qhat posted:from page 6 but i'm gonna give this a shot at a big company here and see what happens that’s some serious overthinking. look, managers have headcount to fill. they want someone who will write some code well. recruiters have hiring goals. they want to find a candidate that will pass the interview and agree to accept their offer. they’re all humans just like you are, they’re not gatekeepers to some exclusive club. they want good candidates just as much as you want a good job. just be a normal human and say that you’re looking for a job, you like their company, and you think you could fit in there and have the skills they want.

If recruiters cared particularly about finding qualified candidates they'd press their clients/employers for realistic criteria vs. "must have 5 years same-version experience in every tech we use"

literally noone ever reads the cover letter. for real, never. it'll only ever be possibly read when you've already been shortlisted for interview, but often it will still be disregarded. just say something short, normal and polite, list some correlations between the job description and your resume in bullet form, and finish with your email / phone number. that's it. i find it hilarious when i see someone has obviously spent hours writing an essay for the letter, because i always just roll my eyes and immediately throw that one page in the bin

Is it worth it to get certifications while I'm still technically student? Also I had my first phone interview today and it went well. Meeting in person in two weeks. Stoked to not be a poor. First question right off the bat was "is this job going to bore you?". Nah man, I'm actually curious about stuff.

Kudaros posted:Is it worth it to get certifications while I'm still technically student? Ops or Dev? From what I can tell (not a dev guy) there are literally no dev certs worth paying for. Ops, yeah sure, can't hurt/might help. Most colleges/universities will also have a thing where you can buy vouchers cheaply.

lampey posted:If you fit all the preferred requirements you are overqualified The trouble is the hard requirements are kinda broad "software Dev exp in languages like C++,c#,java,python,etc", "experience of full SDLC", etc, and the preferred requirements drop a lot of ultra specific stuff which I have nothing of. I might drop an application in anyway because whatever though.

qhat posted:. I might drop an application in anyway because whatever though. because, whatever.  Currently contracting for a place. A sibling team is looking to hire me on fulltime, the job description for the role I’m being recommended for is a kind of analytics tooling engineer while I’m more web and services. Something I’d never consider, the job description reads like someone doing SEO.

Coffee Jones posted:because, whatever. Is it actually a thing where an SEO job could harm your future job prospects? Like if you went for an interview and explained what your current company does, and they ask "uh, isn't that against Google's terms of service?" and you basically have to mealymouth your way out of it?
