im getting a lot better at interviewing by giving them. turns out the person interviewing you does not give a single poo poo at all about it, so don't sweat it

:yeah:

i've interviewed replacements for one of my previous superiors (he passed away :rip:), and i'm literally thinking about lunch or something else while interviewing

which leads me to ask: has anyone here been in the position to hire people and rejected anyone? if so, what kinds of reasons have you decided against hiring them? what kinds of things can people at large work on and improve in order to better their odds?

i've rejected people because i felt i wouldn't jive with them even if they were qualified :shrug:

every ETL position I’ve seen just wants Excel/CSVs dumped into a database. nowhere does reversing a string array come into play

even using something more complicated like SSIS is just column mapping and making sure column types are correct :shrug:

yeah looking at a resume with a 1 year gap is a big red flag and i would probably not even consider it if it came my way.

it sucks but i don't have time to waste

I hoped you were joking, but I know you’re not :wtc:

I have hobbies outside of programming. Sorry I don’t dream in code and spend all of my free time programming :shrug:

their pto, according to glassdoor, has everyone starting out with 6 weeks off per year, so that's worth something at least :yosnice:

i was hoping since they weren't for-profit, that they'd invest in their employees, but i guess that's too much to expect these days
