told

I was once told that the purpose of a business is to make money.

Did this ever happen to you or is this something that someone else told you abut the past?

The other devs there laughed at me and told me my CS degree was worthless.

I was told for one such question that I was the only candidate to give the correct answer.

I had an interview with this company where I was told technical skills weren't the most important, personality was.

Indonesians surveyed by Galpaya told her that they didn’t use the internet.

I told myself there wasn't time, I had to devote every minute to the startup.

I told her that they were mostly filled with many servers that were used to host all sorts of internet services.

I have done a lot of interviews where I was told that I was the single strongest candidate on the tech screen.

So at this point they've told me my personality was good for the position, and also saw I happened to be a solid programmer.

I know that now, but I wish someone had told me before.

I have a friend at a large aerospace company who was basically told he had 3 years to get his degree or he was out...

They continued answering questions after being told several times that their answer was sufficient, and continued talking even after being told "OK, stop talking"!

Actually, when I was playing Dark Souls a few months ago, somebody asked me what it was like and after thinking for a few moments, I told them "It's like a hardcore Zelda game".

I would be told, in the interview, that I correctly answered questions that no other previous candidate could, often prefaced with "I don't know exactly, but if I had to guess..." And then I never hear from them again.

Sergio Marchionne had a funny thing to say about the $32,500 battery-powered Fiat 500e that his company markets in California as “eco-chic.” “I hope you don’t buy it,” he told his audience at a think tank in Washington in May 2014.
