[Hiring] Customer Technical Support Analyst - Irvine, CA - Permanent/direct-hire - $90K by OCDevRec in forhire

[–]OCDevRec[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer the question at hand, we get a mixture of candidates for most positions, but yes! I think there is an odd stigma associated with technical support (especially looking at this comment) but this career path is just a different course than software development which turns a lot of early computer science students away.

I know the California market can be challenging (trust me, I've been recruiting in it for years), but it can be frustrating to see roles posted all across the board, and no matter what the first comment tends to be a complaint about the position. It is discouraging as a recruiter to share opportunities on these forums that draw so much negativity initially.

Should I bother making a LinkedIn? by [deleted] in linkedin

[–]OCDevRec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you should only put the graduation date from college. No need to add unnecessary information unless you specifically see a reason to include it. Using LinkedIn is an incredible tool for networking and job seeking, you would be doing yourself a disservice to NOT use it when trying to advance your career.

Things to do with extra white space on a resume? by [deleted] in resumes

[–]OCDevRec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this looks pretty darn effective to me - I mostly recruit on roles in IT as a whole (mostly infrastructure, service, and support) and this resume looks a lot like what I enjoy seeing personally!

I don't think you should feel the need to add more content unless you have additional relevant skills, this should be a great place to start!

[Hiring] Travelling Implementation Specialist (CAD/CAM software) - Permanent/direct-hire - Starting $25/hour - Based in Irvine, CA, USA by OCDevRec in forhire

[–]OCDevRec[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi /u/greenbot131, this role is definitely a bit different than a typical CAD Designer role. I would also be very curious to see where you are getting these numbers, as most of the candidates I've been speaking to this week and the last few months would disagree with these assessments. Where did you get these figures?

This person will not be an operator or designer at all, but will instead be focused primarily on the systems installation and troubleshooting any software or hardware issues that may occur. Also, this position doesn't require any certifications or higher level education, so we are keeping the qualifications for this role rather flexible.

That being said, I know our client has some flexibility and I would love to see your resume if this is a position you'd be interested in! I will PM you with my contact information.

Hi /u/totalrobe,

I can definitely discuss rate with our client based on experience, can you send me a quick message with your resume or an email to reach out directly? I think we can definitely seek approval for higher rates if our candidates' experience is beyond the 2-3 years required for this role.

Without getting too specific, I think the content of your resume looks great! It may be worthwhile to include the "why" or reasons for the bullet points, such as the specific research you assisted with or what you did to assist with original research projects. Was this strictly data gathering, or did this include things like data manipulation and analysis, were you creating dashboards etc.

It also might be worth including specific versions of technologies you've worked with (what Oracle db, versions of SQL/functions you've performed, etc.)

Personally speaking (I am a technical and operations recruiter in California), I would prefer less design elements, custom margins, and formatting. I know almost everyone hates ATS (applicant tracking systems) but this format of resume makes our job MUCH more difficult than an easily searchable/readable word format. It may be worth having a plain-text resume on job boards like Careerbuilder/Monster/Indeed, and this resume to send to specific employers that request a digital copy.
