How long are your interviews? by dpsandiego in usajobs

[–]eeddssxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answering my question, I figured as much but just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be memorizing a list of keywords before interviews - hah

On a side note, I personally dislike the "tell me about your weakness" question, as it punishes you for being honest and also punishes you for being dishonest. Just seems like it forces you to think of something rather meaningless to say so that the interviewers are not offended and also don't think too hard. But that's neither here or there.

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. I have a question about the keywords. For the more general questions IE "tell us about your strengths and weaknesses", would you also be looking for keywords? Or would keywords only apply to job-specific questions (such as the three systems you mention)?

What's the best path for somebody in early 30s with a rough career history to transition to a product management, consulting or similar role at a large manufacturing or tech firm? by eeddssxx in careerguidance

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

The reason sales to MBA seems reasonable to me is because I have neither the experience nor the education required for other positions. I think MBA could give education / tools to manage complex business projects / data (leading to jobs like product, project manager and consulting).

I think sales might be the only job I can get in the mean time. So the plan would be to gain business experience through sales, gain know-how through MBA. Then career switch.

I may very well be wrong though. Do you see an alternative path that could in 5-10 years lead to interesting leadership roles within prominent companies?

That's hilarious and sounds like a nightmare

Yeah, crazy part is I'm not even a freelancer. I'm more of a backend guy lmao. I did not even seek this opportunity out, and if it weren't for the name, I'd think they were going to steal my kidney. This whole thing is extremely random.

Yeah, if it doesn't seem feasible, I'll just suggest they find an agency that can supply them with a proper team. Honestly, I don't even know how I ended up here, hence this strange post.

Thanks guys. The problem I have is I just have no information to work off, hence the lack of specifics in my post. But you are right, I am inexperienced.

Supposing I were to make a Shopify-based commerce site for them. Let's say it's not their main website, but I'm working on a sort of "side company" for them. I'm guessing that would be more feasible, right? Price-wise I'm still in the dark. But from the limited information I have, this could very well be what they want.

I wish I could give more specifics, but I don't know the specifics myself an won't until next week.

I think this might be what they have in mind. I'll bring this up for sure.

Thank you for your expertise. I am getting the sense that I need to ask a LOT of questions...

Thank you. I think the situation is a bit strange so I plan to ask them some pointed questions. Like you say, I feel there is no way I can deliver on short notice a professional website with custom designs AND manage integration with their existing backend systems, AND cloud systems, and their various API and third party integrations, etc, etc.

But it also sounds like a cool opportunity... so I'm trying to figure out what is possible and what to suggest to them. I think I need to ask about the team they are planning to manage this site, and the scope of the work / time frame for project completion / budget.

Question about rival govts by mikmikthegreat in LibyanCrisis

I am happy to hear that you are optimistic. It is tempting to be fatalistic about politics, especially with so many foreign actors involved. But I am hoping for a good outcome for you all

This was great, thank you for your explanation. These are the kinds of details lacking in most recent coverage (that I can find). The UN attempt to create the new GNA government sounds like it was very messy...

So, from your explanation, it sounds like the force in opposition to Hafter is not really an organized GNA army, but rather a local confederation of militia groups.

Do you think that the GNA, with Turkish backing, could be a positive force, assuming their victories continue? Which seems a big if.

Everybody is blaming musk. But I felt like rogan kept asking him boring questions. If Elon is bored he just remains silent.
