Wow, I don't know how to thank you enough for that word of encouragement. I am really grateful after a long week of interviews and a much-too-hot weekend here in the Bay Area.
But shhhh... We're not supposed to tell anyone that it's been 50+ years! Right? The advice I usually get is to remove everything from more than 5 years ago, maybe 10 at the very most, otherwise someone might think I'm old! ;-)
Yeah, I don't buy that either, that's why I thought I would have some fun with my LinkedIn and list everything in it.
(Well, I did quietly omit that one job where I got fired after six weeks, many years back. It will be my little secret for now.)
But seriously, thank you again! :-)
- ApolloRising 6y agoDid you have trouble getting past the HR filter? I recently started on a similar journey and am curious how you managed the non coding portion to get your feet somewhat in the door.
- Stratoscope 6y agoActually one of their internal recruiters contacted me out of the blue. So I don't have any advice on that aspect. Alas, after going through their interview process it turned out to be a "no", but no worries, it looks like I have at least one good offer, maybe 2-3 coming in this week.
