There's another way to say that but I wouldn't use it in a job interview.

@glc @airwhale @criminalerin I was explaining to a recruiter that I named the staffing companies I'd worked for but not the company where I actually worked, because it was an explicit part of at least one of the contracts. The recruiter was surprised but accepted it.

(Almost anyone doing IT in Hillsboro, Oregon, is working for Intel, directly or indirectly.)

True story:
a freelance translator had notified the client that they charge by the character (standard procedure) and the client agreed. Upon getting the bill, the client asked that, hey, do we need to pay for the white spaces too???

The translator who was a total badass lady, removed all the whitespaces and faxed the document to the client, and told them that okey dokey, here is your text, I took the whitwspaces out! (Yeah, this was waybackwhen)

She then faxed the client two blank spaces and told that hey, the blank spaces I took out are on these, you can put them back in the appropriate places.

The client the coufhed up the money for the whole text...
