Surprisingly, someone in California didn’t get the memo about potential employers checking out social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. The following ‘tweet’ was posted sometime last week:
“Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.”
Apparently, a ‘Tim Levad’ from Cisco saw the tweet and responded, “Who is the hiring manager. I’m sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.”
The research I’ve done doesn’t say whether or not he/she got the job, and in all reality, it could turn out to be just an urban legend. Maybe The Case of the Cisco Fatty will never be solved . . . and, unfortunately, there will probably be a sequel sometime in the near future. Hopefully not by the same author.
