lol just lol that anyone would offer their skills as at a level of less than 100% competence on a resume, the very first thing the person making a hiring decision seesFlat Daddy posted:I didn’t practice my salary range avoidance lines and ended up hemming and hawing so bad over the phone in a initial recruiter call when asked (“they won’t take applicants without a number”). at least it ended with me just not giving an answer rather than me farting out a low number and feeling like a dick hole afterward, like I’ve done before Practice is 90% of the game when it comes to this. They do it all day. You do it when you are forced to. Equalize the playing field and just practice practice practice. Doesn't matter if you use rote responses with recruiters, you're trying to win, not to impress. Shrug it off and find another position to try again

My current boss did that in reverse when inviting me in for an on-site interview. I'd expressed some reservations about the kinds of projects they were describing in the initial video interview and my boss emailed, "We are a smaller and more agile shop." Once I got here, I confirmed beyond all doubt that they meant small-a agile and not capital-a Agile. Lesson learned for the next round of interviews!

Chase gave me an offer and I was pressured to accept. The lead designer didn't have the best things to say off the record to where it feels like even more of a step back tech wise and skill wise. The salary is huge and it gets me out of the state into the Chicago market though? I'll be a UX Designer still not integrating with customers and access to no research. The tech stack is a desktop PC and they just got the newest Axure. Things are getting worse at my current job with the micro-management getting turned up on our devs. Luckily no one pays attention to lone designer so I've still got some space. I'm still not feeling great about this position. I have had a lot of growth in my current position in spite of it feeling like an albatross on my resume. I'm afraid of putting another albatross on there. I haven't gave notice to my current company yet. Still flying to NYC and doing an in-person at a sweet company there on Monday and my friend got me back into Humana's pipeline, which can be a position in Louisville or Chicago. Not sure if I should rescind my acceptance and wait? I'm so burned out I've been applying and interviewing for 8 months now. What does the YOSPOS think? cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Apr 10, 2019 |

I'll find out more next Monday and hopefully get some answers then. I think the NYC job will be so much better. I do like the lead. We clicked instantly and I think working with her and the other designers will at least be a nice change from being the only person.

The tech stack is a desktop PC and they just got the newest Axure. if your current job has you so burnt out then just do it. if the chase job is just as bad you can keep looking which is what you're already doing so no big deal. If the job is better then great, you can still look for new work if its not exactly what you want, but you wont be so stressed about it. also the point of a better resume is to get more money so if the chase job is a lot more then mission accomplished. keep in mind larger orgs tend to have better internal training and mentoring systems than startups and smaller orgs which wont have them at all. wrt tech I have no idea how much it matters for designers. if I was looking for a designer i'd probably want to see work output way more than anything else, but im not a designer

last night I said gently caress it and just applied to all the big ones and got my first response. I’m hoping the process takes 1 billion years because while I’m really killing it with the strings and linked lists portion of CTCI, if there’s anything harder than those questions I think I’m hosed. w/ the recruiter that forced a number I emailed a nice even number 40% higher than my already inflated comp and immediately got back a “...call me” email lol. my batna is keeping an easy relatively high paying (IMO) but unfulfilling job so w/e

If you aren't interviewing for a specific position, you can probably delay the phone screen and onsite by a month each if you want time.

After bouncing this resume around the forums a bunch (thanks to those who have given feedback already) I feel a lot better about this one, and am about to finally give this bad boi a spin. One last look would be a huge help!

Kill like a third of the bullet points, do two columns, then it's one page (Move heaven and earth to get it to be one page)

I didn't throw it in the trash but I rarely read past one page... I don't really care what you did 10-20 years ago in your career, I'm just curious about your last few jobs since that's what we're going to be talking about

Yeah for me 2 or 3 (if you're good) at the most is fine. But if I see more than that I immediately start thinking the candidate does not seem to understand the point of a resume, especially if I'm struggling to get the meat off the bone.
