Don't even get to the interview stage. My tech skills never got assessed.
- MattGaiser 5y agoDamn. I have no great experience and can get interviews in a day or two. And everyone I talk to complains about no experienced tech people.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoHow do you get interviews in a day or two with no great experience??? These days, I just feel lucky to get an email rejection back at all
- MattGaiser 5y agoI mean I don’t have brand companies. I worked for the government and a quasi tech startup. Not sure how I can get calls so quickly, but they aren’t FAANG level interviews either. Small startups and desperate corporates mostly.
- webmaven 5y agoThat's because what they really want is a 20-something that has 10 years (or more) of experience.
- bradknowles 5y agoI’ve had recruiters basically ask me for exactly that. I had twenty years of experience at the time, and they wanted someone who was exactly like me with all my skill and knowledge, but ten years younger. I never responded to them, but they have been the butt of many jokes since.
- Mattiusly 5y agoSame with me. I'm to the point that I'm going to create an alternate resume that only lists experience of less than 8 years, instead of 30+, and use a very old photo of myself on socials.
- webmaven 5y agoSame here. I've sometimes wondered if getting a newly minted college degree would work to bypass the age filter.
