The Google Adwords Experiment

For some reason, my sole post has garnered me 10$ over the past 4 months.

No, I did not promote it much (a couple of days maybe), and neither do my friends know of this blog. This was always meant to be an anonymous blog rant and it will remain so. Guess there are just a lot of people irritated with the sloppy HRs.

Anyways, that 10$ worth of income apparently made Google apparently think it worth sending me some adwords credit last month. I read it, filed it and then proceeded to forget all about it.

(Surprising, how being over-organized can also backfire on you)

Well, so looking for some papers which the super-organized me knew where to find, I also found the Google letter which I would have known where to find if I had 'remembered' about it.

The funny thing, I realised I had to use it by 30th June, that is tomorrow, or it lost about 33% value. The BIG BELIEVER in fate that I am, I have decided to use it and see where it goes.

I never intended to update this blog much since this was just to get my own frustrations out but I guess I will now. After all, I have enough stories of 'job search rudeness.'

PS: Just realised!! If this blog does get famous, what an 'awesome' start story it would have. Maybe I will even actually name the companies that need to get their 'hiring etiquette' straightened out.
