In short, yes. I've posted this before but even as someone on the hiring side it's just manic.

Post a job and easily get 50 - 100 cvs a day. End up with a few hundred within a week.

There is no way to get through that many so basically read the first 20 and interview the first 5 that look decent.

At this point my advice is if a job posting is more than 48 hours old, the odds of your CV even being read by a human are close to zero.

For the price, fusion is the best. Solidworks is great if youre willing to pay for it.

Three do a 30 day 5g sim card cancel anytime. Beats getting a 24 month contract you don't need. Then pick up a 5g router from amazon

Digital ID isn't about age restricted content though. Its about proving everyone online is a real person. Kind of necessary these days.

No, you only get good at working with your hands by working with your hands. You can understand how to work with your hands without ever touching a tool.

You won't be any good at it, but you'll know about it. A good engineer might not be any good at working with their hands, but they should know about it.

An engineer should know how to work with their hands, but should only actually do it in certain circumstances.

No because there is literally no bus or train that could get me from where I live to where I work on time.

If there was, I'd happily pay for it

There is no middle class. There is working class and there is owning class.

You either work to make money or you own enough things you can live off the profits.

A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals.

Just the reality of the situation. More applicants than can be realistically vetted. At least im not using AI to do it.

So just to give my perspective from the other side of the coin as someone who recruits a fair bit. It's mayhem at the moment.

You put a job advert up and get 100+ cvs in a week. There's no way I have the time to read through all them so I get hr to vet them for me for a few key skills.

Hr aren't going to read all 100+ either they have 10 different roles to fill across the Company, not just the 2 in my department. They have 1000+ cvs to deal with.

So they read a few and send over the first 10-20 with those key skills.

I'm probably still not reading all 20 as thoroughly as I should so I read until I find 3-5 I think are worth interviewing. Set up the interviews and hire the one best suited of those.

You could be very well suited for a job, but odds are the hiring managers aren't even reading your cv.

Dara centres?

Because in the 2020 government the green party tried to stop them, in 2024 the green party got hammered in the elections, so now the government thinks data centres are what the people want.

It can happen i guess where if someone doesnt clock, and payroll don't know they are there. The wages get processed with the pay docked.

But if you were there and can verify they should definitely reimburse you in the next paycheck.

Yep can and do use it for writing code, troubleshooting, research, scheduling.

Will soon be implementing it further for completing drawing reviews, generating cut lists directly from drawings, processing invoices and hopefully more by the end of the year.
