I'm still stuck on how a skills test is more racist than literally any other part of the hiring process.

I don't really mind being contacted by recruiters and I'm not against using one, but the messages from recruiters about helpdesk work is starting to get really old.

I've been reading the workplace stack exchange site as a "Dear-Abby" type guilty pleasure. Some types of posts I've noticed that keep popping up are: "Can I get in trouble for [felony/industry blacklist-level offense]?" <--Asked very nonchalantly "I see you've made yourself more efficient at your job by automating something. Good job obsoleting yourself IDIOT, prepare to be fired!" <--Always has 20+ upvotes "Is it legal to be chained to my desk and not get paid what I was promised? WebDev in Texas btw."

Got a mass email from university career services in my alumni mailbox that was a followup of another email from a year ago. Some guy (who I looked up on LinkedIn, he's a Director of IT e-commerce at a global hospitality company) was thinly veiling his disgust that he go no takers for some pet-project of his:quote:Dear Ms. [Career Services Director]: Original email included no info on expected pay, required time, desired skills, and was a giant wall of text.

ADINSX posted:What do you have in your profile that has recruiters hitting you up? It might be the webdev stuff but I'm guessing it's just because I'm really young so recruiters see that as me being more likely to be willing to relocate and also be less attached to a technology or industry. Also I'm in the Twin Cities, Madison/Milwaukee, Chicago belt which apparently has almost no unemployed devs but tons of dev positions. The only problem for me is that a ton of the positions I'm finding want people with 3+ years of experience which I can sort of say I have if I include internships.

Milwaukee has pretty good drivers for the most part. It's when you have a bunch of SUVs and mini-vans from the suburbs trying to get downtown and clogging up the road and double-parking that you have problems. Chicago has a lot of aggressive drivers but it's half good and half bad. The good half are aggressive because they need to navigate traffic to get where they're going and they don't gently caress around. The bad half are aggressive because they need to fit in someone's 1-car-length safety gap slightly ahead of where they are and arrive at their destination in the same amount of time anyway.

Milwaukee is good, people never believe me and then they visit and go "huh, it's actually good". It's not that expensive to live in and it's got a lot of cool poo poo. You just have to deal with the rest of WI that isn't Madison or Green Bay (only for the Packers) existing.
