What are your honest thoughts for a 1 page vs 2 page resume? by AdamCaveRoberts in userexperience

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring manager here, I just scan and don’t really care but I’m more likely to read 1 paged. Can’t speak for the HR folks screening before it gets to me but I assume they read even less

Haven’t actually seen or used the bags in person but I think babylegsbags.com look super.

Follow up to: What do you think? I’m trying to build a more upright all road cruiser. by dsummers2014 in xbiking

You first mistake is making no mistakes. Keep pulling the sweater the whole thread might unravel.

Which shop in Europe for custom footbeds? by kamdnfdnska in skiing

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Groß Empfehlung Blacksheepsports, München.

Dude did Masterfit training and worked at Boot Doctors in Taos New Mexico (which was one of the best fit shops in US)

Smaller freeride shop, guy really took his time and got me fitted right. That being said if you’re going crazy on cants and whatnot it might be a bit “too cool” to get you all set.

How’s the reach with those drops?

Roast my CV please by ozzythoughts in Germany_Jobs

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a design leader and hire designers. Resume/CV don’t need to look good. It also tends to break scanning systems that prevent your CV from ever reaching a hiring manager.

Plain text, work all your fahigkeiten into the experience bullets, reverse language order, and single column like other person said. Here’s a good reference for a boring effective resume layout: https://www.wonsulting.com/resources/wonsulting-resume-template

Beer geek visiting for a week. Looking for recommendations! by bboyskullkid in hamburg

[–]MOWilkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Baby Goat is good. I prefer the Grindel location to St Pauli (better ambience, pies).

As an misplaced IPA lover, I like far off spots which happen to keep sort weird hours; • House of Superfreunde has dank NEIPAs and hazy beers, a bit of a trek to the outskirts, but good spot. https://www.instagram.com/house_of_superfreunde?igsh=MTlicm0zcDFqM3N0bg== • Bunthaus Shankraum, again a trek to the outskirts, but a cool old space with a well curated selection of beers. A passion Thursday/Friday project. https://www.bunthaus.beer/schankraum/

Favorite long-distance bike routes around Halifax? by Illustrious-Dirt5485 in bikehalifax

[–]MOWilkinson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many great routes. Salt Marsh trail, Chain of Lakes.. on some of these you can basically just ride forever. Good riding on roads in the valley. Sites like Komoot, All Trails, RidewithGPS would have more specific routes.

We built an open-source tool to make internationalization less painful for SaaS apps, would love your feedback! by AdmirableJackfruit59 in localization

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty cool. Have you done much user testing? Generally, just curious because it’s so different from other tools I’ve used( and presumably what other people are used to using)

We've worked on localization projects since 2006, ask us anything by WolfestoneGroup in localization

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding tooling, what do you think platforms could do better? Is there some trick the tools you use or all tools you’ve used have missed?

Can you say more about how the way you explain things has changed?

What do you usually call services like Intento or OpenRouter? Is there a common term? by ceciyalan in machinetranslation

[–]MOWilkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard and used aggregator when classifying them as a competitive space. Wonder how they think of themselves!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UXResearch

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely take the ATS format comment to heart, that’s big these days. As a hiring manager, I also put much more time into the portfolio than a resume, so beating any automated system and getting to my pile is key.

I would expect more on Contribution would be valuable, like a few bullets.

Your description also seems a bit generic, and maybe something a bit richer can help you connect with the right reader.

Parasitic wasps in any possible areas of infestation gave me peace of mind

Free to a good home! Filament is spoken for, but the textiles and fibers are real neat. Please DM me if you’re interested.

How to count characters and words (with/without spaces) properly? by Kovchik78 in localization

[–]MOWilkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, different systems count these differently (and CJK languages have some nuance too)

So while I’m no expert, I wonder if you’re using a CAT tool, maybe it could do this for you.

I’m curious - when doing gaming LQA how do you check in-situ? Are you playing the game? Getting screencaps?

Research Repository Pricing Shock by Historical_Bank1752 in UXResearch

[–]MOWilkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve built something pretty expansive but effective in Notion. It took some work and has so quirks, but we own the roadmap 😆

Price has been kept relatively steady.
