Maggots, Murder, and Men:
Memories and Reflections of a Forensic Entomologist

As Web Watch looks forward to Halloween, we reflect on our job choice and whether we could have done better at working in a creepier career.

23 actual job interview questions you never want to answer

The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked
The 250 Job Interview Questions You’ll Most Likely Be Asked

We’ve all had interesting job interviews.

Web Watch recalls one where the entire interview has done over drinks in a smoky bar after hours.  While the interview was a serious affair, the atmosphere detracted enough from the offered position that we ended up turning the job down.  If they’re not willing to take their company and interview process seriously, why should we take their job offer seriously? 

But sometimes there are some interview questions that just are a little… off.  They certainly are within the realm of reason to be answered, but they may not be the types of questions that you want to deal with. 

So let’s take a look at some actual JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ASKED, ever.

Have you ever wondered how much money an app developer makes for writing and selling an app via the Apple iTunes app store for the iPhone or iPad?

Maybe not as much money as you think.

The Best Companies to work for? How about “Where do YOU want to work most?”

The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America

We’ve all seen those lists of the TOP COMPANIES TO WORK FOR, based on survey results that cover all sorts of topics like their work-from-home/telecommuting policies, time off, healthcare benefits, and other aspect – both tangible and not so much.

But a list of the TOP COMPANIES TO WORK FOR will only go so far – because the majority of those lists are usually family-friendly, local organizations that know how to cater towards their employees.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.  If you are one of the lucky people working for one of those organizations, then good for you.  You’re already there.

Favorite TV Theme Songs
Favorite TV Theme Songs

Kids growing up today have absolutely no idea what a true TV theme song is. 

Now, they turn on any of the CSI shows and get a song from The Who.  They turn on Law & Order and get a “bum-bummmmm”.  They turn on Survivor and, depending on the intricacies of the episode plotline may either get the long-form, short-form, or some variation in-between of the show’s intro.

Web Watch was having lunch the other day with a group of people that included a woman who had recently moved to the United States after having grown up in a number of foreign countries.

Who would want to live in one of those absolutely gorgeous homes?  Well, it turns out that you can, as many of them are available for sale or rent to anyone willing to pony up some cash.
