First of all, many a so-called "geek" is actually someone with Asperger's syndrome or high-functioning autism. They may not be good at social interaction, or fashionable, or any number of other unimportant thigs, but are often excellent and super-efficient in their areas of special interest and expertise. Secondly, I have been married to an Aspie, who lost a high-paying job when the company closed operations in America. He'd advanced quickly due to his skills for two decades, and developed processes that continue to put the company ahead to this day. But he couldn't get a job in his field again to save his life. His resume was impressive, and he easily landed interviews. But he totally blew it once he had to sit down and talk to the hiring manager. He couldn't express himself well, anxiety would overtake him, and that would be the end of it. It sucks that more people won't get to know these syndromes, and see how much Aspies have to bring to the table.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lem]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2009 11:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How a Geek Can Bomb a Job Interview]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/17/how-many-ways-can-a-geek-bomb-a-job-interview-lets-count/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/17/how-many-ways-can-a-geek-bomb-a-job-interview-lets-count/</guid><description><![CDATA[Welcome to natural selection.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[acidhax]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How a Geek Can Bomb a Job Interview]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/17/how-many-ways-can-a-geek-bomb-a-job-interview-lets-count/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/17/how-many-ways-can-a-geek-bomb-a-job-interview-lets-count/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah, that was really gay!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2009 10:10PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
