The Management posted:oh hey, a rejection letter from a company I interviewed with three weeks ago. I pretty much figured out that they weren't hiring me by the three weeks of silence. lol i got one last week from a job i applied to five months ago like, why the gently caress are you even bothering at that point? are you trying to be insulting?

my favorite rejection letter story: i was working at some place and their internal recruiter just pinged one of my friends out of the blue. he asked me "hey should I work there" and I went "nah it's not that great, don't move here unless you really hate where you are" so he emails back to the recruiter a "thanks but no thanks" four weeks later he opens his mailbox and finds a rejection letter for a job he didn't even apply for

Just had a pretty good technical phone screen, but I need some kind of one-liner about moving onto next steps. "Alright, what's next?" lol, I didn't say that but what one-liners do you guys use to wrap things up after a decent technical screen?

I have a rly bad habit of saying "okay, see ya later" whenever I say goodbye to anyone, and it comes off super horribly in interviews because then I'm just a smug rear end in a top hat who thinks it's a foregone conclusion that I'll be moving forward

Graduating from school looking for electrical engineering jobs and it sucks. All the job postings seem to want at least a masters degree, and of the ones I have applied to, one got back to me. In their supplemental application they want 7 years of rental history. Why would they ever want that?

at redhat, background checks were super important because 9 times out of 10, the applicant would send in a screenshot of KDE with some waifu visible behind the layers of compositing. no thanks.

All the job postings seem to want at least a masters degree, and of the ones I have applied to, one got back to me. Like are you including any firmware/software stuff in there or are you strictly looking for signal janitoring positions? Pure HW positions are kinda rare so it may take you a while to find the right one. If you're careful, you could go for a technician position, there are certain teams where moving from technician to engineering positions is very possible (but also teams where that will never, ever happen). It may seem like all the postings are for super-senior positions, but that's mostly because the more senior positions take a long-rear end time to find someone for.
