Hey,
I have 10 years of experience writing bots/getting information from the internet and I'm interested in this role. Care to discuss this 1on1?
I'm not going to submit a resume somewhere that will never be looked at.
people who "talk to themselves" are labelled idiots. mental dialogue is supposed to be mental.
call it social conditioning if you will. spelling out your thoughts for someone else to hear them just so they can take note of them for evaluation is the polar opposite of normal human interaction.
Let's just say that it's at best a corner case in the the toolbox of approaches our brain has for tackling problems. Yes, it's something we make use of once in a while. But more like a "caught you in the hall, here's my idea" approach. Never in a "solve this now in 5 minutes or yer OUT!" sense.
The problem with the modern interview process is that not only elevates the later approach way out of proportion to its actual significance -- but basically makes in the centerpiece of your interactions with the company and potential team members, on that fateful day.
maybe instead of doing this hoopadoop all the time, its time to accept that fulltime employment is a concept that made sense when most workers were doing assembly line things.
hire specialized contractors to do the things you need done.
ive never been asked stupid fizzbuzz but have so far not been able to sufficiently fail at a job. weird.
Thank you for asking. We Googled "layoffs vs firing", and got the following from Susan P. Joyce on Job-Hunt.org:
"Being laid off is NOT the same as being fired because it is not considered to be the fault of the employee. It is, actually, the fault of the employer. A layoff is often called a "reduction in force" or "down-sizing." ... This is often the reason that more highly-paid employees seem to be on the layoff candidate list."
All the while, the tech scene and general economy have been growing. Layoffs in tech are a byproduct of the accelerated lifecycle of VC-fueled startups, leaving unsuspecting employees to unexpectedly look for a new job without having one, wasting valuable time and earning potential.
Existing job-search processes usually take months from kickoff to signing, as it takes time to both find the right fit and move through a company's various interview steps. Our platform will address the first problem by broadly circulating candidates to hiring startups that want to know about newly-available talent, and we address the second problem by incentivizing employers to compete on speed of interview process. If they don't, they'll simply lose these local, experienced candidates to some other firm.
Layoff-Aid only accepts candidates affected by layoffs from SF tech startups.
Would love to learn from data if you have any to back that up. From what we've seen, top reasons that determine who gets laid off include those who:
1) get paid well (the layoff is a desperate cost-cutting measure)
2) are randomly selected (the company is acknowledging that layoffs are not performance-related)
3) either got hired most recently or have most tenure (an attempt to reward longtime employees or respect those who just joined)
There's also the "entire department" (often post-acquisition) rationale. In any case, your perception is pretty common, and that creates a hiring opportunity for savvy recruiters who know better and don't pre-judge.
The recruiters I work with know that I don't entertain non-remote work at any salary.
Do the same. Join the revolution. Succeed.
