How was the process?
Also, is it okay to post my portfolio in here? (UX Designer, just want some feedback from people who will keep it real with me)
Go ahead and post your portfolio, if it doesn't expose personal info.
The interview process was pretty easy.
A recruiter with one of those agencies emailed me about the job. It wasn't the full description, just a couple of bullet points. 5 minutes after I get email, she calls asking if I'm interested. I wasn't too sure about it, but she offered to send the full listing for it.
She had me send her my resume. But to keep it to 1-page, I have a few of my previous jobs listed without my responsibilities under them. She wants me to add them back in and doesn't care how long my resume is. I do it and send it to her. She redoes it in Word. And recruiter girl also has me send her a few bullet points highlighting why I'd be good for the job she sent me.
First interview: Zoom call with the head of operations (I think) and the chief of staff. The operations guy had some technical questions, but it was more like, "What tool would you use to do such and such?" instead of how to troubleshoot style questions. After the call, I really wanted the job.
Throughout the whole process, this recruiter is emailing and texting me status updates. Like one time, she texted me after 10 pm.
Written assignment: The instructions said that the company’s mission is almost impossible, why do I want to join and attempt to disrupt the industry
The 2nd question asked what super powers would be good to have to in the role. But they meant what skills, not super powers.
My written answers seemed kind of sappy, so I was concerned if I was going to get a second interview.
Second interview: Zoom call with the head of product and the MSP contractor. None of the questions they asked were very technical. It was more of a conversation than an interview.
The recruiter kept me in the loop with updates. A few days later told me I got the job. Wrote her a recommendation on LinkedIn.
I messed up because they're giving me more money than I asked for. I had given the recruiter a salary number. I think it's because she caught me off guard with the random phone call.
?
i said fukk it and quick deployed a node app to heroku instead
but 99% of people are in the tech industry. I usually go if i don't have any plans at all and want to have a quick drink and get out the house most people are between 21-35
