I'm curious what percentage of thework is the kind you're passionate about (e.g. when you have this type of workand get paid for it, you think, "I can't believe I get paid to do thisjob!") and how much of the work is the kind you just have to get through? yhb318: Right, but are there any that are admitted that never go through aninterview? iateadonut: (Incidentally, I think almost everyday, "I can't believe I get paidto do my job!") saukamdar: Hi, I am round 2 applicant. How much weight/importance does the 'OptionalInformation' section plays on a candidate's evaluation? SLaoprapassorn557a4d: Hello.
