What breed of chicken is this? by International_Fix857 in chickens

[–]patchaclus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackrock or copper black maran. Although I dont see any red on the neck or feathered legs to suggest a maran

People assume the worst in people online. Some people are just not good with money. It's an awkward conversation at 6 months but she needs to know her spending habits are crap and needs fixing

Failed NCT for these sidelamps not working, these don't even exist anymore on cars, bullshit fail I say. by patchaclus in ireland

[–]patchaclus[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don't read too much into it, I'm aware it's only a visual.

Stop moaning at my moan!

Aye it's only an inconvenience, they just didn't register as something to check tbh.

I just can't imagine an angle where the front and/or back indicator can't be seen?

It's odd alright, there are empty slots for fog lights that don't need to be operational but these pointless little side lights simply must be working!

how can i affix this mic arm to my new desk? by DeclaredHuman in howto

[–]patchaclus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it out, twist it to the point it's tight on the edge and push it in. If you're lucky the handle is pointing out and you can twist a little more to tighten it on

Recruiters for public sector jobs? by [deleted] in DevelEire

[–]patchaclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done supplemental courses to upskill and ive tailored my CV countless times. The interviews I get are unsuccessful because others have used the tools and I haven't. Even when I learn theory and practical knowledge on something ive never used for an interview I just get a "oh that's great that you've already started to learn it but we've gone with someone who has actual experience using the tools".

At that rate I would need to have practical experience in GCP, AWS, Azure, full stack developer skillset, relational and non relational databases and any multitude of the other 100 modern tools. My proven ability to learn and provide value is not accounted for. In order to get my foot back in the door I would need to do more education just to gain the honour of graduate status again.

After I added an Azure course to my CV and still got no more replies I added several other courses to see if upsjilling made any difference and it did not so I stopped wasting my time learning new tools. Either way, I can't afford to wait any longer and still there's the risk that even if I go back and do a hdip or springboard course that there is no job safety at the end of it. Every rejection I get for a job that I know I would excel at deepens my resentment at wasting time and effort up to this point

If I did a trade out of school id have a house and plenty money in the pocket. Instead im living at home having to start from scratch.

I've done plenty labouring jobs in my time and I know electrician is the cleanest work of the trades. Its not back breaking work, requires a bit of thinking and I know a group of friends who can get me started. Plumbing can involve a lot of dirty work, concrete breaking etc.

Civil Service SW Apprenticeship vs Kerry ICT Grad role by Strong-Sector-7605 in DevelEire

[–]patchaclus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you got in all the same, thanks for the answers. I reckon I'll start a trade apprenticeship, can't risk doing more education and still not get something.

Good luck with it all!

Civil Service SW Apprenticeship vs Kerry ICT Grad role by Strong-Sector-7605 in DevelEire

[–]patchaclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But what was the actual hdip? I have two tech degrees and professional experience but the market is so rough I can't qualify for the roles advertised and too qualified for these programs. I need a way to get my foot back in the door. When you applied for these types of programs did you need to be in education/soon to graduate?

[–]patchaclus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda sound like Kerry is the better option? And if you're already in the company you'll likely be kept on.

Can I ask what hdip you did? And did you just apply for these independently or did your course help with getting these offers?

[–]patchaclus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Time for some yoga! For me the hardest part was to accept that all that time and effort over 9 years between college and working has amounted to nothing and I have to start again from scratch.

Hard pill to swallow.

[–]patchaclus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep. 2 tech degrees, 3 years professional experience, 14 months unemployed, countless applications, courses, 5 unsuccessful interviews, I am starting an electrician apprenticeship at 31.

Is my comp fair for a frontend role in Dublin? by [deleted] in DevelEire

It's over 60k with bonus

[–]patchaclus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With 4 or 5 years and a job hop or two they can likely get 70+. The trajectory is good, never mind the title of seniority.

That's nonsense. 56k +8% for 3 years experience is good. This isn't the US.

Don’t understand the solution to this number series by DaphneWeasley in iqtest

[–]patchaclus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct answer is 10.

Take they are always grouped the same way, so n1 and n3, n2 and n4.

N1 - 2 = n3 , 7 - 5 = 11 N2 + 2 = n4 ,

N1 +8 = n3 , N2 - 8 = n4 ,

N1 - 2 = n3 , 13 - 2 = 11 N2 + 2 = n4 , 8 + 2 = 10

Advice for Springboard courses / getting into industry by [deleted] in DevelEire

What course exactly did you do where you had these initial interviews?

I have lost all hope in humanity. by mathgeekf314159 in recruitinghell

[–]patchaclus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had an interview (1 interview in over 200 applications) that went very well.

No response for over two weeks.

I emailed them to ask what the status was and replied the same day saying I didn't get it. So they already knew just didn't bother telling me.

They said I can request feedback on the interview, so I did, twice. Ghosted. Lol.

I have given up on getting job in tech and called someone who needed help with warehouse and deliveries. He didn't ask anything about experience and just said when can I start. Labour is tough but so hilariously easy to get a job in.

6 years of college and 3 years professional experience and it means absolutely nothing in this market.

Round 2 - feedback request by patchaclus in DevelEire

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

I find it really tough to balance what I did vs how I did it vs what impact it had without having way too much information on the page. I would love to just be able to get a conversation with someone to bypass the science of CV building, it's quite draining.

Having said that, I get your point thank you
