Career Help and Advice

I've done that on almost every DU2 forum, and see this as a chance to wipe the slate clean, but I'll probably repeat the process on DU3.

Seriously, I'd like to know how companies operate and do their hiring, larger organizations than my current small business.

I feel like a total outsider, where corporations hire thousands of people, but they seem to basically have me on some kind of blacklist, or my profile or personality type on an automated repellent system. When I read about interviews, I find out what the worst things are to say and invariably blurt them out at some point (not that I get as far as a real interview). I really do not understand corporate culture in the slightest. I've only wanted to do one thing my entire life, be a computer programmer, yet that is the one thing that companies seem to refuse to let me be.

I'm also frustrated by the "system". It seems like companies no longer have any identity. There are always professional hire-ers standing between us and the jobs. I actually would take an interest in the company, but that is a no no, it seems. Just read a book about the interview process, and learn to not think, that will raise one's chances at getting a job. Anyway, that's why I'm here.
