I work for a large Green Energy Company. We have/had 70 people starting in September. We have a LOT of growth. We've posted 24 openings in the past two weeks in almost all departments. *I am unhappy but thats not an indictment of the company as much as it is the person i work for.

I had an old boss tell me it was absolutely essential to keep your resume to one page, but I'm also hearing it's super important to brag about yourself. As I've racked up almost a decade in my industry, it gets more difficult to be precise about my experience without being verbose. your old boss was a putz. couple things: 1) don't brag on a resume, you should sell. selling is puffing yourself up for a purpose (getting a job), whereas bragging is puffing yourself up for its own sake. 2) this is arbitrary but if you have 5+ years in your industry with multiple positions, i believe a 2 page resume is fine. if you're still hitting a block, i'd suggest taking it to a neutral third party and having someone else buzzsaw through it 3) my resume hole is always open so if you think it's a format thing, lemme know (see above) edit: wolfs posted:I’m selling plasma woohoo  you don't have money so you're selling plasma, but you have enough money to afford plat to lmk how we can work together so you can stop selling your plasma? hmm.... curious Business Gorillas has issued a correction as of 03:29 on Sep 22, 2021 |

It's probably worth making more than one version of your resume, also. I have a long one that lists all the poo poo I ever did professionally in music, and a short one that doesn't, one's for music related jobs and one is for non music related jobs.

I was always told to have a master version of your resume that's as long as needed, with everything possible. but you never give this to anyone, you get rid of whatever isn't useful and give that version for the specific job anyways, I may have secured a job but if not, I will be hitting up the gorilla man because this job hunting is so loving depressing.

Heh, my relevant professional work experience is in the music business, though tangentially (industry measurement, which deals with all of the major labels/retailers). The music industry seems more difficult to get employed in, despite the fact that a lot of these jobs suck and have to be in one of three cities where all their corporate headquarters are. Namely NYC, LA, or Nashville. Business Gorillas posted:3) my resume hole is always open so if you think it's a format thing, lemme know (see above) I may get you a copy in the DMs then. I honestly wish the standard was people's LinkedIn profiles instead of their resumes, LinkedIn has much better context and you can see if they managed to stay connected with people they used to work with. I've always found this entire process to be truly bizarre. Like the skillset that makes you good at interviewing or writing a resume is rarely the same skillset as the job you're interviewing for. We went through 3 different employees in recent years that had very promising resumes and interviewed really well then were completely useless and incapable of getting better until they either quit or were "laid off."

Physics Assistants, Licensed Physicists please holler at me if you want to work in Iowa or are in the region.

To be honest I'm mostly looking for advice for moving forward in the next 6 months to a year, but if you read this and think I could potentially fill a WFH opening then please feel free to pass it on! (I'm located in Kentucky!) My background since college (BS (lol) in Poli Sci) has been mostly insurance claims and then recently I started working for a loan finance company. I've always toyed with getting something more computer toucher focused and obtained an A+ Cert recently as a sort of trial to see if I could still learn and cared enough to learn still, I guess I do because I did a pretty good job passing it! (Yeehaw!) Anyway, I've been considering a focus on Data Analyst/Data Administration type work. My current job has me doing some basic SQL queries and also doing queries in iSeries. Previous work had me keeping up with data and files in all manner of proprietary and company tailored software. SQL is the skill I always hear as being the big basic building block for Data Admin. But what does that look like as far as me learning it? Like I said I've been building relatively basic queries through work, but it seems like a lot of the skillsets people are really looking for has to do more with maintaining SQL servers. What's the best way to really go about adequately building experience with that and is there a good way to really show something like the off to a potential employer? It doesn't seem like it's something I can quite just cram on a Github or what have you? Also beyond SQL what would be good to work on? My work uses a lot of Access because that is how someone set a number of things up, but Access seems to have a pretty middling reputation from reading online and talking to a couple computer toucher friends. Python seems to be the other thing that pops up a lot when reading about data admin type work. Are there any certs that are worth getting that are more data admin focused?

Python seems to be the other thing that pops up a lot when reading about data admin type work. Are there any certs that are worth getting that are more data admin focused? I can tell you what my experience has been as a data analyst in the music industry for the last 5 years. Note that all of this is based on what I've done and talked to others at labels about, probably different for different industries. The skills for retrieving/organizing/administrating data warehouses are usually learned along the way or handled by insane database experts that have been doing it forever. Also a lot of companies have proprietary internal tools for the organizing data that can't be learned until you work with them, but almost all of them are just simple frontends for a SQL database of one brand or another so understanding SQL is very valuable, as you said. The most valuable skill for a data analyst that I've found is being able to tell a story about the data. Basically my job has been to look at spreadsheets and tell VPs with 5 braincells what it all means. Being able to make pretty and easy-to-understand graphs out of big data sets is super useful for this. Excel, Google Sheets, Tableu, whatever the platform is you're comfortable with, get used to being able to point at a line and say "this is good" and "this is bad" and why. Learning to speak in corporate buzzwords helps a lot too, as that's the language the people you'll be reporting up to speak for everything. Having a good understanding of the trends and history of whatever data you're analyzing helps a lot with that too. For instance I know that rap albums tend to sell/stream better in NYC, LA, Atlanta then places like Nashville or Tampa. It really doesn't have to be deeper than that when you start, just being exposed to the data over and over will teach you about whatever industry over time, and any entry-level position won't expect much more of you than that. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

(I'm located in Kentucky!) If you want to focus more on the data analysis side, it would be a good idea to pick up expertise in one or more BI tool like tableau or power bi. When we've got good analyst candidates in the interview process that have similar levels of SQL knowledge the tiebreaker is whether or not they have experience with visualization software.

