even if youre doing it to help somebody it still feels a bit like making ads for cigarette companies

for ease of use slides should be defined by having a line like "SLIDE 1" etc. Dave from hq mentioned that some of the presentations have been a bit off brand so you'd better disable the abiliry to change the presentation theme

I left my computer job at the end of feb because I'm going to an apprenticeship w/ smithsonian research in ohio this summer. I was hired in november and had no projects assigned to me in hte 4 months I had the job so I just browsed and worked on my personal projects for 8 hours a day.

I would have given myself another 2 weeks but they probably would have started prepping for an actual project and I didn't want to look like a jerk leaving immediately after that.

I had to vet some "developers" from a large staffing firm that rhymes with Adventure. They were using the same Powerpoint slide as a "resume" and just pasting the box with their skills on top of the previous guys. Like, you could load the file in Powerpoint and drag the top text box away and the last guy's "resume" was under it.

Like, they did a presentation during the interview? Please, please tell me they did not submit something that was supposed to be a printed document as a pptx. I beg you.

That's precisely what happened, they emailed the Powerpoint slide "resumes" to us and we talked to them on a conference call. I was looking at them on my laptop and tried to drag the text box and whoops, there's the other guy's poo poo underneath it.
