Blogging is great… And blogging is difficult. How to write a public diary? Usually I don’t want to offend somebody, but on the other hand I want to represent my opinion as clear as possible.

 Recently there has been a very sad incident in one of germanies schools. A young man ran amok and injured a lot of people. Since the authorities found several so called “First Person Shooter” games in his home, the whole discussion about banning such computer games came up again. The discussion itself, for sure is legitimate, but there also have been reports and TV shows that did a good deal of polarization on the topic.

You see there are already at least three topics in one to write a blog-entry about. I’ll concentrate on the computer games.

Well, I hope that we all agree that a computer game (or what game so ever) is some sort of copy of the real world and not vice versa!! ...Good.

I think some people – well very many of them – make it for themselves very easy...

It has been some time since my first Blog entry, and I am not coming with a new specific application scenario, but I think all of you have been confronted with something similar like this at some point in your career:

“We are sorry to reject your application, but at the moment we don’t have an appropriate job that meets your qualification”

My question now is: “Why should anyone be sorry, that I am overqualified for a certain job opportunity?” Well, at least most people I know wouldn’t be devasted and commit suicide just because the have been rejected for a job without a formal excuse. The world will not cease to exist, believe me.

Anyway, if you have had a similar experience in your career, let me know.

Cheers, Martin Zwigl

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... :-)Seriously. I applied for a job as "Project Manager" at "ePunkt" which is THE IT-Employment Agency in Austria. Well, maybe I am not the right person for the job - who am I to blow against the wind - but in my opinion...Just read for yourself. Sadly the eMails are only in german. In comparison you can download my CV from the link on the left side.Hint: Please read the eMails from bottom to top starting with the first response from the employment agency.-----------------------------------------Sehr geehrter Herr Zwigl,ich möchte Sie hiermit darüber informieren, dass wir Ihrem Wunsch Ihr Profil zu löschen bereits nachgekommen sind. Ich kann Ihnen sagen ich bin beeindruckt mit welchem Selbstbewusstsein Sie jemanden, der augenscheinlich seit Jahren als Personalberater tätig ist, sein Geschäft erklären. Mich würde darüber hinaus sehr interessieren, nach welchen Kriterien Sie vorgehen um Struktur und Layout als "modern" bewerten können. Eines kann ich Ihnen jedenfalls...
