There should be a Tinder / Grinder app for CV's... but instead of looks its blind resumes... then you as an employer have to ask a puzzle or specific question (you only get like 3) the answer then gets handed in but you the employer need to match it to one of the pool of CV's you've "kept"...if

Re: [OT] Looking for work

I agree with you. There are all sorts of biases that come into play at interviews that often have very little to do with getting the right person to match the job and whether they can even do the job. There are interviewers that want someone "like them" that might, perhaps, expect your braindump

Re: [OT] Looking for work

I'm still stumbling my way through a psychology degree (hah weak attempt at an appeal to authority lol) but I'm more and more convinced that "technical interviews" are a form of projection less about means testing a persons' potential / abilities. Some folks just have extremely poor working memory

Re: [OT] Looking for work

That's what recruitment agencies typically ask for on a CV. I know how hard it can be when recruiters look for an "angular expert" but the only angular experience you have is some online videos. Hard to compete. Many devs lie on the CV actually to get the job, sometimes it works. On Tuesday, 7

Re: [OT] Looking for work

Be careful what knowledge you claim to have too. I regularly do technical interviews on behalf of clients (3 so far this week already - must be the season for it). If a person claims experience or knowledge in an area, I tend to drill into it with increasing depth to judge that myself anyway.

Re: [OT] Looking for work

I would find it a dubious stat, and certainly wouldn't rely on it. It only indicates your perception of where you are and may have no basis in reality. Best leave it out and wait for those employers that think it means something to request it from you. Better employers will be able to gauge

Re: [OT] Looking for work

What do the seniors here look for on a CV? I've been told by a few people I should be giving myself a score out of 10 for competency in a particular language/technology but I find it quite hard to do that and have it actually mean anything. Thanks Tom On 7 June 2016 at 10:22, Greg Keogh

Re: [OT] Looking for work

In the past you could ride the winning horse, which was Microsoft, and you would almost always be in a job. I did this myself for 20 years. But in about the last 5 years the market diversified away from Microsoft. Amazon invented the cloud, smart phones became prolific and client side JavaScript

I had a tough time down there too. Everywhere seemed to want an AngularJS "expert" when I was looking. Are you getting interviews or not even reaching that stage? On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 10:09 AM, Tom P wrote: > Hi folks, > > I've really had a tough time finding work in
