I don't believe you

>microsoft xl
made me laugh for some reason

>recreational activity includes court-ordered punishments

Y-yes, I’m very good at Microsoft, the best one there is

Fucking morons. Just say "yes". Have them elaborate.

>yes sir, i'm very good at microsoft, sir
wew, that was difficult. i bet you even don't need to make apu's voice

>i worked in computers
how did he fit in the computers?

This is obviously not a real resumé.

Sometimes people fuck up by not saying the easiest thing in the world: "Yes"

thanks for clarifying that

does a resumé have to be notarized in your country?

I knew HR people who used to ask techs what CMOS stood for.
Ever see a hardcore tech nerd panic?

I'd just say "No."

ya that's completely irrelevant to modern dev so unless they're working real low level idk why HR would even both asking such a stupid question

It the type of question for them to weed out problematic autists. You might think HR is stupid, but they know exactly what they're doing and you looked like the most awkward retard to them.

I think they'd pulled it out of a question bank for bench techs way back when, and just never updated it, but oh man. Even people who work with hardware on the regular don't usually know that one.
The smarter ones would respond with "I have no idea what it stands for, but I can explain what it does."
Everyone else just goes deer-in-headlights.

To be fair though, HR actually is made up entirely of stupid and worthless people.

how fucking hard is it to remember "complimentary metal oxide semiconductor"?

>HR actually is made up entirely of stupid and worthless people
>women
Yes.

As hard as it's to remember that end of sentece punctuation is included in the "parentheses."

Only if it's a dot AFAIK.

>>so how familiar are you with microsoft?

The correct answer is:

Why yes I am which product in specific are we talking about? I am versed in many, from Windows X-Y, Office X-y, and .

If HR is interviewing you for the IT job then it is one of the following

1) it is a mundane helpdesk job
2) small company where one person does everything
3) underpaid IT job where you have to show old ladies in an office how to make computers you can't replace 'unslow'

Except I'm using quotes to emphasize a deconstructed acronym, not asking a question of CMOS chips. I could have left them out entirely, so the interrogative goes on the outside. "Complementary metal oxide semiconductor" is also by itself not a sentence, so it does not need immediate punctuation. Retaining the ? inside the quotes also makes "CMOS" into "CMOS?" when reconstructed.
