ProSlayer posted:I'm currently interviewing with Google and it's been a horrible experience. It seems like their recruiters / engineers / managers are constantly busy so every time I have to schedule an interview, it takes a couple of days for the recruiter to get back to me, and then a couple more days to find a date/time that fit, which is nearly always a week or two out. So far, I've had to go through one recruiter call, one technical pre-screen, one onsite (w/ four interviewers), one follow-up technical, and now I'm being asked to schedule another follow-up technical interview. At this point, I don't even care if I'm rejected - I just want it to be over with. Being in job limbo is killing me emotionally. I stopped practicing LeetCode questions because I wanted to know whether I got accepted/rejected before continuing, but now I'm thinking I've wasted precious studying time. If the company wasn't Google, I'd have told the recruiter the recruiter that I'm no longer interested a while ago. i have my first phone screen with them next week. i don't know why i'm doing this to myself. always stress the gently caress out and have a panic attack. manager was kind enough to give a heads up that the team is likely getting laid off and she's trying to jump ship so i have to interview without the comfort of just saying i have a job gently caress it edit: i stress out and have panic attacks when i have a job, going to be great to find out what wondrous things my sadbrains put me through now that the prospect of no job looms KidDynamite fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Dec 5, 2018 |

Just remember that there are way easier interview processes out there and while working for Google may be appealing, you'll be able to find something if you keep at it. ...Emphasis on "may" by the way, the pay/perks might be awesome but the mind-blowing inefficiency/bureaucracy doesn't go away after the interview ends, according to friends that work there

Good idea y/n if you are on a dev team and concerned about knowledge transfer, you can just tell the boss that you're considering a vacation at some point and ask for time to to train people on the parts that you have exclusive knowledge of.

C-on-the-dole-Js: had a really good phone interview this morning with a hosting company then panic attacked and asked for a reschedule on an in-person at a VAR scheduled for later today. Two steps forward and one step back, &c. &c.

My concern is more that time to complete job search plus 3 more months is a long time but I also don't want to give my notice then find that getting a new job is way harder than expected. I've started already and it's not as fast as last time.

pointsofdata posted:Thanks. I think I'm going to wait until I at least have an interview with somewhere I'm enthusiastic about, so far only the more mediocre ones have responded don't let go of the job you have until you have a signed offer for the next one imo if 3 months is your required notice then let the next company you're interviewing with know - it's not something you can easily change as it's in the contract, but the next company might be willing to speed up the process if 3 months is the common in your neck of the woods, then there should be no problem at all with the next company (ymmv: here in japan if I quit my job and do not find the next one within 3 months, I lose my visa and have to leave the country) dragon enthusiast posted:what's the play for when you throw your resume at multiple openings in a company but only get a call for the one you liked the least go to the face to face or phone screen, blow their minds with your mad skillz and then ask about the other openings as has been said in this thread before, impressions of a company can change wildly after you've actually met and talked with them - who knows maybe your first position pick has an rear end in a top hat manager or there is some other unexpected surprise

if you dont take it down to 1 page at least take it down to 2 pages you did your masters 13 years ago, nobody gives a poo poo about coursework or gpa for either it or your undergrad. bam, down to 2 pages ditch the summary, "complete listing of professional experiences available on request" or cut down every job before 2009 into a total of 1 or 2 lines (not each, total), ditch the list of technologies right after the summary (cuz you shoved them in the skills list), pare down the job descriptions into things an employer might actually give a poo poo about, bam, down to 1 page e: pick a non-crap font bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Dec 6, 2018 |
