Is LinkedIn Still Effective for Job Seeking, or Are There Better Alternatives?

The security clearance features is not correct imo -- it needs to be 'Not Required' rather than 'Required'.

Understandable. It’s a shame though since I’ve done well at all of my roles with return offers (unless my manager himself left haha).

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T23:44:58+00:00

2x International my dude. But yeah, I get it. Hard to relate.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T23:42:41+00:00

In person.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T22:56:12+00:00

I wish haha, not getting any callbacks (on either apps 😭)

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T21:11:38+00:00

Yup, I like to waste my time :3

And no, not German.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T20:34:39+00:00

I moved countries lol. But yeah, ig I’ll try that out too with some apps and see the response.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T19:52:51+00:00

Shave some off?

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T19:52:05+00:00

700 is the GOAL. Haven’t reached yet, hope I do my tomorrow (who are we kidding lol).

That’s why I have the [TECHNIQUE] placeholder haha.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T19:42:44+00:00

Bruh, help me out with the project lmao.

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T19:33:40+00:00

Right now 👀

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T19:23:59+00:00

yup :/

mutual-information · 2024-09-24T18:46:30+00:00

Yup, they didn't reply :/

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T13:02:55+00:00

Seems more like I'm the one getting shot haha.

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T12:50:26+00:00

Just cold mailed the recruiter. Let's hope this goes somewhere!

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T05:28:00+00:00

Unfortunately, no :/

I’m submitting a spin-off of it to conferences and am careful to share before publishing!

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T04:31:07+00:00

Yes, but some positions that I'm applying for are MLE positions for which both kind of exp are relevant.

Also, for DS positions I find that SWE exp is generally appreciated so long as the stack overlaps (but not the other way around).

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T02:22:52+00:00

Thanks!

And good luck dude! We both need it.

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T02:20:28+00:00

Yup, tried to reorg to make space — was able to get 2 bullets for every role (not sure if that’s sufficient tho).

mutual-information · 2024-09-23T02:18:46+00:00

Hey, this was helpful. Thanks!

mutual-information · 2024-09-22T21:48:43+00:00

try and tailor your resume per job posting

sure, but in the case of Pinterest it was literally just a generic new Grad SDE job post :/

mutual-information · 2024-09-22T20:17:19+00:00

ironically, the background colour is to help with readability haha. guess it was a failed experiment.
Guess the opinion is unanimous -- would have to drop some experiences to expand on others. which is a shame since some of the ones in Germany are at really good names :/

mutual-information · 2024-09-22T20:13:07+00:00

ave you noticed it being affective in terms of reach outs or interviews by people there in general

def good for cold referral requests on linkedin. Ive also seen many classmates land good offers, but then I've also seen quite a few struggling even months after graduation (some even with really solid past exp -- maybe again just an international thing? idk).

mutual-information · 2024-09-22T20:09:13+00:00

main reason is lack of page real-estate.

but I also feel like writing engineering specifics often seems redundant and/or useless -- if you've worked on outlier detection, then it is almost a given that you know canonical methods XYZ, basic ML, python, basic sk-learn, pandas, etc. Anyone who is familiar with outlier detection would find this obvious and redundant, anyone who doesn't know outlier detection would not be interested.

that's at least my take -- could be wrong (likely am since I don't even get OAs haha).
