Bon, fini le nombrilisme anglo-phone :-)

The only part of the Charter that actually meant something in real
life was the anti Bill 101 part. The intent was to force Quebec to
open its EXISTING widespread english schooling system to all
immigrants in Quebec. In TROC, as I said quite a few times, this does
not have too much importance since there is no widespread french
schooling system. The Charter would not force the anglophone provinces
to have a REAL widespresd french schooling system, it would only allow
people to use the frech schooling system WHEN THEY EXIST in your area.

This provision of the Charter would only make sense if the situation
of francophones in TROC was very similar to the situation of
anglophones in Quebec.

Yup.  But I don't believe he is voting NON for the anywhere near the

Subject: Screening - graphology (H2H)

JOBDSC7.H2H   921003
 
  The Job Description - Screening Resumes - Gimmicks - Graphology
 
Fortunately (in my opinion) you see less of the ads than you used
to.  It was a dead giveaway, though, when you saw, at the bottom of
the ad, "resumes with handwritten covering letter only ..."
 
I must admit that my sympathies here do *not* lie with those who
demand handwritten covers.  My own handwriting is terrible, and
always has been.  I have mentioned my teaching days: all of my
teaching reports make note of my awful handwriting.  (It may be
hereditary: my father was in the public school system all his life
and all of *his* teaching reports note it as well.)  One well
meaning colleague once suggested that fifteen minutes a day of
practice could fix the problem.  I never did heed her advice, and
sometimes regret it.  But it does make one of two points I want to
emphasize here: never use a measure that someone can "fake".
 
Handwriting can be "fixed".  Ask any forger.  It is a skill that can
be practiced.  Fortunately the days of reliance on graphology seem
to be fading, but if they had continued you would have seen a lot of
the unemployed taking "MacLean Method" classes.  The only thing
graphology would have been able to determine then was who had
practiced most in the previous week.
 
I do not want to leave the impression that I think graphology is a
fake.  Far from it: I *know* that graphology works, and I have used
it myself.  A volunteer organization I belonged to kept a log book,
in which "duty" members were encouraged to enter notes, reflections
or nonsense as they would.  One of the members took to writing
anonymous accounts.  After a time this began to be resented and I
undertook an analysis of the writings in order to identify the
person responsible.  I did, too.  After all, I had twenty or thirty
pages of her handwriting which was easily enough to make, over three
or four sessions, an accurate assessment of her character.
 
This is my second point, and again one that applies to all gimmicks. 
Gimmicks do not require less effort to use.  In fact, they require
more.  I didn't have simply one page written in the full knowledge
that it was going to be analyzed, I had a booklet of material,
written all unsuspecting.  I had previous experience with
handwriting analysis and some reference material.  It still took me
several hours to come to my conclusions.  Most importantly, I had
some experience of which parts of the analysis were to be trusted,
and which were somewhat suspect.  Graphology, like any other
gimmick, can give you indications in screening, but only if you know
when to trust it -- and when not to.

may not offer exactly the same money or glory, but we do have a much
shorter waiting list, and much easier working conditions.

What kind of writing are we looking for? First and foremost, coverage of
topics that are difficult for us to handle internally. Companies and
events outside the Toronto area. Specialized products and applications.
Programming.

We also need lots of bread-and-butter material. Product reviews. How-to
articles. Programming tutorials (C, Pascal, Visual Basic preferred).

And, largest category of all: stuff we haven't thought of yet.

If you are interested, leave a reply for Frank Lenk, Executive Editor,
on this board, or e-mail him on CompuServe at 72707,1171. Or written
queries by mail of fax, to:

We ask that you do not call by voice. All reasonable inquiries will be
rewarded with a genuine copy of our collector's-item author's kit. We
can't guarantee that we'll work with every Tom, Dick or George, but
anyone with good English skills and a knowledge of computing sufficient 
to log onto this system will find us quite accomodating.

Feel free to pass this message along to your friends or to other BBSes.

        The Job Description - Screening Resumes - Gimmicks
 
The screening process is a lot of work.  There are always people who
will try any means to shorten this.  It really can't be done.
 
Or, rather, it can't be done effectively.  Every day managers do
shorten the process -- to the companies eventual detriment. 
Usually, though, they don't call it skimping.  Usually they find a
gimmick.
 
There are ways and means of shortening parts of the process. 
Usually, though, they involve advance work and planning.  Last week,
for example, I suggested a quick way of screening resumes by looking
specifically for those measures that best contribute to the success
of this particular job.  By deciding those in advance, particularly
with the help of your detailed job description, you can speed up the
screening process and still retain accuracy.  This, however, is not
a gimmick.
 
Gimmicks are the shortcuts; the 'buzzwords"; the popular devices
that seem to give you an "out".  Gimmicks appear to promise that you
won't have to go through the whole process: that you will be able to
get away with a quick test.  After all, you have a lot of important
demands on your time, right?
 
Gimmicks are usually worth about as much as any other "free lunch".
 
Gimmicks, unfortunately, usually have just enough validity to make
them seem useful.  One example of a gimmick used in another
(related) field is that vocabulary is often fairly well correlated
with intelligence.  (This would seem to follow from the fact that
intelligent people generally read more and tend to seek out new
information and experiences.)  Some unfortunately, saw this relation
as predictive, and wrote "IQ" tests which only tested vocabulary. 
This brought the whole field of intelligence testing into disrepute
when it was found that the tests had very strong cultural biases.
 
The use of gimmicks extends to interviewing techniques as well. 
Chose your interviewing and screening techniques with great care. 
When in doubt about the validity of any new screening technique, it
is best to remember that "trends" in screening and interviewing seem
to come and go with great rapidity and very little lasting effect. 
Remember also that people have been hiring, and being hired, for
thousands of years, and the basic process hasn't changed all that
much.
