Valeyard posted:i got rejected for company B (their feedback was that i didnt give enough specific examples insome of the "culture" behavioural questions) which is pretty disheartening, they should have just asked me to give more detail rather than smiling and looking pleased with my answers That sucks though. I got strung along for two weeks after an interview I thought went really well with a similar response.

I'm conducting an interview soon for a fresh graduate who listed their ASVAB percentile, doesn't even have any listed military experience, and also listed their mediocre ACT score. A person I interviewed the other day left out a lot of relevant volunteer and leadership experience from their resume that I only gleaned after talking with them in person. loving bizarre.

Might be moving over the summer for my wife to attend university. Time to dust off the old résumé. Shout out to MononcQc for providing the nice LaTeX template a few months ago. It's clean and easy to modify: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3845966&userid=117596&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post490472500

Negotiate with the other company if you think it's somewhere you would like to work. If the FAANG falls through you still have a job you would have taken anyway. If you do get an offer from FAANG and accept it no one will care that you had an extra two week gap in your resume with them at the top.

I had an onsite three weeks ago and received an offer the following Monday pending a background check. The background check is still underway and I've been prodding the recruiters every couple days trying to get an update and I was CC'ed in on some of their internal communication revealing no one has any idea wtf is going on and this background screening company is dragging their rear end at every step. I had other offers and if I wasn't moving to the opposite corner of the country for this I would have told them to screw off already. Summary: see thread title.
