How do you avoid being seen as an eternal beginner by hiring managers?
- davidrupp 5y agoYou'd have to ask them. I don't do anything deliberate myself to avoid that perception. Fortunately, 30+ years gives you time to go broad and deep, if you care to.
- capableweb 5y agoWhy would they been seen as a "eternal beginner" by anyone? Learning a language for 1-2 years and then working with it, while having general programming language for 10-20 years would come anywhere near "beginner" for me and many I know. Once you've picked up one and mastered one object-oriented language, most of them mostly look the same, and same goes for the other paradigms. A lot of knowledge transfer between languages, so if they see you as a beginner after 20+ years of experience, their loss.
- dragonwriter 5y agoThe managers that see you as an beginner because you have only a few years of experience in a particular tool despite vast experience on building systems with a wide variety of tools are...perhaps not the best to work for, anyway.
