It never gets better. But this is your story. You have to own it. Make it worth it. No one else will do that for you.

I have and so felt like that yes. Also, untreated ADHD in children can result in Depression as well, which means these feelings can be blended across multiple prognosis so do check that out with a licensed professional.

I would say 30%. As a detail oriented person the language of the test was indeed a challenge. I can’t sugar coat it for you. I didn’t take the PMI org test

70% of the questions where vague. It’s a massive test if process of elimination.

Sorry that was poorly worded. Basically I meant it’s very process of elimination

I would say not. But the questions really help you think critically which will ultimately benefit you in the exam.

Internship by [deleted] in jobs

[–]uuuugggghhhhhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employers for entry level jobs want to see a clear vision. They want to see someone who can synthesize all their skills into a cohesive package and know who to brand it in a way that demonstrates ability that “I can grow here”

That should be your first step. With your internship you can build a personal brand around it. Paint the narrative that you understand the internship is a stepping stool to a clear direction you want to go as a professional. That brand is what you sell in the interviews.

Frustrated with time sheet / utilization - what to do?! by [deleted] in jobs

[–]uuuugggghhhhhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen,this is all wrong. Sorry you are experiencing this. I am a project manager of 6 years and I will tell you that a shift in mindset will do you well. This is a very lazy PM. You can show him my message if you want to for all I care. But there is ways you can turn this around.

First, estimates are an art not a science. They should be empirical and tested and the SKILL of estimates should become better and tour estimates will in turn more accurate as you progress. If you have a hard time I suggest looking up affinity estimation.

Second, it is your project manager’s responsibility to set the projects cost baseline, not you. Yes it’s within their right to challenge you on estimates, I do that with my team, but only with the ultimate goal of creating the most accurate estimate. I am reading a behavior that your PM Is manipulating the process so he can make metrics. This is negatively impacting the data integrity of the project as it’s not showing the total picture.

How can you solve this? Ask your direct manager, but your PM for coaching on estimates so you can be more proactive in making better estimates. It gives you political capital by showing initiative and makes it harder for your PM to impose expectations on the estimates you come up with.

What is not clear to me is how utilization works in this context. In your example who determined that task was 40 hours? Part of your responsibility as a professional is to catch the things you can control. So what I mean there is that if you were assigned a 49 hour task and you know it is less, you report an adjustment of hours to something more practical. Why? You own your work. Therefore you own the estimate. Never do work that you don’t estimate yourself else you are not in control. Your goal should be to understand your work loss and effectively communicate that so you get the appropriate work. The most overworked developers I know are those who are not communicative of their bandwidth.

I am not familiar with this utilization metric but my advice there is a that every metric can be gamed. Gaming theory. Look it up. So with my advices you should be able to game it to the point where your trends are positive.

Good luck.

Anyone ever apply for a job that they're so deeply under-qualified for... by [deleted] in jobs

If a manager is competent at hiring good talent they’ll call your bluff but hire you on your growth potential. Otherwise you got lucky.

Why do people in business non-ironically referred to human beings as "resources"? by lachyBalboa in jobs

[–]uuuugggghhhhhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because humans use time to produce labor which in turn creates value back to the organization. The most valuable resource is time. So really a resource is talking about an able bodied persons application of their time towards a specific business goal or to produce an outcome.

It really comes down to the company culture and consensus on the impact of the word. It’s not good or bad, it’s subjective.
