Re: STC Membership

I sat in on an interview at a client's once. The interviewee did not have
STC listed on his resume - no other professional orgs either. The only
question I asked in the entire interview was "Why not?" He said he wasn't
much of a joiner.

He didn't get the job. The manager said that anyone who was a self-described
non-joiner would probably also not be much of a team player, either, and she
really needed that trait. Something to consider, anyway.

| It sounds to me like STC empire building. Past or present employees were
enthusiastic about the organization, and sold the companies on the idea that
membership meant something.
