If the OP is being completely serious and isn't trolling us then I think his post is a sign of a serious personality disorder. I'm not trying to diss the OP here I'm being serious. Viewing people as objects to further one's career sounds like classic psychopathy.

I have to bow down to Locut0s' expertise. If anyone know mental disorders, it's him. And neckbeard.

From the stuff he posts in P&N (or was any political posts), he's either trolling full-time or just "that way".
 
I hire engineers as an engineering manager and I can tell you right now that I don't give a shit whether you have a girlfriend, wife, is gay, or a tranny as long as you get your shit done.

Newsflash, we are not looking for "team leaders and sociable team players", I want someone who can put their head down and do engineering work. I need you not to be socially awkward if you ever meet with customers, but that is only a plus, not a requirement. In fact, I can't have too many "team leader" types, I don't want ego-maniacs running around arguing with each other all day.

A good team consists of the following:

a few sr guys with one lead that has soft skills
a few mid-level engineers
a few jr engineers -> you are looking at a job here, I probably won't let you talk to the executives or the clients for a few years. So instead of trying to be smooth, you should focus on technical skills first. When you prove to me that you won't embarrass me in front of the clients or execs, then I will put you in a position where you actually get to use your "sociable" skills. Until then, you are barking up the wrong tree with your approach.

OK, then you want one that isn't spoiled and is pretty self sufficient. It was suggested to me that the way to proceed is activities at which you meet girls. Sharing an interest is a good starting place.

Yeah I agree that the OP sounds pretty absurd. You don't look for a GF to further your career. Check yourself out.

Employers don't give a shit if you have a girlfriend or not. What would make you think that?

I've had quite a few jobs and whether or not I had a GF never came up. Never!

God, this is such a great thread. As for the OP, you should just go into a more secure line of work. Get into a union job, that's the way to go.
 
thanks OP for the new sig. your reasons for having a girlfriend are pretty messed up. imo, just lie to the employer if they ask. with your current views of women, i doubt you'd keep a girl for long.

So, in other words, you do not work for a consulting firm?

So I am going to be looking for work after I graduate college next year and I need every edge I can get. Someone recently said that interviewers like to hear that their potential employees have girlfriends, especially when you're talking about engineering (because most engineering guys don't have girlfriends). Its a way to differentiate myself.

Now I am set on obtaining a girlfriend but I need tips on how to proceed. I want one that doesn't require much attention, doesn't require lots of money to maintain, and is reasonably attractive. Knowing what you want is half the battle or so I've heard. Now, the other half is actually acquiring one. I am clueless on how to begin. Atot, help me.

Are you a brainless idiot douche in RL like you are on the forums?

that could hurt your chances.
 
If the OP had ever had a GF, he could fake it but that doesn't sound like the case.

Ask one of your guy friends if it would be alright if you told any interviewers that he is your SO.
