So, the list has become again about Indigo? Let's move on please... I've 
re-read Audra's initial posting a couple of times and her tone is nowhere 
near what Indigo is presenting! 

As someone involved in the hiring process, I disagree with a couple of items 
in indigo's postings: (1) Reasonable accommodations need to be provided for 
the interview process, not just when an offer is made and (2) when a salary 
history is requested, include it--this shows that you actually read the 
advertisement and can follow instructions. Most managers with hiring 
authority will look at the salary in the context of the overall 
organizational budget and location. 

Indigo's statement that "I have quite a number of friends who are, in fact, 
HR attorneys," is just too much! Gee, I have quite a number of friends who 
are, in fact, trauma surgeons, but I generally refrain from giving advice at 
the trauma unit... (sorry Indigo, I couldn't pass up what is a personal peeve 
of using friends to qualify one's expertise or experience in a subject.) 
DISCLAIMER: This comment is not intended in any way to reflect negatively or 
dismiss Indigo's qualifications to provide human resources advice or 
commentary nor does it reflect negatively or dismiss Indigo's knowledge of 
the subject acquired as a researcher/student/reader, etc. of legal and human 
resources issues. It is merely intended to be a late Friday afternoon comment 
on a personal pet peeve.
