what I'm saying is that employers do not have sole responsibility for evaluating your competence as a hire. you have to do it to, with the long game in mind. so don't tell a lie that you aren't prepared to live with

what are ya'lls opinions on accepting a job with a company that directly competes with the company your husband/wife/partner works for mention it? if so, during the different screens or at the (potential) offer stage? don't mention it? the burden is on the company to prove some sort of conflict of interest in a given incident only when they think it happens? in my case we're talking about individual contributor roles in both companies, both are sales adjacent but neither are directly sales

A large upscale retail company sends me rejection letters for the same application every 6 or 7 weeks since September or so. I've started replying to each one saying I'm glad I'm not responsible for their software if their CRM is that lovely but I doubt that ever gets to a person.

I sent out my resume earlier this year and wasn't getting a lot of hits at least compared to when I last did this in the DC area many years ago. I decided to redo my resume, but it's been a while and I have a couple of questions about how to structure some of it. I don't know if there is a better thread for it, so i'll ask them here. A lot of the work I have done in the past/currently am doing involves just maintaining software and very rarely working on actual new features. What's the best way to word this? Is it better to focus on a specific portion, or a specific feature? How exactly should you word things you did that improved the general time it took to do a task but don't know specifics? Does it look bad if you don't have formal measurements for stuff like that? As an example in one my previous jobs I setup Jenkins to build and deploy our software. We never actually took formal measurements but informally it reduced a process that took a couple of hours to about 1-2 hours. As far as general structure goes I've been using this template as my model. Does that look like a good starting point? I'd share what i have currently but my resume has too much PII and I don't want to doxx myself. Thanks for any advice in advance.

if you did something that saved time, put it in eng hours and say how much you saved. if you don't have measurements, ballpark it. as long as you aren't lying nobody's gonna ask you to more than a "saves 3 hours per run times 10 engineers times 100 runs each per year" or whatever post the resume

also, as an interviewer, candidates are so bad at asking questions that if anyone actually asked anything remotely similar to any questions there, I'd assume they were a goon

one question that i like to ask is "do you feel that you are able to produce results that satisfy your personal level of quality?" i think this should reveal whether the organization cares about producing quality results or something

I've been that candidate as a young person, for me it stemmed from the extreme stress of the interview in general and the fact that I had no experience to draw from in which to craft questions. getting to the end of the interview itself was overwhelming and trying to think of something worth asking on the spot was extremely difficult now, how someone older than college age continually does this I'll never know

i just finished a process where every interview ostensibly had some planned time in the end for me to ask questions, but when we got to that point we usually had like 2-3 minutes of time left and while i did ask stuff it never became a longer discussion where i hoped that both parties would learn something

I would usually ask "what is a typical day like?" and that is about it. Now that i'm older and have worked a bunch i'd probably ask most of the questions in the OP as a default.

I have a continuously growing list of questions in a Google doc. Whenever I run into something that's either "That's awesome, how do I make sure I find this again in the future" or "this is absolute garbage I never want to encounter this in a job again", it goes in the list. An obvious one that has saved me some grief is "Can I get a short product demo at some point during the interview process, to have a better understanding of what I'd be working on?" If they show you a janky pos app, makes it very easy to turn down and move on

I have a fake-leather bound portfolio folder with a notepad in it i take to all my interviews. It has a few printed resumes and more importantly, notes from every interview I've gone on. I have a poo poo load of questions and answers and what to expect right in front of me, I bring the folder to interviews. It makes me look professional as hell and I never forget to ask anything because I have a list right in front of my eyes. Then I write down the answers so I can compare them to other companies/offers
