I finally get to hire another person and I don't really know what to do besides give them a small technical test that represents a real thing I've had to do that has no gotchas, and talk to them. It's a junior position but is expecting people to know how JOINs and the commandline work junior? No trivia, just "how would you do this"?

DELETE CASCADE posted:there's a strange tendency for application programmers to view sql as somehow beneath them, which is especially funny when their application is primarily an interface to a sql database i absolutely rag on this for any of my other coworkers that are like "oh you dont need to do SQL so its great" this is how we got mongo motherfcukers

c interview s: smooth interview but wont hire based on technical chops i know test nerves are a thing but I was really up front about like "hey you can ask questions and use google to your heart's content" it was not a clever problem, it was something we've done tons on the job (using left joins correctly/effectively)

jit bull transpile posted:this kinda hard power poo poo doesn't work for women While talking with my SO about this kind of stuff, we both started looking into how this works as a gendered thing and so looked for books on the topic. We found the most highly recommended book on this topic is "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office". It is OK about introducing that women need to ask for more, but also does not say (often) that "guys are inherently biased against this for a ton of reasons". She has since found a much better job and negotiated into actually being paid well from taking this book's advice. I have been trying to think of better approaches than this in the same kind of context, but I'm stupid so I can't. I would like men to be less inclined to manage/act like this, and for poo poo to be less systematically stacked against anyone who is not a white man, but the aggressive line can work.

C Hiring S: If you provide an acquaintance's resume to HR or another department as a suggestion for a position (seekin that referral bonus), make sure to follow up with them, because hiring/that department may either drop it on the floor or never get back to you (and you want that referral bonus) Turns out a resume I provided a completely different department for a friend got missed because the head was on vacation, followed up, now they probably have an interview soon

with my current job i said nothing at all two weeks after starting, the (former) HR person cornered me and said we're not releasing your paycheck until you tell me how much you made at your last job didnt really care about the consequences at that point so i told em 50% increase job over job, they were kinda pissed edit: was drinking when i wrote this, removed a redundancy Share Bear fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Feb 16, 2021 |

Aramoro posted:I got rejected from a job at a consultancy place in Edinburgh because my grades from High School weren't good enough. 'We only higher straight A's!' tiny lol (i kid, i kid) quote:I think it's good advice to tell people that it's possible to apply and get interviews without doing these things, and also to complain about the unfairness of them / scold hiring managers in this thread for caring about these things too much, but these things definitely increase your resume response rate, which is the other side of the "resume bomb" coin. So in a thread that is giving people advice for breaking into the field, it wouldn't be great for people to leave the thread without that impression. If I didn't do these things back in 2013, there's a good chance that it wouldn't have worked out for me I think. I think it's really good to yell at people who are hiring (who are reading this thread, of which i was one for a good chunk of last year) to be aware of these biases and to do their best to undo them, and that they might be wasting people's time with these semiarbitrary shibboleths Share Bear fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 25, 2021 |
