Terrible idea. If you are a member of Mensa that MIGHT be acceptable considering what job you are going for but it can sometimes come off as really arrogant.

No, it isn't, you fucking autist. Besides the fact the employer can't verify your claim, you could be a complete flake when it comes to your job.

You now realize that east Asians have a 4-5 point higher mean IQ compared to Europeans (whites) and yet can not conceptualize creativity and are therefore not as successful of a civilization.

Obviously having a high IQ is a positive aspect as long as you are a well rounded individual in other aspects.

IQ is the only measure of intelligence that matters. Provide a peer reviewed study proving this "creativity" is more important or admit your inferiority.

Christ you're autistic, I have an IQ of 120, but it means fucking nothing. Being a sociable person and being intelligent when it is appropriate is what matters. If you're smart but autistic people will want to stay away from you.

Also, this isn't really that impressive. IQ's are normally distributed by definition, and a 135 corresponds to roughly a +2 sigma event, meaning there's around a 2.5% chance that a random individual has high a level. 1 in 40 isn't even that good, buddy.

I'll ask in this thread so I don't clutter /biz/ and it's an autistic thread for my autistic question.

>employer calls back after interview
>wasn't there for a call but I see the number is the same that called me for interview
>when I tried to call back I couldn't get connected
>It was yesterday and they haven't called back again
What's the proper etiquette for that? Do I keep trying to call back or wait till they sort that out?

don't put hobbies, don't put school activities after you graduate, certainly don't put your college frat

>> No.328298

Dont put anything that's not relevant. So put your hobbies only if they are unusual and you can use then to your advantage.
Ie: don't put reading and watching movies, but being captain of your ultimate freesbee team says something about your managing and leadership skills.
Having volunteered in some charity or shit shows you're not a complete waste of space or an autistic shit like op. So you can put it.

Put yourself in place of the recruiter, so don't put anything too weird or obscure that will scare them. Just thing that will call their attention.
I got a job, even if I wasn't the most skilled because Im a microbrewer, the hr didn't know much Bout it and we ended up talking about it for a bunch. It reassured them on my creativity and the facf that I'll be willing to put my hands in the mess and not stick behind my comp.
