sounds like a naive candidate to me. surprising (but not shocking) for someone with so much experience.
if he’s 50 yo, assuming same career since graduation, his first mistake is applying for senior roles. senior is 5-7 years experience. he should be applying for staff roles at minimum and up to principal.
i guess you’re not supposed to slam posts here but this article is more of the same old same ole.
i would like to see an article from the hiring manager POV.
- nathanaldensr 9y agoIn my experience, getting hired for those "post-senior" roles is even more ridiculous than for senior roles. You often run into biased, judgmental, and insecure directors and vice presidents who seem to be terrified that you know more than them. I say this as a 37-year-old with nearly 20 years of experience. Sometimes, people don't want to believe that you know what you're doing.
- jiveturkey 9y agoyes, it is very, very challenging. please keep in mind it’s not that you have to have technical chops, which you certainly won’t even be entertained if you don’t, you also have to be a very good culture fit.
