I think it's been a couple years since I've had spam from my college-era resume on monster but it's always obvious because it has no relation to anything I'm interested in just college degree == qualified sad thing is that'd be an ~8 year old resume at the time

I see you have the great experience with low-level Linux kernel C programming, here is a job that requires 10 years of Microsoft visual C++ experience, is located in the deep south, is a 6-month contract, and no possibility of working remote remote. please kindly get back to me for when we can set up an interview. this is the sort of recruiter spam that made me aware of King of Prussia, PA

I resigned on Friday the 10th and got a formal offer for a bit more than I was making a week later. still interviewing though, obvs, but I'll probably end up there this must be a symptom of full employment in this industry, right? going from one six figure job to another in a week (or less depending on how you count) is an outlier, right?

lancemantis posted:Thanks for reminding me that the technical interview has spawned a whole branch of industry that will further serve to entrench it; more SAT prep yay! this thread is a great reminder that the skills used to filter candidates are often the ones people need refreshed because they don't (or very rarely) use them on the job I find it helps to laugh when faced with the kind of situation that might have been in a first draft of Brazil but got cut for being too obviously stupid

So if you know SQL but are tired of doing OLTP or whatever you can make the switch to a big data job fairly easily. the place I just started is so loving protective of their drat TSQL server it's kinda pathetic oh don't do a query against thousands of records hourly that might stress it ugh ffs we need to fix this poo poo drat
