Bit of feedback on your job application process – I don't see any good location to send this on your website so I'll leave it here.
It would IMHO be helpful if there's a "anything else you want to mention?" field at the end of the form, or something to that effect. I appreciate keeping the initial application simple and straight-forward and doesn't require having to write an essay about the meaning of life, but for some answers I could only fill in a number and sometimes a simple number doesn't really tell the whole story.
For example: I have "10 years" Python experience, but the last time I programmed Python was a number of years ago so I'm a bit rusty; I would prefer to be up-front about that. I also have 0 years Django experience, but I've picked up Ruby on Rails quickly in the past and I've managed to fix a few minor bugs in Django applications over the years, so I wanted to add that context too to demonstrate that picking up Django shouldn't be a huge issue.
Since TypeForm only shows one field at a time you don't know what's coming next or when it will end it's not really clear you can't provide that context anywhere. I was a but surprised I was done already and felt I submitted a less great application than I could have – otherwise I probably would have crammed it in one of the text answers in an earlier step.
Just a bit of feedback, do with it what you will.
- antoviaque 4y agoGood point - currently people generally put these remarks in the "why applying?", but it makes sense to have a catch-all at the end, I've just added it to the form. Thanks! And no problem for your remark about your Python experience - that usually comes back fast.