They finally did pay us a whole week late without ever having said a single word to us about it. Not even 'hey, we know your paycheck is late, we're working on it'. Nothing. No "hey sorry your paycheck was late" either. Just total silence. I'd feel a little bad about soaking hours in the training until the new job started if they hadn't dicked me around like that. Next friday at the end of the day I'm just gonna ask the trainer to go into a breakout room so I can ask how to send this computer they sent me back, because I ain't comin back. Honestly it's for the best that they did it because it pushed me to say gently caress it and jump ship and I'm glad I did. It seems like an actually good company to work for from everything I have seen and heard about it so far, and I've even googled around looking for people bitching. They have surprisingly high employee satisfaction and I mostly see posts of people being like 'yea, I referred my family members too so now we all work here, and also my dad's worked here for 15 years' or some poo poo like that. Companies that understand the value of happy employees are loving rare and it seems like we've found our way into one, and if that's the case then I could see both my wife and I staying here for many years. It makes me want my type-A personality obsessiveness to activate and really try to gas my metrics and do my actual best at the job. empty whippet box has issued a correction as of 16:45 on Sep 24, 2021 |

any resources for writing computer toucher resumes and getting back up to speed after a long uh hiatus. ive been out of work for just a little longer than covid has been raging, so just about two years now. i had to walk from my last remote webtoucher job after almost a decade due to a long history of missed paydates and constantly getting ghosted by my boss that was causing significant hardship both financially and mentally. i have little to nothing to show from it in the way of projects, clients, networking so i've been having a tough time finding work even though i had semi-decent chops. I pretty much gave up looking for work halfway through 2020 after months of no interviews or any communication beyond an occasional rejection. anyway i need work soon so if yall know anything i should do to help me get back up to speed skills wise and any leads on some kind of remote computer/web touching job would be appreciated. i would even accept something in that realm even if the pay is modest. It's more important that I have money coming in at this point. I got a decade of remote work experience under my belt doing webdev, mostly through CMS like DNN & WordPress. Lots of experience programming in C#/.NET, PHP, SQL anything from custom integrations to standalone bespoke apps and services. I also handled servers/hosting, e-mail, migrations, client support and maintenance. Basically CTO/IT/Lead dev/Support in one. did not get paid well unfortunately. no formal education just a long history of google and throwing myself at it over and over again. appreciate any help. edit: guess i should mention i am in NC Reverend Zero has issued a correction as of 09:37 on Sep 28, 2021 |

go to the computer toucher forum. theres a yospos interview thread, i think theres a resume one somewhere too. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3845966 include your skills at the top, followed by jobs history. match the job posting skills to the resume, its easy with computers. for example heres a zillow posting for an android dev i just copied off indeed: quote:3+ years of software development experience so put
etc, at the top. then describe some apps/projects youve made and your job responsibilities. you can just take the skills straight from the posting and make sure they're mostly all on your resume. if you aren't actually familiar with the buzzword just google it, if it's a library you can probably just download it and gently caress around with it's samples enough to be able to talk about it for the 10 minutes an interview requires. make a toy project if you don't feel comfortable enough to put it on the resume. recruiters are just trying to match words on the posting to resumes and most of the time don't know what the tech the words are for even is. if you have some experience it's a real meat market out there really, you'll get bombarded with recruiter emails with the right combination of buzzwords on your linkedin.

I need some advice for resume writing that’s not quite enough to actually engage a resume service: how do I list multiple patents? I’ve got 7 granted and 2 pending patents at my current work. Most online resources say to list the full title of the patent and the patent number but if I listed the titles but those will be like a full quarter page and that’s excessive. Do I just list “7 patents granted, 2 pending related to <job/project>” Do I just list the numbers? Do I say “I got patents yo, email me for details?”

