Scott Baio Nudes posted:okay cool thanks. i know our hiring people are pretty biased against less than 2 year work experiences. the original plan was to land a software job or stick it out till graduation but its become pretty toxic it's definitely not good to have a short tenure, but it's not like, disqualifying you might get asked about it. make sure you have a nice, calm, non-judgmental version of events that doesn't make you sound like a cynical rear end in a top hat

Only times I've ever asked about an odd short tenure it's always been under the assumption that the company probably sucked real bad in some way and unless the candidate is outright a jerkoff in their answer, I probably don't care too much.

what about internal transfers? say if i graduate and an internal software engineering position is available, would it be a black mark on me to try to transfer after a year?

the one thing i’m coming to realize is that by digging myself into the happy little niche of nosql i get to avoid tech trivia interviews. everyone knows that no one knows how their stuff works and act accordingly

Especially if you order an extra coffee you wouldnt otherwise drink in the morning so you arrive at the interview mildly overdosed on caffeine

counterpoint: being late is usually not a big deal and it is waste of life being early for everything. adjust to what stressed you out the least, but i think more people overall suffer from applying excessive margins than do from being late. e.g. spending too much time at aggressively terrible places like airports and jobs.

Er obviously I'm not suggesting he turns up before the building is open. I'm just saying to anchor people's first impressions around something positive, i.e. by turning up at the time they've asked you to turn up that day.

day 1 is always going to be weird because you're showing up to HR to have your badge issued, then laptop/PC/accounts setup, whatever. day 0 (interview) and day 2 (first day with your boss) are what counts i'd think

It all counts, just do precisely what they've asked you to do for the first week or so. You might not know it but first impressions can last a stubbornly long time, even years into your job, so making good ones should be the highest focus of your first week. That's usually what I do anyway.

sure, best to not be late, but it really isn't worth being too worried either (like, if traffic is truly terrible people will understand). and certainly don't arrive too early your first day, as you're there strictly a task someone will have to take care of, rather than in any real sense being an asset.

sitting in a lobby or conference room waiting for orientation is not much of a burden if they have you coming in early but orientation isn't until the afternoon, that'd be really weird

Before my first day at my current job, HR told me I was set to meet with them at 9:30 to fill out the first-day paperwork. Fortunately, I asked my boss if I should arrive at 9:30 or at some other time and they clarified I should arrive at 8. Don't know why my boss just assumed I knew their intended schedule.

Just finished an interview with an in-house corporate recruiter. I told her I was working with 5 recruiting agencies. She said "professional-to-professional" I shouldn't work with anymore and even 5 is too many as companies might end up with multiple copies of my resume and it makes me look desperate. I assume this is a recruiter lie to get me to limit my options.

Then she threw out a number, which I just remained silent about, so she threw out a bigger number. Then I said I was thinking a little more and upped that number by 15%. She said wow that's a lot more but said she wanted to talk to the team and have them meet me. So I guess I should have thrown out a bigger number. This is a weird process and I am bad at it.
