Reply to We are MIT scientists studying past global environmental catastrophes (mass extinctions, etc.) and their relevance to modern-day climate change. Ask us anything! by mit_catastrophe

Thank you for doing this. Do you think that humanity should engage in climate change mitigation and adaptation, rather than attempting to reduce carbon emissions?

To be clear, I understand the science and PPM calculations, but I don't foresee a world where all countries, particularly China, India, and Russia will promote a carbon-free or low-emission economy...and I doubt that the U.S. has the willpower to do so any time soon.

Reply to TIL that modern store mannequins can now record video, sound and automatically analyze demographic data and customers reactions to products from facial expressions analysis by human8264829264

Oh, man. This is going to change everything about Mannequin 3. It will no longer be the capstone of an adorable rom-com fantasy trilogy. It will obviously become a high-tech thriller with hackers; probably the Russians. Thumbs down!

No doubt. Not looking to get into an internet catfight.

But I think things like draft order, Ivy League degrees, size of conventional military (I'm looking at you, Russia), salary history, and other quantitative metrics are not indicative of future performance. Humans are complex.

Reply to Hi it’s Daniela Vincze ! . Back in the 80s and 90s me and my husband were instrumental in the falling of the Berlin Wall. We practically broke East of Europe out of communism. AMA me ! by [deleted]

Here I was thinking it was leaders like Lech Wałęsa, Václav Havel, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and countless nameless heroes who gave their lives attempting to promote human freedom. Your proof now tells me everything I need to know.

Reply to IAmA ex-recruiter and Chartered HR - AMA & resume critiques by hrmagnet

Thank you for doing this.

I'm an American who studied economics and have spent the past few years working overseas in international development. Not long ago, a parent became very ill and I returned to the US to provide care.

In the process, I've sent out resumes to local organizations and companies trying to find a way to make ends meet. I rarely even get confirmation that my resume was received. I explained my situation in my cover letters, saying that I wanted a career change. Given the radio silence in response, I am convinced that instead of looking at my time abroad as a sign of initiative, cultural sensitivity, and managerial experience, I was deemed a professional leper. Meaning, HR staff perhaps thought: we don't do any work in (name of polysyllabic country), we don't want anything to do with that.

It is almost as though I would be better off just listing my college education and leaving that part off -- a multiyear gap in employment would at least not get my resume put in the "square peg" pile.

Can you guide me on how to adapt my strategy or at least get in the door for an interview?
