bob dobbs is dead posted:xpost the doomsday economics thread in cspam This got brought up in the schad thread over in PYF, but this sort of stuff is par for course for universities. What happens is they're required, if they take any sort of public (tax) money, to post the opening publicly, even if they already have someone who will be filling it. If someone applies to it who meets all the qualifications, chances are they'll repeat the same process, make an "application", and fill it "internally". So tl;dr: they're internal postings that are required to be posted publicly in this case. e: a few years ago when the University of Wisconsin-Madison football coach left for another school, they posted the open coaching position publicly, even though, for all intents and purposes, it was going to be an internal search. Universities have weird requirements for this so don't read too much into that specific incident with Notre Dame. iospace fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jan 16, 2019 |

Most of the cold calling, headhunting emails I get don't even bother with the name. And then I tell them "no, I'm not interested in that area" and get 9001 more from that person for every single area that's not the area I stated I was interested in.

Ciaphas posted:i wish i got headhunters or even basic loving interest from anyone whatsoever besides the USAF contractors presently employing me I carpet bombed all the major job boards and set the "I'm open to recruiters" flag. If you even look like you'll be even the tiniest bit qualified they'll throw poo poo at you. I think a lot of it is people trying to meet numbers (I ran into one of these the other day), but who knows.

All my side projects are on my own (relatively large) free time. I just want someone to see I'm capable of coding without having to do a test.

manero posted:
So I threw my stuff into here, and I have one major complaint: The lack of locations they allow you to select is absolutely bullshit, and they don't allow you to put in a city that is not listed. My loose definition of a "major city" is a city that has a major 4 sports team in the US, exempting Green Bay. By this standard, they're missing: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Milwaukee*, Kansas City, Portland... I could go on. There's a lot of locations missing and it really hamstrings the site. *Milwaukee is a weird duck because of how close it is compared to Chicago. It's 90 miles, so if you select Chicago, you might get some Milwaukee jobs. However, not having any of the major Ohio cities, ESPECIALLY Columbus, is dumb if you ask me.

Ohio also has one of the most well known universities in the country in Ohio State. You'd think they'd include Columbus.

protip, don't work at amazon. I had a recruiter call me, I told him, "no Amazon" and then goes into why I should reconsider.

ADINSX posted:So I've heard all kinds of opinions about amazon ranging from "lol don't work there" to "its not bad depending on what team you're on". I'm in Seattle and I've decided I want a big name on my resume. I've been specializing in BIG DATA processing and technologies for the last couple of years and would like to continue with that, so working for AWS specifically is something I'm seriously considering.... (I've heard too many horror stories about Google, and I'd probably never make it past their interview process anyway... and Microsoft is... Microsoft... which leaves AWS, it doesn't hurt that they're headquartered here and are the biggest of the big three cloud companies) That what was the recruiter was saying. I'm also not interested in Seattle either

I can count on one finger the amount of times I had to write a sorting function in the workplace. Which is usually what they ask you to write. Though if you want to be an rear end you can always write the functional version!

DONT THREAD ON ME posted:god gently caress companies that make me register with them them to apply. I sort of like it when they do that, because usually it means if you get interrupted mid application, it's saved. Now job boards requiring you to register to view their postings can gently caress off entirely. Though a lot of them don't like my "32 characters of gently caress YOU" setting on KeePass, which makes me sad.

Mine's pretty much a template that I fill in fields. It's basically my resume in prose form with extraneous info stripped out. It's one of those things where I feel submitting one doesn't hurt, but not submitting one will hurt if you, as mentioned, get the wrong dude on the other side.

jit bull transpile posted:that's normal. my hiring process at Apple was nearly 10 months beginning to end, with multiple month+ gaps in communication. it was a big mental adjustment from back when I could wear a tie to an interview for line cook and walk out with a new job, but that's just the way this industry is. I'm moving to Portland, or wanting to. At least that gives me some hope!

MononcQc posted:remote work owns but is hard to do right is my position but I’ve already expanded a lot in this thread anyway I'm in the same boat with my preferred type of work. Embedded/Firmware devel requires a lot of hands on work, so remote is generally out of the question. It can be done, but it's a pain in the rear end.

florida lan posted:documenting evidence that an employee is not meeting some work standard provides a defense against claims that they were terminated for some other (illegal) reason in the event the employee decides to sue. And the courts tend to side with the employer in these cases.

Private Speech posted:There's gently caress-all the union can do in these cases, anyway. I'm not talking about the PIP. The unions would likely be cool with them because it's a documented failing and offers chances to improve. Unions require a procedure to fire someone that is more than "you're fired". A PIP that's implemented but failed to "succeed" would almost certainly slot into this. You can argue how much the cards would be stacked in the employer's favor though. I'm talking about overtime without pay, which is what started this whole tangent of PIP, namely a goon refusing to work more than 40 a week without extra compensation. e: A union, in this specific case, would work. If said goon was part of a union, refused to work the extra hours without compensation, the PIP in this case would never fly. Now mind you that this is this specific case, and won't apply to all PIP cases. iospace fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Feb 20, 2019 |
