I work for a software company that writes/provides human resource management websites, and agree with your mother. Age, weight, height, gender, nationality, etc, none of those, like you said, have any impact on your ability to move a mouse.

Mr. Krass,

I would avoid that particular company and look further. The questions they ask are not appropriate and the pay is pretty low…

However, do give some consideration to your appearance. “Dress for success” as they say… After you get 20 to 30 years and an advanced degree under your belt, you can get away with looking like a homeless vagrant. Until then, the reality of the world is that the well-groomed, punctual and professional engineer will get the job or promotion over the better-qualified slob. Reality check: You aren’t in high school any more. It’s your career and your choice but you have to be real about it…

BTW, I lost my pony tail at age 27… I was a slow learner…

Now let's discuss getting a job... As Andy noted, many companies use contract design companies and, IMHO, it’s a great place to start. I worked as a part time “temp” while in college and got my start here at UTC as a temp (after 8 months they offered me a full time job and I’ve been here ever since).

Hope this helps and good luck…
