I’ve grown to like gitlens to supplement the built-in git features. Otherwise I mostly just use the terraform hcl plugin and go and powershell language plugins. Checking my install I also have a bracket pair colorizer and the azure functions extension.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:I just did a migration with office 365, moving the files from the drive to share point was fine but the GUI is awful when trying to move a large number of files from one folder to another within share point. Ended up with a shitload of errors if you go too fast and it just stops you from doing more than a specific yet never explicitly stated number at once. And the libraries on doing stuff on share point in powershell is so bad it’s not even clear which library to use. If you’re moving files use the library sync. You’ll probably get throttled but unless you’re on a real tight time crunch it will get done with minimal headaches.

Also i feel like the default onedrive sharing setup of "let everybody share everything to anybody even as anonymous" is debatable, their rationale of "so you can get the bad user sharing data" is defeated by the fact that data still escaped.

Sure, at this point I'm just part of their numbers game, but there's a ton of decent companies out there actively snapping up all the talent they can.

wargames posted:I do have a linkedin, and while it suppose to be the opposite of tinder, in that young attractive (hr) ladies are suppose to message computer nerds only to get ignored. I find it to be exactly like tinder in that i am completely ignored by everything. 1: Get a picture. You probably already have one, but it helps more than you think. It should be professional, but people nowadays will understand a selfie taken via phone cam as long as you look presentable and professional. 2: Grow your network. You aren't an isolated person. Send connection requests to anyone and everyone you've ever worked with professionally. Even C-levels. Worst that happens is they just ignore your request. Many of those C-levels will accept your connection just to grow their own network. A larger network generally makes you look more relatable. 3: Get your work history updated with action-verbs starting each bullet point. Don't just list what your day-to-day was, list what big projects you are proud of completing, or rough time you had with a bad ticket and how you resolved it, etc. Someone coming from your one or two page resume (Yes it's okay for a resume to be more than one page now!) should be able to get a good idea of what you've done in the past. 4: If you're looking for $jobTypeA, then start researching it and tailor your resume (And work experience) to hit the buzzwords of $jobTypeA. Don't expect $jobTypeA to do that on your behalf. My original college degree was in education, but I'm now in a technical support field. You'd better believe that when I was tailoring my resume to this job that I was using technical support buzzwords and key phrases. This is what resume scrapers and automated reviews look for, and gets you past the initial HR review to that initial interview. Once you're talking with a real human, that's when you draw the lines of how your $background fits in and makes you a good fit for $jobTypeA. 5: The Negotiation thread has a lot of great advice, even just in the OP, of how to structure your responses around the all-important compensation question. Thinking about this now gets you thinking about how valuable you really are. You're technically minded. You are incredibly valuable. Don't let a prior lovely job convince you of anything otherwise. 6: If you can get coworkers you know previously to endorse you for things on LinkedIn, great. Even better if they have a cool title (Scrum Master, Director IT, etc) and write you an actual recommendation. When asking someone for a recommendation, it helps to give them something you want to highlight about your career. Maybe you worked with them on an issue around a project they were in charge of and a superstar? Ask them to highlight that! Generic recommendation letters can do more harm than good. Something specific will not only get you a better written letter in general (Since the person writing it is reflecting on the item fondly) but will give major credence to your profile over a generic "oh yeah, I worked with wargames for 2 years and (s)he was always very helpful and awesome".

One trick (besides just paying a pro a couple hundred to do your linked in) is to look at job descriptions of desired positions and just reverse engineer buzzwords from those. I may actually suck at IT stuff and have almost no worthwhile certs but I get spammed by recruiters.

One tip I got from a recruiter who was just shooting the breeze with me (also trying to convince me to apply for positions) when I was looking for security jobs. Dont just list your job, title, years in the employment history. Make it look a bit more like a resume with accomplishments listed, projects, and a ton of buzzwords.

Spring Heeled Jack posted:I saw a tip once to take the job listing and throw it into a word cloud generator. Take the most common words and work them into your resume. Holy poo poo. I just did this and I've already added 3 lines of achievements to my current job and refined some stuff from past jobs, all by reading a word cloud and going "Oh poo poo, I've done that!" One thing I've started doing is call out a Key Achievements section before Work Experience, with three essay-style bullet points that highlight the big traits that I'm bringing to the table and a project or example of each. I want them to be thinking "gently caress yeah, this is who we're looking for" before they even get to the job history. At what point do you just drop a job from your resume entirely? Surely nobody cares that I worked a night shift job at a NOC ten years ago where I walked around every hour and went "yep, no red lights, cool". But part of me is also worried that some HR idiot will pitch any resume that doesn't have "at least 10 years of computer".

Also strongly disagree on friending everyone and their mother. I’m not always the best at this, but it’s far more useful to only connect with people who can actually do things for you. Yes that can include recruiters. Edit: this also gets you to a place where nobody gives a poo poo about the resume very quickly.

What I've done is have it where I put the title and years, but no further description, then the older stuff I dropped entirely.

The rest of the post is good advice, but I want to expand on this point a bit. Don't count on recruiters and hiring managers extrapolating from the cool things you did, spell out how your actions improved the BUSINESS. "Reduced process X time by Y%" and "Saved 500 work-hours/year by automating Z" or "Using $HotProcess, grew sales by 15% YoY". They need to be true, and you need to be able to talk about them confidently in an interview. If you have the opportunity, sprinkling some savings numbers on your resume/linkedin is like gold-plating it. Make the connection easy for the non-technical people, and your whole process will be smoother. One of my favorite personal examples is we had a major project to replace a ton of physical servers that were high-security, and isolated from our normal deployment environment. The only access we had was via remote management. My team-lead was going to just manually configure 75+ servers through the GUI while watching a movie after hours, working from home. The manual process took about four hours per server. I took one look at what he was going to do and said "no that's dumb". I spent a workday breaking down his manual process into two PowerShell scripts and built them into a floppy image (!) because we could copy that to the remote management tool. Reduced the configuration time down to a few minutes per server. The end result was turning roughly two work-months into a single work-week. Our part of the project finished early, and my team-lead got a bunch of his evenings back. That's a bullet-point practically every interviewer has asked about.

On one hand, this specific technique is probably not valuable to future employees, and you could frame it as being about knowledge of the tools, and it wouldn't communicate much. But if you frame it more broadly, about how you saw a problem, understood available tools, and were able to use your knowledge of those tools to save all this time, you show how you can solve problems to save time, which is valuable in any context. I'll have to think about this, because it's a lot of what my experience is, and what I'd like to convey when I talk about what I do.

Resume talk is always interesting. I am in the short, to the point resume person when reading it as a hiring manager. Your last 3 jobs are the most important and that is what I want to read. A page front and back is all I need. Our interview is where we can go into more detail and figure out if we are a good fit. The issue is that some managers (hello infosec, you fucks) expect novels. If you don't have a 4 page resume then obviously you aren't experienced enough to look at their nessus scans. I honestly would prefer to dodge these types of weirdos, but they are so entrenched in the industry that this is basically impossible. This has become increasingly more frustrating as more people I have worked with have used me as a reference for new opportunities. Yes, I am becoming more in love with the infosec side of the house every day while also loathing infosec employees more and more. I am somehow more jaded than before.
