? I mean, what was "American culture" in 1900 is probably not now, across the board, and what "American culture" is in Texas is probably not what American culture is in Manhattan.
Tom, is it a big company? I hear tell of computerized resume review, so you might want to make sure you're using the exact words from the listing in your resume and letter.
oh - that's right. Use the phrases, terms, etc., that they've used in describing the position. Someone's resume didn't get through that because her degree couldn't be described in the exact way they had defined.

Yeah, it's a very post-war thing, using the new processed foods as a time-saving technique.
The biologists gave me the answer I wanted! Yay!
But OMG so many phone calls and meetings today, and me with my ears still ringing from last night's concert...

Mmmm, grits... Waffle House turned me on to grits. Love them.
"American culture" is in Texas is probably not what American culture is in Manhattan.
That's why I don't think there is *an* American culture. We're too big.
