Normally I'm applying for contract posts and these extrenal interests are seen as positives, but in this case the large internet company expressed concern that all the other things I was involved in might indicate a lack of commitment to a full-time job. They still were still debating whether or not to invite me to a second interview when I accepted an alternative offer. That sounds short-sighted on the part of that first company. Imagine not hiring these positions for these reasons:
I suppose the real distinction here is people enjoying these hobbies while at the same time maintaining a public presence of some sort regarding that hobby. Anyway, the company you mention sounds short sighted. I'm glad you accepted that alternative offer. Matt
