Don't even fill out the form in the first place unless you are serious

How many times have you started to fill out an online form, had second thoughts, then closed or surfed away from it, thinking you were safe and your data never made it to the server.  You did not hit submit.  Well, think again:

Here is the likely result, seen from the viewpoint of employers: The employers know they can get results with the people in the middle. These are results that suit them and make for standard business progress.  These people also do not scare management . There are a few exceptions.  For example, both IBM and Oracle, very large corporations with e...
