We check our e-mail before falling asleep at night, only to wake up the next morning and scroll through our inbox once again. We’re so connected to our tablets and smartphones that “ Phantom Vibration Syndrome ” is now listed in Wikipedia. Before I worked at ZeroCater , I had no concept of a lunch hour. At my first job out of college, I worked for an investment consulting firm outside the D.C. metro area. For me, lunch consisted of a Greek yogurt and a granola bar.

So, they’ve decided to jump into the recruiting game with their new (still in beta) website: Elevated Careers. Now, to be fair, I have, for years, advocated making job interviews more like dating , but what I meant was that you should have a back and forth in an interview, not like the interrogation that happens at a lot of job interviews. It seems like a company that has spent years perfecting the romantic match-making game should be the tops at this.
