The specifics might differ but yes, either contractor or consultant. It helps if you did some random contract work in the time that you can legitimately point out and refer, even if it only took like a few weeks or a month or whatever.

it could be an issue if you signed up for benefits, but if they are anything like here in the UK then you probably didn't if you could avoid it and if it's long enough ago they won't know about the benefits either

Corla Plankun posted:hey yall im feeling extremely bad about getting ghosted after a technical challenge last week (recruiter told me it was a "no" and the interviewer didn't even reply to my followup email, woof), would any of y'all mind looking at a (python, docker compose) repo and giving me some feedback? i had coffee with some recruiters today and they told me literally noone has passed this company's tech challenge and the req has been open for months thanks to everyone that reviewed my work and affirmed me as not sucking that bad! sometimes people are just impossible to please i guess

Love a good job posting that just sits there festering while Management scratches their heads. Like they'll somehow find the perfect candidate who will need no training if they just wait long enough.

a position you never fill may serve the role of keeping the devs in line while they await help that will never come, therefore keeping production costs lower.

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence or whatever the quote is.

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence or whatever the quote is. yeah I wouldn’t expect this bad of a behavior in most cases. it’s also far more frequent for places to do things like open a role at such bad salaries they never get the candidates they would need, or as a ploy to then complain no one wants to work and then get underpaid migrant workers to do it. but the incompetence is far more likely.

there are very few managers that don’t want to hire because hiring and managing those hires is a big part of showing their value to the company exception is if the manager is in charge of their hiring budget and process

here’s the thing. I wasn’t even looking for a new job and I definitely wasn’t looking to stop smoking weed. I’m trying to decide whether to just decline, ask if they test for weed, or take my chances
