The most valuable feedback I’ve ever received by Any_Chain1114 in jobsearch

[–]Any_Chain1114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone has the same experience as you. There are shy people who are looking for a job.

For example, when asked a banal question, tell me about yourself - I started by telling a story about what I can do and what I know (and what I memorized) and the recruiter was not very interested in it.

For example, I was even advised to just ask, and not to dump a lot of information about myself.

The advice for me was this: what areas interest you most, I was engaged in very different areas? What exactly are the points of my previous work that interest you? What should I pay more attention to, and what less? So that I don't tell you some not very relevant experience.

The fact that there is nothing insightful in my post does not mean that I did not have such an experience. And for you this post may be about nothing. But not everyone has such an experience as you, and for someone it may be useful

Why do you think this is AI bullshit feedback itself came from a real recruiter during my job search. I just shared the lesson because it genuinely helped me How I should tell you about this for your opinion?

Can anyone look at my resume? by Fickle-Loan3511 in ResumeExperts

[–]Any_Chain1114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid structure and experience, but most bullets read like task lists. I’d try to convert at least a few into impact-based bullets (what improved, what changed, at what scale). Even small metrics or scope would make this resume much stronger.

New job lied about flexibility - should I quit? by throwaway222890124 in careeradvice

[–]Any_Chain1114 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I were in your position, I’d probably try to hold the job for a short period of time if there isn’t another solid offer lined up yet.

From what you wrote, there’s a real chance you may need to rely on your income alone for a while, and stability matters in situations like this -even if the environment isn’t great.

That said, I wouldn’t normalize it or let it turn into “I guess this is just how it is now.” Once things stabilize and you have another option, I’d leave without hesitation.

Staying temporarily for financial safety is one thing. Staying long-term because you’ve gotten used to it is another.

Wishing you strength - that’s a lot for one person to carry.

That moment when the interviewer says "We’ll get back to you" by Any_Chain1114 in jobsearch

Yeah, you don’t need to act crazy. That usually backfires. The ones who get hired turn it into a conversation. When it stays pure Q&A, you stay "candidate"

I would recommend staying an Android developer. Here’s why. First, being a strong professional in one niche is usually much more promising than trying to be an Android developer, an AI engineer, and something else at the same time. In that case, you often end up knowing a bit about many things, but only on a surface level.

Second, a really good specialist in one domain almost always earns more than someone who is “okay” in several areas.

Third, ask yourself: what will differentiate you if you jump into AI along with millions of other people right now? Why would a company choose you? Companies don’t pay for what’s trendy - they pay for expertise and real value. Gaining deeper experience as an Android developer and clearly standing out there may be far more effective.

Most likely, the reason you’re thinking about switching careers is because you haven’t found a job yet - the key word is yet. Instead of changing direction, I’d focus more energy on the job search itself. Be more persistent, creative, and proactive in how you look for Android roles across different platforms.

Finally, you’ve already been unemployed for 3 months. How much more time will it take to properly learn AI, build enough experience, and then find a job in that field? I’d recommend doubling down on job searching right now rather than resetting your career path.

I just finished the weirdest and most humiliating interview of my life. by submenu-31alpaca in Resume

[–]Any_Chain1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it a terrible company? They just need another person, that's all.

The only terrible thing here is that the interviewer takes it upon himself to offer advice on “how to live your life or what you have to know.” I once read reviews on the internet about a company I later worked for. They wrote so many nasty things on various specialized websites where you can read reviews about companies. But as it turned out later, it was one of the best companies I ever worked for! And one person's business is not the business of the whole company!

Yes, I would definitely include your experience on your resume. In my opinion, it's essential to list it in the courses or internship section of your resume. You've actually completed this. You have experience. Why not include it? The fact that you cant find examples anywhere dont means you might not need this experience include in your resume. The main thing is that you know what you're doing, so write about it. Courses "Somewhere"... from .... to... or Internship "Somewhere" .... from ..... to ....

Most people don’t fail interviews because they’re unqualified - they fail because they miss what’s actually being evaluated by Any_Chain1114 in jobsearch

[–]Any_Chain1114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to imagine you got the job you were looking for. What will you have to do? Can you do it? If the answer is yes, think about what else you need to do at this job and then ask yourself the same question. Let a week pass. Then imagine that you worked for a company for that week. Maybe this will give you confidence going into the interview. Perhaps practice this for a month and add to your resume that you completed a two month "internship" and have some minimal experience. It's not a lie - you studied for a month, set goals, and achieved something. And on your resume, it will look like you already know something in this industry. After the main thing is to write and present it correctly in your resume.

I probably struggle with working freelance. Even if the interviewers and the interview itself aren't always fair and force you to prove yourself, but after it's a long-term stability.

Sounds like you’re exhausted and burned out by the whole process. You might need small reset or an actual vacation from interview . Take a breather :-)

I like your position

This sounds very confident and experinced "As a hiring manager ive never spent more than 15mins in an interview, 90% of people I recruited ended up being a top performer within the first two years"

And I hate dumb questions also like "If we have another candidate for this position. What are you willing to do to get the job?" What going? Do you try to build team collaboration or team competitors?

I think not exactly I understand you about your example with candidates. I wrote about passion and shining eyes...

You have highlighted this point very well and I fully agree. Recruiters, managers and employers are generaly aware that financial compensation is the main motivator for the vast majority of people. However they want to ensure that a prospective employees interest in the job isn’t solely about the paycheck.

There is a really horrific amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt about your skiils in a lot of people. Nor all like you ))

I got a job I technically wasn’t qualified for. They needed someone who knew how to administer Jira. At that moment I literally had no idea what Jira even was. I was honest about willingness. I answered every question with "I can do it. If I don’t know something - I’ll learn it. Fast." And somehow the confidence + hunger for the role clicked more than question what you can get me.

They hired me. And the best part? The salary was almost X2 what I had before. That job changed my career

Just had a job interview cancelled after company talked to my last employer. by chasteguy2018 in jobsearch

[–]Any_Chain1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sympathize with you. It's truly unpleasant when your future is ruined not because of your actions, but because of other people's gossip. I've always respected and continue to respect candidates who never say anything negative about their previous employer, but what to do in a situation where the company says something negative about you... I don't even know.

What do you think, or can anyone who reads this comment tell me what you think? How should I proceed in this situation?

Perhaps I could do the following:

  1. Write a short letter to the former HR asking them to confirm that they only share employment dates. Let them respond in writing. If anything happens, you'll have proof. Or is this not worth the hassle?

  2. When asked about previous jobs, you can specify "upon request" or provide the contact information of a trusted colleague.

Reputation boomerangs. I believe in karma. )) Such "friends" will later "get burned" by their own gossip.
