| Springboard
- Coopers is using a program that they call "Springboard", which
is a computer program designed by Aspen Tree Software, that not only stores
the resumes, it advises whether the applicant has the right skills for the
job. (Kind of scary isn't it, thinking about how the chance that one day we
may have to get a computer's approval to get a job) It asks questions about
SAT scores, prior job experience, whether you've held an elective office,
whether you've addressed a large group, and how you learn rapidly and
resolve problems efficiently. It then rates your responses. Programs like it
cost $95,000 to $150,000 to develop and customize. |

JOKES
1.
Two accountants are in a bank, when armed robbers burst in. While several
of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers,
including the accountants, up against a wall, and proceed to take their wallets,
watches, etc. While this is going on accountant number one jams something in
accountant number two's hand. Without looking down, accountant number two
whispers, "What is this?" to which accountant number one replies, "it's that $50
I owe you."
2. An auditor
is hard at work, auditing an airline. The auditor cannot understand an excess
fuel consumption on a Detroit to Erie route, for flight no. 420. The auditor
calls the pilot and demands an explanation. The pilot replies "It was a late
night, snow storm was raging, and I lost my bearings." The auditor demands a
statement, "for what?" the pilot asks. The auditor tells him "for lost bearings."
