JawnV6 posted:weird how that got better results than "some rando friend of a friend from toronto that needed the terms 'creepage & clearance' defined working on a board handling mains"??? JFC don't trigger me! My ex-boss is a sonar guru, so I trust him when it comes to things handling lots of power. *Edit* He also did the entire board layout in two weeks after the specs and parts were finalized. He also doesn't use auto-route in Altium except for trace-length dependent chips such as DDR. FlapYoJacks fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Apr 14, 2017 |

I have zero experience in Java but I've received messages from 7 recruiters in the last 24 hours about a Java position. I predict at least 3 more messages before the day is done.

"What makes you unique?" is getting kinda old in these interviews. I get how to game the question and all, but it's a half step removed from "what kind of animal would you be"? I'm a normal boring guy who touches computers for a living, probably better than average but you'd learn much more about that if you'd quit with the tired cookie cutter questions and just talk with me about the projects I've worked on and products I've delivered.

ShadowHawk posted:Not seeing the problem here. Answer the way you want to. That's the point though. Discussions of the position, company and candidate's past experience I find far more informative as the interviewer than doing this business: Why are you leaving your current job? *answer* Ok, what is your greatest weakness? *answer* Ok, what would your last boss say about you? *answer* Ok, ... I can spin bullshit for every one of those questions, but that's harder to do when digging into the specifics of actual work.

its the same reason sending a thank you email after an interview is such a good idea - not because the recipient will believe that you really were excited to meet the team and eager to take the next step, but because it shows that you respect the unwritten forms of corporate culture and signalling

and then follow it up minutes later with the snuff film where you, sobbing and quivering wildly, blow your brains out, demonstrating yout strength of character and principle which will not suffer the indignities of interviewing easily. you're basically hired at that point

lol if you think you're important enough to the company or it's employees to even have your name remembered 30 seconds after leaving which is about 10 seconds after the hiring decision's already been made get that email like "which one is this again?" e: rules may be different for not corp IT people, for example i don't have a clue how marketers deal with their own. presumably it involves some sort of loyalty gauntlet of bees and knives, or bee coated knives, or bees with knives Bhodi fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Apr 15, 2017 |

did not get called back though on a separate occasion during an interview for some robotics company, one of their questions was (two-parter) A) how would you find out how many ping-pong balls could fit inside a milk jug, and B) if you had to guess right now what would you estimate. didn't get that job either.

years ago when I almost became a Mac Genius the big interview question they gave me (at the mall food court) was: how would you design the perfect toilet? Apparently my answer was either too lovely or not lovely enough.

had a recruiter call me six goddamn times yesterday afternoon in a fifteen minute span while im with the family at a theme park, loud as hell, and only leave whisper-level messages i finally duck into a less loud corner to call then, mostly to tell them to stop, and the fucker goes to voicemail. only after I've left a message do I immediately get another call I tell the guy I'm at a theme park, call me monday when he insists (after having to repeat himself eight times) he conference me with his manager for a very important 3-5 minute call managers only question after all this poo poo: "are you still interested in this position?" this is for a job discussion that up until now had been completely email based fuckers

a recruiter who went by only "batman" cold-emailed me with some bullshit, so I made fun of his name and then ignored his response. a couple of weeks later he emailed again with new opportunities with a couple of new blockchain clients he had. who makes these people.
