anyway echi feel free to pursue ui/ux but the actual design part is the easiest and least important, figuring out how to wrangle stakeholders and deal with the realities of shipping software is the key bit almost every piece of terrible software has at least one designer, maybe even a whole team of people, who are killing themselves to not let it be even worse qirex fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Oct 5, 2021 |

CarForumPoster posted:epic is a big improvement in many cases I almost got hired by an EMR company. Well. Almost got hired is a bit of a stretch. First, they said, "We don't think you're qualified for the intermediate programmer position, would you be interested in a junior programmer position?" I regarded this as a mortal insult, but I needed a job so I went to the interview anyway. Then, at the interview, the founder said to me (in person), "I didn't count your Master's degree as worth anything because I'm not educated myself." We parted on poor terms. I didn't get the job.

I worked on a small EMR that was backed by a local doctor and only used at a few clinics, it was written in Delphi 5 in at least 2010

actually no, he’s just an rear end in a top hat masters degrees are worth less in this field generally, but not worthless and the way it’s read, he wasn’t just discounting the masters, but op’s entire education. which is lovely and wrong

being uneducated doesn't make him correct about the degree, and being correct about the degree wouldn't make him correct about suitability for the job, and neither would make it professional to voice his opinion in such terms

Here's the new resume, with a couple more questions: -how up front do I get in a cover letter about my experience? -should I be looking for junior/associate/? level pm work so that I could learn how to do it for real? -where best to blast out this resume? just the usual indeed/monster type places? -apparently most (all?) staffing agencies are an indentured servitude scam, how do I get recruiters or a recruiting agency's attention? -should I include agile/scrum/pm-specific skills on my resume after I learn more of the language or will HMs be pissed I never used them in a real work setting? I'm feeling confident, yet very very overwhelmed. rereading everyone's v helpful posts has been almost therapeutic, thank you all again

theflyingexecutive posted:Here's the new resume, with a couple more questions: much better! i cant help with cover letters, i stopped using them after firstjob apply for everything imo. it sounds like you have the skills for project management already, so i dont think you need to restrict yourself to just junior roles, but idk the project management side well enough to say for sure. i'd say linkedin, but someone with more pm experience should confirm absolutely include agile/pm-specific skills. they're your skills, even if you don't use them at work. i've never written a heap overflow at work but i still list x86 and x64 binary exploitation as skills i have, because i do. once you have the vocabulary, try to phrase your existing work experience in terms of that vocabulary. did you have daily status meetings? now they're standups. don't lie of course, but tons of the jargon will probably apply to your existing experience cause it sounds to me like your talent coordinator stuff just _is_ project management, where the project is "making a movie/show/commercial/whatever"

Yes list the scrum poo poo, buzzwords are candy to recruiters. Most staffing places are not good, they forward your resume and then skim your checks and that's about it. Unfortunately some companies only hire through them though and if you have no experience it's a way to lower the bar if you're already vetoing them. Just apply to a bunch of pm jobs at various levels, you never know what will happen. My first job as a software engineer was at the senior level because that's what their opening was and they needed some people right now. I haven't written a cover letter in a long time either. They're not really necessary once you have experience. Just summarize your posts in a few sentences pretty much, say you've managed people but want to get out of film because it sucks butt PokeJoe fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Oct 6, 2021 |

man I don’t know where else to put this it’s just work chat but drat. i’m listening to my gf about a colleague. it’s insane how terrible someone can be and how long they can be terrible, and yet nothing can be done about it. the process toward getting rid of a employee who isn’t just bad but compromising the end product is near impossible and they’re basically going to restructure the whole company to make her redundant because being atrocious isn’t a good enough reason to fire someone

it is genuinely shocking when you learn how fast they can get someone out the door for complaining about racism or wage discrimination but it takes years to actually boot someone who is genuinely bad at their job
