I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

Let me tell you about monitoring and alerting, son...

Most IT job postings done by recruiters are hilariously bad, I scrolled through some and I'm just like "really? That's all you're telling me?"

Recruiting is the great leveller. Those who don’t have any skills can at least make it harder for companies to hire people who do have skills.

"expert knowledge in NT, FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Java, C#, Active Directory, Windows Server, Fortinet". Uh huh. Just be an expert at everything, I see.

Then you do the interview and they want like 2 of those things and less experience is fine. 🙄

A job I'm interviewing for now asked me if I had experience with libvirt, qemu,and KVM.

(For those not in the know, libvirt is a wrapper around qemu, KVM is the name of the technology, so if you have experience with one or both of the first two, you definitely have experience with the last one).

They want the unicorn, they will settle for a horse with a horn taped to its forehead.

"...will you accept a whale that thinks it's a unicorn?"

man would it be nice if I could just get to the fucking interview

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is my first interview after 3 months of applying (not every day, mind you, I've probably applied to like 300 jobs though). I have another one in the next few days as well, for another company.

LinkedIn Premium does actually seem to help, compared to sites like Dice. Good luck out there, it's pretty rough right now.

Seems like a linear algebra question. Are they trying to test you on the optimal region?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Or say "an average of" and give a range.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Or just give the range.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

This is just non-math language describing a standard deviation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You need an average of between 6 years.
