That's a plan for fail. Recruiter activity ramps up hard in mid-December to get people interviewing/hired by Jan 1st and steadily builds through March. After March things fall off rapidly for the rest of the year until next December rolls around.

Your search and interviewing process will take longer than planned as well. Unless you're in some super hot specialty, expect the hunt to take 3-6 months.

can confirm. got laid off in october. didn't even get phone screens until december. actually started getting serious interviews in febuary as hiring managers stopped being on vacation all the goddamn time. finally got hired in march.

what's a good interview question to get a manager to accidentally admit if they micromanage everything?

well this morning the ceo announced that we are having a merger. what is a good template for cover letters/resumes? i completely suck at writing them

yesterday i applied for a job and a recruiter emailed me within 5 minutes to set up a call for today, but never called me

if i provide a cover letter it is usually a paragraph highlighting experience that doesn't really fit in my resume that is relevant to the posting

why werent they willing to work there? why did the company decide to waste time looking for a perfect fit instead of developing a greener engineer?

as a junior dev working with a few other junior devs i quickly found out that just indenting my code properly so it was readable easily put me in the top 10% of our work group

my last boss was soo good. for every feature request ever his first response was flat no. if a second request comes in for that feature he asked for a detailed spec before giving an estimate.

ok so whoever said recruters can't tell time is correct. the one what ghosted me two weeks ago asked if i still wanted to talk

i set up another call and they failed to call me again yesterday

there's something to be said for just laying everything on the table. yeah it'll take longer to find someone but they're less likely to run away screaming two weeks in.

yeah it not really helpful to your company to con someone into taking the job.

What is a single page application? What are some advantages and disadvantages of implementation?

me posted:

A single page application basically a JavaScript application that is delivered via a web page.
The main advantage is that access to your application is as easy as opening a web page so users don't have to install anything or worry about updates.
The main disadvantage is JavaScript.

I think they’re trying to figure that out too :v:

judging by the follow-up questions i am guessing this is the case

"if you were to make a new single page app what frameworks would you recommend?"

"when debugging a single page app what tools do you usually use?"

react with redux for state management if necessary. debugging using chrome dev tools + react/redux extensions.

this smells like a full stack or front-end position. are you sure you want that?

yeah, that's what i answered

probably not what i want, but i am rusty at interviewing and for enough money i could give a poo poo

i am trying a different approach this time. i am starting by shotgunning my resume out to jobs that seem merely ok. then once i have refined my resume and interviewing skills again i will start specifically targeting jobs i really want. (i am very bad at resume writing and interviewing)

i like my c# place s lot :shobon:

HoboMan

any time i needed a library in c# i just picked the clearly more popular one and it worked just fine

can't say the same for java

HoboMan
Nov 4, 2010

also in c# i have only ever needed a library like twice

can't say the same for java either where to make an API call and parse the result it takes 3 libraries. c# requires 0

HoboMan

thinking java means working with less morons is the funniest thing ive ever heard

how acceptable of an answer is "I'm looking for a new job because my current job is in a backwater shithole and I want to move to civilization"

how do you politely cut off the person doing the phone screen and tell them you are not interested anymore because their business sounds like a clownshow?

i am again reminded that i share a name with some variety of enterprise software as some bottom of the barrel recruiter asks me if i have experience with [my name]
