Can anybody recommend an extension they trust with their work e-mail that can schedule mail sends in Gmail? Should I just suck it up and use Outlook for that?

BaseballPCHiker posted:At what point do you say enough is enough when it comes to interviewing for a job? The most I've ever had was a phone screening, 1st interview that was informal, and then a second more technical interview and overview of future projects and IT needs. If I ever have to past that I think I'll just say no unless I'm really desperate. It really depends on the position I think. For example our post-sales people end up going through 3 phone interviews and the last one is a 4 hour face to face. The first phone interview is usually the recruiter screener asking things like "have you ever..." and "do you feel comfortable with..." Usually 30 minutes. The next interview is usually the hiring manager trying to just understand their personality/attitude how they approach poo poo. Another 30 minute to 1 hour call depending. After that there's a basic technical screen to sniff out resume bullshit. We try to keep those at ~30 minutes even when they're going well. Assuming thats all good we'll bring you to the office for a halfday session that may involve whiteboarding, presentation, etc. If you're traveling then we'll put you up in a hotel and pay for airfair/car. If it's a sales or pre-sales then all that poo poo goes out the window and you end up talking to a couple of the account managers, the EVP who owns sales engineering, presales engineering, the EVP who owns professional services, and at least one of the owners.

Can you hook something in to whatever HR system you use? Can you make HR send the emails as part of their welcome package? Sounds like some kind of combination of a cronjob hooked to ldap could send the emails? I don't know how much unique information needs to go into them.

Docjowles posted:When I interviewed with Google, it involved: a recruiter phone screen, two hour-long technical phone screens, and a ~6 hour onsite (which did include lunch). Plus several hours on the phone with their recruiter here and there about various things. Not getting that job after investing all that time sure was a kick in the nuts! The interview process for Google was crazy for a management position. Multiple calls, one full day, one half day, then the closed the position. Never again google, never again.

After a few months of complaining that we're too overburdened, the Director of IT finally got board approval to open a req, and start looking to bring 1 more IT resource on board. Today's meeting about requirements for the posting, he said "let's get someone with an ITT tech degree, those guys know all the stuff we need them to know". My  can't come fast enough.

MrMoo posted:Commercial FreeNAS, the software lives on a USB stick and you provide the hardware. There are quite a few players in this space, including Open-e, Wasabi Systems, OpenFiler, Rockstor, ... None of these are remotely close to what Nutanix is... Nutanix is basically a storage/server system rolled up into a box where the local storage in every node gets presented back to all of the nodes as one big shared volume. Usually used for running some form of virtualization. A close analog would be vSphere + VSAN but nutanix also provides a lot of helpful tools to get up and running through wizards. It'll go through and setup the shared storage and instal your hypervisor of choice while you go to lunch. edit: Someone just posted this helpful link in the virtualization thread http://nutanixbible.com/ (thanks TwoDeer!) 1000101 fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Does anyone know of a way to block .js and .exe attachments from being downloaded as attachments on home computers? I'm trying to better secure my aunt's computer tomorrow. I'm going to put bitdefender, malwarebytes, and adblock extensions on there, but I'm not sure what else to do. She uses webmail, is the thing.
