I'm always weirded out when people say only use one page for a resume but then remember because i did stupid science i have a CV so it has to list my patents and publications. i started a new job a few months ago out of grad school and hate it because its not what i was expecting so i''m already interviewing for new jobs and the wait is awful. it takes forever for large companies to do anything.

PierreTheMime posted:I just did this and the recruiter was super-helpful and actually went to the mat to get me the rate I asked when the client pushed back. it's a 6mo contract-to-hire and it's basically just a buffer for the corp to not accidentally hire an idiot/liability and drop bad gets with little effort. I'm in a pretty specific field so typically when a recruiter cold calls me they mean business Contract to hire is ok when you really need a job and you don't have much experience, but for someone who's already employed full time it's an insult, especially in a specific field where THEY called YOU. If they mean business then I'd expect the offer to reflect that

controversial take: a readable two page resume is much better than a 1-pager that's incomplete or filled with walls of tiny 8 point text

I'm only going to look at the first page so it doesn't matter how long your resume is, the rest of that poo poo is getting ignored.

Two page resumes are good but like only if the important poo poo is on the first page. Everything on the second page I feel is for an optional bonus when you're coming into interview.

we keep getting candidates come in with four-page resumes jammed full of technologies and buzzwords (both an overall section, and an explicit section for each individual job listed) and we never read any of them. it's endemic and so stupid, nobody reads that poo poo. "ah yes I see you used .net 4.5 at your most recent job and .net 4 at the one before that and .net 3.5 at the one before that and .net 3.0 at the one before that, these are all very important for the work we do here."

resume tailoring is the easiest loving thing in the world 90% of the time don't include outdated/irrelevant skills, and don't put down poo poo you wouldn't be comfortable answering a question about in an interview

I mean 4 pages is obviously loving retarded and the fact they sent in more than 2 pages, let alone 4, is enough reason to reject them on the spot

so the recruiter has told me that I can pretty much expect an offer since starting the job search process, the girlfriend has gone from being positive on relocating, to lukewarm on relocating, to basically being against it now. So if I accept it, we're going to be mostly long distance for the entirety of the time that I'm working there. Apparently when I asked her about it at the start, and she said yes to moving, it was partially because she didn't think much about it, and partially because she didn't think I'd be successful in applying to big tech. i mean I can understand that it has negatives for her, since she wouldn't be able to work she'd have a big gap on her resume when we eventually come back to canada, and it would mean losing her current job that she really likes. but I mean surely hanging around califonia with tons of free time has some upsides too but I feel like if I don't take this opportunity, I'm going to regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon enough I'll start wondering what was down that other path. then again I grew up thinking anyone who ditched love for a career was an idiot, and here I am ready to head down that path.

your girlfriends instincts are right. as a woman you are investigated with great suspicion for any gap on employment. you should try to make long distance work if this job truly is the life maker.

ugh, why did she have to give an emphatic "yes" when I first asked her if she would move to california? like if it was more of a maybe, tell me so. I wouldn't have even applied if she hadn't said yes at first.
