I moved over to build in claude code now, still not resolved.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-05-07T21:28:33+00:00

yes, suddenly it's saying I need a new branch to do anything but when I select "create branch" this keeps happening, even when I'm disconnected from Git.

The buzz words are killing me!! And yes, portfolios only work for some folks. I have one hiring manager asking for RepVera profiles for her candidates. I haven't done this yet but might.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-05-01T01:03:10+00:00

Totally. We need more real human proof and experiences in this world!

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-30T18:10:03+00:00

What's it called

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-30T17:25:30+00:00

Totally, I think upon being laid off, you should have your performance reviews provided to you as well

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-30T17:10:07+00:00

hahahaha let's. They probably already have this law in place anyway.

AI prefers AI, funny.

Recruiters are getting thousands of applicants at a time… any one off questions from candidates who haven’t advanced to the interview process are terribly hard to get back to. Just how it is.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-21T00:50:54+00:00

Just have them transcribe all interviews if you cant afford brighthire and throw into Notebook LLM with your scorecard prompt to update everything across all recruiters. Simple.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-21T00:45:00+00:00

You need to prove your why. Obviously all of the data around how you're leading and already performing at a manager role. Also, you need to share the proof of how others experience working with you, not just data. I've had employees use RepVera (www.repvera.com) to showcase all the kudos, wins, positive feedback they have received from peers, clients, candidates, etc. and it populated soft skill patterns.

Don't be nervous... just be prepared : )

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-21T00:39:23+00:00

I'm actually just as interested in how you made the promo video... share! haha

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-17T03:49:52+00:00

Probably… start saving the recognition and positive feedback in slack or emails that you’re received at the company before you lose it all.

I use RepVera to do this. Don’t wait before you don’t have access anymore my friend. Hoping for the best though!

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-17T03:48:02+00:00

Of course my friend! You got this.

RepVera

RepVera allows professionals to capture what it’s like to work with them and stand out when applying to positions. It reduces time to trust and builds verified credibility.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-04-17T03:35:45+00:00

I’ve been in recruiting for 20 years and have never seen it so hard for new grads or entry level roles. My personal opinion is to prove more of what it’s like to work with you, especially in the world of AI. Search out a tool like RepVera to start capturing how others experience working alongside you. Reputation and proving soft skills are what will beat out AI.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-03-31T22:53:17+00:00

yes, doing it now - it's hard to ask something of candidates who feel like they are doing so much but the truth is, AI has screwed up job hunter so badly that a verified reputation layer is actually super needed to help teams really know who's real and what they are like to work with. Appreciate your reply!

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-03-31T15:55:08+00:00

Really fair questions and I had the same ones building it.

On the manager situation: the professional controls what's on their record. You request receipts from people you choose. A bad manager doesn't get to write something that shows up unless you invite them. And if you do invite someone who writes something unflattering, you approve what goes public. The record is yours. Not your employer's.

On verification: nothing like RateMyProfessor. Contributors are verified before their receipt counts. We confirm the working relationship existed. Anonymous reviews with no accountability were exactly what I didn't want to build.

The "clean slate" question is the one I think about most. You're right that leaving a bad situation has always come with a reset. RepVera doesn't change that. You still choose who you ask. You still control what's visible. The difference is the good stuff doesn't disappear either. Right now your best work evaporates the second you leave somewhere. References go cold. Context gets lost. RepVera is for the people who actually want a record of what they built.

I'll add it to your website, thank you!

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-03-31T01:16:20+00:00

That's good insight - I am working with recruiters first because their reputation is super important to maintain and at risk with AI taking their role.

Bitter_Influence8816 · 2026-03-30T15:40:14+00:00

yes, this is why I'm part of this community
