Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
How do you validate the responses here?
I’m asking because job search is in my experience a cutthroat endeavour dominated by unscrupulous agencies and employers, mixed with incompetent human resource departments muddying the waters in relation to actual positions for the purpose of restricting wages and opportunities for potential employees.
This is basically a forum. So, people will comment on their experiences.
I can give you a response on both sides, me as a candidate and me as an interviewer.
How do you validate the responses here?
I’m not sure what you mean?
As a candidate, I have a couple of trusted recruiters I prefer to work through.
I found them through trial and error.
As an employer, every year I call and buy lunch for at least about a dozen potential future employees, to remind them that my team exists and that I think they could be a good fit.
That’s an interesting approach that I’ve not encountered.
If you do remote only and want to talk to someone with over 40 years ICT experience, hit me up. I’m in UTC+8.
Thank you. I don’t have any vacancies right now, but I’ll be happy to let you know if that changes.
Edit: Also, yes, my team is fully remote.
yeah. just had a respond to rtr and I can’t even get them on the phone. its like, hey, how about a little convo before we go all exclusive.
