blog post Back from SXSW
Posted in Dalton's public journal on Mar 23, 2006 at 9:12 PM

I got back from SXSW a few days ago.  I had a great time and was able to get press credentials to take video at the shows I went to.  I've edited most of them and and put them up on the site.

Some highlights are Arctic Monkeys: http://tinyurl.com/mbu6v

Belle and Sebastian: http://tinyurl.com/rbydg

Cut Chemist: http://tinyurl.com/rggva

The main index page for videos we took is here: http://sxsw.imeem.com/portals/sxsw/podcasts.aspx

blog post Dalton's interviewing tips
Posted in Dalton's public journal on Mar 05, 2006 at 6:14 AM

I've been interviewing a lot of people for jobs at imeem recently, and it's probably worth putting a couple of tips on my blog.

DO:

- Appear to have at least read the website of the company you are interviewing at.  I can't stress this enough.  Congratulations, poindexter, you just blew the interview in 30 seconds flat.

- Appear to have opinions about things.  Acting bland and forgettable makes you... bland and forgettable.

DON'T:

- Send out resumes to a large list of email addresses in the CC line with a generic message.

- Put down skills that you only have a vague grasp of on your resume.  You'll get called on it.  I know a lot of other people that do interviews at other companies, and they are hip to this as well.  Putting down "C/C++ expertise" if you have only taken an easy undergrad class in it is just asking to be ripped a new one.

P.S.

imeem is hiring.  If you are reading this you have already passed my "actually seen our website" criteria, so head on over to http://imeem.com/jobs.aspx for more info.
