I'm preparing a new talk for TechLearn in New York next week. (Catch me at 2:45 pm on Tuesday.) Naturally, I'm trying to complete a dozen other projects at the same time. That's why an email like this gets my goat:
As the sign on the bar once said, "There is no free lunch."
- My apologies if my e-mail inconveniences you, i shall keep it short.
I have applied for the position of an ICT Trainer within the organisation that I work for. As part of the interview I have to give a 15 minute presentation on the advantages and disadvantages of using e-learning in the work place.
I have trawled so many sites and can find quite a few however, time is extremely short and I was wondering if you could state for me the main advantages and disadvantages of e-learning.
Regards
ALLAN
- Allan,
No.
I have written thousands of pages on eLearning's pro's and con's. If you are too lazy to read enough to give a 15 minute presentation, you probably don't deserve the job.

Sounds like this person is both lazy & arrogant. I wouldn't have the nerve to ask this question. The irony is that there is so much on the Net available through a simple search that this question should not even be asked. Personally, I think that you gave him more of time than he deserved, but then maybe this was a "teachable moment".
Damn cheek! If he doesn't already know enough about the subject to have an opinion and put together a presentation, then he is not eligible for the position.
