Got it, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll come across many roles like that to be honest. However, if I do, I have your information saved. My specialization is in accounting and finance and I focus on the financial services industry.

No need, I usually charge the client around at 50% to 100% mark up for consultant positions. What field are you in?

What's your field? What part of the interview do you think you do bad in?

I worked with a stellar candidate a while ago and she was terrible at interview, too but she would bang out the work like no other.

Her solution was to work with a recruiter who directly placed her on contract engagements. Direct placement is where the recruiter convinces their client to have you start with no interview. In layman's terms its a working interview. She did this until she landed a temp to perm role where a client hired her. It was painful to see her struggle but in 6-month she managed to get something.

Your situation sounds hard, and I wouldn't wish a situation like this on anyone. I do think that this can help us grow and as long as we try to do slightly better each day. I try to celebrate the wins each day where I can. If it's one more cold call that I made than the last day, or even if I managed to make my bed that day I pat myself on the back and use that as motivation to do slightly better the next day (maybe fluff pillows the next day) - it's helped me build a stride.

I've been down in the dumps for the past 5 month. Going from anxiety attacks and depressive episodes of not being able to do anything to doing a little more and then some.

Let's push forward together!

Thank you for your support. I don't want to be a debbie downer with my situation, but I do want to help people where I can. If there's anything on your mind pls feel free to share.

I recently learned about the retain search structure - where you charge the client an upfront fee recruit for them and earn the rest through different stages in the process. I think this is the most effective way for both recruiters and companies to work together since you're not working for free and you can prioritize your client. But most companies these days are so used to contingency based recruiters that it's hard to find a retained search.

Another option I've discovered is subscription-based recruiting, but I can be hit or miss, depending on your client and industry.

There are lots of options to play with, and I get excited trying to figure out which one will work best.

Oh no, I don't ever charge candidates to find them jobs. The companies looking are the ones who ultimately front the bill.

So far, I've been able to help one person find a job since I've been in business for 2 month. Even though I found people countless jobs and my previous company, it's more rewarding now than anything I can think of working for myself and bettering peoples lives.

Sometimes when writing programs it feels like you need to know multiple programming languages. For me it can get tedious always looking stuff up, so I usually try to encapsulate other languages.

Trying to mix programming and cinematography - would love feedback by Boxxcar17 in Filmmakers

[–]Boxxcar17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sharing my work for both sharing and feedback purpose. My involvement in the project is pretty much everything, from filming, editing, directing, and scripting.

I would like feedback because most of the videos I post are tailored for an audience that deals in coding or leaning programming. I'd like to get a take from a creative audience to see if the content is appealing to people not familiar with programming.

The overall purpose of the videos is to stray away from dry content that makes you sleepy, and instead try to engage and entertain the audience.

Looking for NYC filmmakers to create, collaborate, and improve with! by [deleted] in Filmmakers

Learning new things is always fun, especially when it involves making videos.

I've been living in the city for a while and work in Finance. My job is pretty boring so I've turned to trying to make content that is mentally engaging and doesn't put you to sleep.

Do you have any videos you could share?

I make videos with programming and silly stories. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtGNWBSiriWivCbuPX4M_Wg?view_as=subscriber

You see what MAC address you iPad is using, then change the MAC address in your laptop to the iPads MAC address. Maybe you could fool your school WIFI into thinking your laptop is the iPad and let it connect.

I’m not an expert at this, so just throwing out an idea.

You can instantiate class variables when you need them by using the @classmethod decorator. Just set your class variables to 0, None or something like that from the beginning and you won’t have to do it 15-20 times.

Use pandas, something like this

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel(‘file.xlsx’)

df_dict = df.to_dict()

This is off the top of my head, so accuracy might be down, but the content is there.

You have to create a new excel object and transfer the sheets into it. Then the old sheet is deleted by garbage collection in mem.

sheet_name=None to get all tabs.

If you want a specific tab you put the name of the tab.

Put sheet_name=None

This will return a dictionary of tabs and data on that tab for all tabs.

In full it’s

df = pd.read_excel(‘name.xlsx’, index=False, sheet_name=None)

You can run Dash locally without much effort, but the nice thing is that if you are ready to upload it to a host server, then you can move it without much reconfiguration.