(I'm located in Kentucky!) I work as a senior data scientist but have in the past held titles like research assistant, data analyst, quantitative strategist, data engineer. While some are more focused in certain areas they all are like a huge venn diagram of overlapping responsibilities. Currently i work closely with our R&D folks, DBA's, and data analysts. For breaking into any of these roles, I would echo what others have said: be competent in SQL, learn to at least understand Python (not necessarily writing full stack poo poo from scratch but be able to read and understand source code), and Tableau (or some other BI tool, if you learn one you can learn any of them. I've jackknifed between tableau, quicksight, and useless proprietary ones). If you are learning SQL or python, learn the basics but don't set some unobtainable level of competency for yourself. Everyone in these roles is just googling and searching stack overflow constantly. The most important part is learning how to learn those things on the fly and being able to troubleshoot what you don't know. also don't fret not having some specific degree. my masters is in psychology and i practiced as a clinician for like 2 years lol. however that was intensely research focused and led me down a winding path of doing more and more intricate research until i'm here for some reason.

empty whippet box posted:been doing some reading about Utah labor laws. I filed a labor board complaint when NTT Data switched payroll to a different vendor, people were getting hours dropped if not blown paychecks. HR was bumbling as usual, and then we went in house during this period as preplanned, so we weren’t around to wait for them to fix it. I got 6000 bucks because they also were super late with my last check and vacation payout. I dealt with their lawyer out of Boston and we settled for the amount owed, since CA doesn’t accept excuses in lieu of payment. Probably didn’t make sense to fly her all the way out here just to get dunked on since there isn’t even an argument they can make. I had drag my dopey coworkers kicking and screaming into filing, even after I got mad money out of it. My supervisor was the most hesistant, but when he finally did it he got 11,000 bucks. I collectively got over 20000 out of that loving company between all my coworkers, and my supervisor said that the labor board had an unusually large file for NTT data

if anyone is looking for customer service work, there are tons of really good 100% remote/wfh listings right now, check out https://www.ratracerebellion.com and if you have any questions about the process ask me, cuz i'm basically an expert i'm about to start a really nice gig with Humana Healthcare that has crazy good starting pay and day 1 healthcare bennies most of these companies are hiring en masse and filtering people who can't cut it, so your resume doesn't matter a ton (unless you're trying to get a more involved/higher paying type of remote customer service job) if you have any customer service on your resume you're probably golden, even if its retail, if you can hack these types of gigs, the benefits are usually worth the hassle (you really need to be able to compartmentalize and be super comfy on the phones, but hey, the only way to get there is to do the work) most of the companies provide equipment for you to use (dell thin clients and 1-2 monitors, and a headset), but they usually require you to be able to hardwire into your modem (pro tip: using your computer's ethernet port as a "modem" is usually invisible to systems checks as an ordinary wired connection [look up bridging]) smarxist has issued a correction as of 14:04 on Oct 3, 2021 |

hello thread, my wife and i are seeking wfh work and aren't sure where to start. my job is trying to axe wfh options at the moment, and my wife has an awful grocery job where management foists all the responsibilities onto her, to the point where she seriously injured her back. so we're both on leave until the end of november, and that's our deadline to find other work. i'm homeschooling my kids at the moment, so ideally i'd like a job that didn't start until the afternoon, or has some degree of flexibility with regard to schedule. i've got a lot of experience working in higher education, and an MPA that i earned early in 2016 with the intention of fixing government from the inside in order to help out my fellow man (  ). my wife's got a BA and she's always excelled at her work, but she's concerned about the several-year-gap on her resume from when she had to quit work in order to raise our kids, because childcare is a money holeis there somewhere i can get resume help? i've got mine updated, but i haven't been able to land a good job with my resumes, so i'm assuming it needs revisions p.s. thanks for your pm business gorillas. sorry i fell out of contact, the last month has been a mad dash of trying to get homeschooling up and off the ground

I'm leaving my position soon for a higher level one, and want to let goons know about the coming vacancy before anyone else. Its requires a sorta very specific person but maybe a goon is that person! The position is with the California Air National Guard as a Title 5 Civilian. That means you are in no way IN the CANG, are not expected to do any military poo poo, are not deployable, etc etc. It also means full benefits, government pension, TSP, and all that. This is not a contractor position, but a full time no-poo poo employee. Our tower is on the opposite side of the flightline from the military folk (who are, honestly, barely military themselves), and you won't have to interact with them too much. The actual job is known as ATCALS maintenance, Nav-Comm, Tech-Ops, RAWS or whichever name is in vogue at the moment. We maintain a single, small airport in the south bay of the San Francisco area. We have ILS, TACAN, CM-200s, FDIO, ETVS, and other smaller systems. Apart from me, there is one other tech and the chief of maintenance. We have a very close relationship with the controllers, and things are extremely chill here. We've even managed to get some WFH going. Pay is the GS-11 scale + 44% locality pay. There is also a retention bonus that is constantly getting hosed with each yeah, but is usually another $600 a month / $5000-7000 a year. Position is not posted and announced to USAJobs yet, but will be hopefully soon. I think there may be restrictions on who can apply (no straight civilians); but if you are qualified to work on the equipment and know what the gently caress it is chances are you meet the requirements. Thats typically prior military or the FAA (who is usually prior military). Feel free to PM me on SA; I'll see it quickly since I spend so much of work time on the forums (Its loving CHILL, man). Please reach out to me if you have any interest or questions. I'm not the hiring manager but my opinion will carry a lot of weight on the process.
