"We'll tear your soul apart!"
"I was an accountant, porcupine. I've got no soul to lose."

4. Your company's legal obligations are not benefits.

To frame them as such is insulting. (5/5)

3. If you're expecting applicants to be in the office (whether it's one day a week or five), you need to tell them exactly where the office is.

Because they need to make sure they can...y'know...get to it.
(4/5)

2. Be upfront about what's on offer with regards to salaries, working patterns, and whether or not you're offering visa sponsorship.

We've all got bills to pay and a life outside of work. (3/5)

1. If you're not going to respond to everyone, provide a timeframe in which successful applicants can expect a response.

That ties into the article, but I have others as well. (2/5)

Graduate describes being 'ghosted' by 400 employers The term ghosting is common in the dating world - but job applicants are increasingly reporting it.

Having been in this situation myself, I have some - for lack of a better word - demands for recruiters (1/5)

Thanks for the shout out!

Fucking hell...

(spit take) Wait, what?

#AwesomeCharacters Kestrel and Scar would definitely be riding some Harley Davidsons.

Post-nuclear, more like.

I missed the speech. I was too busy pissing on the American flag.

Watching The Musketeers again.

#AprilAdventure Arthur Bayfalls aspired to be a knight, but the knight he served as a squire for was killed in a jousting accident. Since no other knights would take him on, he developed a strong sense of inadequacy (especially as most knights look down on him).

"Must have forgotten that one." Kestrel handed the gun over with a grin.

Sure, why not?

#AwesomeCharacters For overt weapons, Kestrel has a rapier, and at least one dagger and pistol. Scar has two cutlasses and at least two pistols.

After surrendering more weapons than they could physically carry, the guard clears his throat and Kestrel hands over a pocket flintlock.

This is a dance off. If you see this repost a dance.

Managed some writing after work today.

Even though it was just an email to the agency that was a more professional version of "you lost my timesheet and did a shit job telling me".

(catching up a bit) #AprilAdventure

Well, Arthur is hunting a bounty on an elven swordsman who's been going around breaking pots, called Yew Arrell.

He also has a sitcom arch nemesis in the form of the local knight Sir Robert of Fettes, whom he calls "Bob".

The Husband Poisoning Society A blonde woman flees from a bat monster. Also there is a skeletal fish in the background.

Do you like sword fights? Chases through the night? How about prison breaks?

It's all there! The Husband Poisoning Society. Part lesbian love story. Part fantasy adventure!

Yeah, I got the same message.

A photo-shopped book cover with an illustration of a girl in a yellow dress holding a red phone receiver with an angry expression. Title: Next Time...Text Me With Your Bullshit! Watermark text at the bottom: Your Childhood Ruined

Word of advice when calling me: My answerphone literally tells you to text or leave a message if I don't pick up.

If you don't do that, I'm less likely to ring you back. Especially if I Google your number and can't tie to anything or anyone.

Best Star Trek captain. Wrong answers only.

Well, I can now add Super Mario World to the games I've completed 100%.

I can still count those on one hand.

Blech.

Good thing I never joined that one.

Cleared Tubular using the cape and Blue Yoshi combo

Holy shit. In my latest play-through of Super Mario World I managed to clear the Valley Fortress and Tubular for the first time in 26 years. Got as far as Outrageous (the penultimate stage in the Special Zone).

#AprilAdventure Arthur's long-lost father, Volund of Lundberg, shows up out of the blue. He's still game for questing despite his age.
