I sent a resume to a place these days and HR seems to be fumbling around because nobody even knew there was an embedded linux position in the company not sure what to think about this but maybe it's kind of a bad sign

Boiled Water posted:seems like it's the worst sign only if you're hot poo poo I guess, which I'm not. also the job description sounds very chill, like a big requirement point is "CAN YOU WRITE SHELL SCRIPTS" and I'm here like "birch please" Gazpacho posted:how big an organization? information gets lost sometimes. send them the job description and tell them where you found it it's pretty big but I don't know, I sent them the job ad which is on their website and they still seem lost about it

Xarn posted:Why though? Like, I can see why someone would be mad at an interview, been there myself (no, I don't do webdev, why are you asking me webdev questions?), but I just shrugged and mentally noted that I don't want to work at the company, without sending dumb emails. something about nerds being spiteful insecure assholes

I'm guessing if your company is kinda big on C++ they probably already have their own bespoke artisanal library with a linked list implementation in there

you're selling yourself short imo with the "I can't code full-featured apps", if you think it matters (it doesn't really) you should sit down and write an app for yourself just to get a feel of how a big programming project would go.

Ator posted:Literally every boss I've worked for has given me near-perfect review scores and complimented my work quality and dedication. The only negative comment I've received was at the most recent job that didn't like how often I was away from my desk. this is a weird conclusion that I got in recent years: it seems like a lot of bosses don't even really care about you being productive. they just want to have you around to feel good about themselves. like look at this room! full of educated people working for me! so cool!

cis autodrag posted:I'm just gonna put out there that regular exercise can really help with depression and anxiety and after a month of forcing yourself to walk you might feel differently. It seems like you're letting a few mental health things dictate your life and you're never going to crawl out of the hole that way. pollyanna seems to have a recurrent theme of sabotaging herself, which can be hella frustrating for everyone trying to convince her stubborn mind. this time with the commute thing it sounded kinda classist so it did struck some nerves. but overall I think everyone is genuinely trying to help.

goondolences don't want to sound too pedantic, but I'm not saying to never hire juniors, just that maybe it's not a good idea to rely on hiring inexperienced people expecting they'll grow into the job they'll probably leave in 1/2 years and get a better job anyway

I unironically like the automated systems telling me I was filtered out of the process. last monday I received an email 4 in the morning telling me that I was out, it was pretty sweet. I don't like to spend hours on a coding test (which I thought I did alright-ish) and then get no responses from the company.

I did a test and it was just 2 questions on hackerrank but they were so weirdly written and ambiguous that I spent most of the hour trying to decipher the instructions. when I finally did it I couldn't finish them on time, it was too bad because the questions seemed pretty easy despite that.

Kudaros posted:I finished my first week at my new job. Compared to grad school I feel way more sure of myself, more competent, etc. I realize it's the first week but I feel like the popular saying of "they expect results in industry" is exactly backwards. I also had some pretty aggressive advisers though. I had the same experience when I gave up my math career basically reaganism is cancer, gently caress the ghostbusters
