should we deserve a feedback after an interview?

English: A business ideally is continually seeking feedback from customers: are the products helpful? are their needs being met? Constructive criticism helps marketers adjust offerings to meet customer needs. Source of diagram: here (see public domain declaration at top). Questions: write me at my Wikipedia talk page (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

There are a lot of things that I do not like today, probably because as a “new position seeking” person I’m more vulnerable or may be because of my situation I have to relate in a different way with different people.

One of the thing that hurt me more when seeking for a job is the feedback, or, to say the truth, the absolutely lack of feedback coming form your counterpart.  I understand that hiring someone is a process that require selection and that is focused on needs that are not always visible to the candidate, but anyway in a correct and ethic worlds an answer should be given to anyone, in good or bad.

And I do not mean a complete or detailed one, sometimes would be enough to say “we are looking for a different candidate” would be enough, but let people waiting for an answer that will never come is quite a nasty habit.

It happen to me all the time, first, second, third interview and then we we’ll call you in a week or two…and then the silence. funny first they’re all kind and nice, they talk ask for email and connection, and then they disappear. Come on guys I know you’re busy and I know we are not friends, but as you ask me to be polite and kind with you isn’t something you should give me back? education and respect claims that if you state you will give me a feedback you should give it to me, and forcing people to call for a deserved feedback is never a appreciable thing.

And if there are budget concerns, just tell me. it is not such a bad thing to say, we’re looking for someone cheaper. Another thing I never understood is why CV are not always screened in term of seniority, if you’re looking for a junior position you should not call someone in the field since 20 years. and if you’re looking for seniority could you expect a economical request not aligned?

OK today I’m in a really bad mood, I admit it, but I think that between peers a little more fair feedbacks should be a minimum baseline.

Vacations

Ok what can I say, it’s a long way to go from Vistarino to Estepona but I think it worth the trip.
Starting time 00 am (midnight for human being) , right after the opening cerimony of the olimpic games. Beside, Did you like it?
First stop Barcellona. Geez i love that place, even after 10 hours sharing drive with my wife. We reach the hotel and took a ride on a siteseeing tour bus, the hop on hop off ones.
It was really nice, even if i have to admit that i sleeped some minutes during the ride, well i were not driveing :-).
Barcellona is wonderful, the buildings are amazing, not to mention the pieces of arts like the sagrada familia. All the town seems to be builded to make you feel confortable and it’s clear that maintenance is really good. I just hope that this damn crisis will not stop it’s developement.
But Im quite sure we all know that barcellona is great. Just give it a couple of days minimum :-).
After such a big tour we went back to hotel, eat some tapas in a nice restsurant close and went to sleep. The day after ha been the spanish trip, from barcelona to estepona.
Nothing better thsn a trip like that to appreciate the astonishing beauty of Spain. (Well part of).
I mean, if just the trip on the highway is able to show you such different beautiful landscapes, so different and si intriguing, can you imagine what could be a deeper visit?
Well not so much time so we drove rigti to estepona withouth stop. What a relief to arrive…

Diary of a "biker"?

The question is easy, what the hell I was thinking when i bought a bike?

After only 47 years i decided to fulfill, thanks also to my wife support, one of my wildest desire, buy a motorbike.

I’m the proud owner of a Kavasaki VN900, it’s a wonderful bike.

The only problem is that I never rided a motorbike, and i started to ride a bike just after i heve married Rika.

I konw it sound Nerd (well I am, indeed) but i have never had a bicicle or a scooter before. So I am a complete beginner.

That means I am not able to do a decent job with this wonderful toy, but I’m trying to learn.

Alas as every beginner that is over 45 I have some problems to show to the world my dumbness and so I’m trying to learn it when nobody watch me (you do not have the slightest idea how many people watch you when you do not want it). I admit it is a very hard job, my very first try was terrible, and with terrible I mean I was not able to move, then I’ve tried again a few (the “no people around” condition shorten the timeslots) but slowly I’m figuring out what I have to do.

And since I like to do things easy I choosed a 300kg big custom  bike

Some stuffs are really unknown to me, for example: gear what the hell is this (ok ok there is something like that also on my car, but I do not need to use a foot to change speed), but I’m positivew at the end I will be able to ride it.

I will post my progress, and hope soon some trip

 

cheers

A
