I know it's a checklist, and *would* be nice, but you can't reasonably expect someone shooting for Junior role to have.
I think a tad over is fine, but it should be somewhere in the same galaxy.
pretty much.
Not: 10 years experience, Masters, and every certification known to man.
Pay? $5/hr.
the worst are where hr uses a site that screens applications out that dont have those exact requirements
must have 40 years experience in java
or w/e the networking equiv is
must have 10 years experience in a system that is 4 years old
you aren't a real dev until you make your own time machine 😉
lol i wouldnt put it past someone to make that an interview question
>must have 10 years experience in a system that is 4 years old
I came across an application similar to this.
lol really?
The technology or vendor was only about 2 years old.
They asked for about 5 IIRC.
LOOL
It's like, uh... Alright?
I guess I'll go fuck myself then.
Time to devise that time machine Big!
most of those types of questions are to take a look at your thought process when problem solving
maybe something to do with acceleration and gravity
Makes sense. Explains some of those Google interview questions.
yup. how many quarters would you need to stack to reach the empire state building, or how many golf balls will fit in a school bus
you dont even have to get the right answer
Man, get this. My very first IT interview, and it was for an obscure position. The application was absolutely garbage. I pulled teeth, but found out they wanted a jack of all trades who could do Help Desk, Networking, and System Admin shit with Active Directory and Microsoft. The starting pay was $13/hr and when I asked what their max limit was it was $17/hr and for the COL of the area that's still garbage.
I didn't get the position, but it's probably because my expression came across as: "you have to be fucking with me right now."
I probably came off as snarky, lmao.
LOL rightly so
I'm like, bruh, for $13/hr you can go hire the McDonalds worker around the street.
sounds like a company trying to minimize their IT cost
Agreed. If it was an intern position then by all means.
like hiring an intern for intern wage and have him do 4 ppls job
If anything it's experience, but for an actual job?
You get what you pay for.
Man... Don't get me started.
I did that too.
or even worse, and illegal, hiring an unpaid intern for 4 ppls jobs
6-months internship for the State free.
LMAO.
