oof. had a first interview for a senior position at SketchUp yesterday, things were going pretty well, then in literally the last 5 minutes had a technical question sprung on me, it wouldn't have been so bad except they wanted me to write actual code in a shared google doc. was the classic "find the longest consecutive string of 1s in an array of 1s and 0s" question, but with the abrupt context switch from personal questions, the awkwardness of coding in a word processor, and the time limit, i blanked and things didn't go well. i was able to fumble out a solution, but it wasn't great.

Ew, they couldn't even spring for a CoderPad?

i mean, the whole thing was over google meets, they could have given me the question, and i could have popped up the ide of my choice, and shared my screen. ¯\_(°_°)_/¯

edit: to clarify, i did ask if they wanted me to do that, they did not. they wanted it in the GDoc.

Leadership decided on a whim that my project and project team wasn't needed anymore, so now i'm on the hunt.

People keep telling me that i need to hire someone to "optimize" my resume to get past AI filters or some bullshit. Is there truth to that, I skimmed this thread but didn't see anything?
