So while you're sitting around waiting for these companies to contact you, thousands of equally qualified applicants are applying. If I'm Microsoft and I see two wonderful resumes, only one person actually applied to my company and the other sat around waiting for me to contact him, who do you think I'd prefer? It's the same with people. A woman could be sitting in a bar and see two equally attractive guys. But only one dares to come up to her while the other sits and has his drink. Who do you think that woman will be more likely to show interest in?

Some companies recruit, some companies take applications. Some companies don't even realize there's a position open--and might have to create the position. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be wanted.

Let's knock down the double standard. What's wrong with women expressing their interest in a guy, instead of the other way around? Another way I have described this is being a kid in a candy store. Skittles or Starbust? Milky Way or Three Musketeers? It ALL tastes good to me, so it would be difficult to pick one. But if one jumps in my cart, that would be the way to go.

Or buying a car. I could care less what model it is, as long as it's something cheap and easy to get into. If there was a way for IT to pick me? All the better.
