Machine translation has its uses, but…

Thanks to reader (and outstanding colleague!) Jill Sommer for sending the link to this post from the blog “Resumé Hell” (amusing takes on job searching, written by a recruiter), featuring a cover letter produced by an online translation tool.

Actually, all kudos should go to Amy Beth Hale, Researcher Goddess (http://www.amybethhale.com/), for the link. Her web site has a really good blog about researching. We met on the ferry from Alcatraz at last year’s ATA conference, and she ended up extending her stay and attending the conference.

I love that story!! Amybeth’s blog is now on my feed reader; I love her post on “Is Twitter Overrated?”
