There’s something to be said for being at the right place at the right time. I worked at Intel and left for a few months. When i returned to another division, I learned that about 2 dozen people I worked with there all turned in their resignations one Monday morning shortly after I’d left, inclu

Both inflation and deflation are like positive feedback loops or resonance. A central bank can beat inflation into the ground with interest rates (even one like this, which is caused by demand pull, supply shortages, and rising profits) at the cost of a nasty recession (pretty much what the Fed di

you should look up the difference between a recession and a depression. Odds are we will have a middling recession, but the real problem is and will be inflation. Inflation is a ratchet, it only goes in one direction and hits everyone and everything*. It's like a network that has more and more nois

We used a similar process to weed out Support candidates. its amazing how many could not even with an Open internet test. Mainly I didn't care if they got it 100% I wanted to see the process they went through. did they google an error. did they look for similar issues etc. On Thu, Dec 1, 2022 at

Sorry, but this would prevent most people who work for big corporations from ever getting hired. It might work for smaller companies trying to sift through a bunch of applicants and they need a way to get a little more insight into their abilities. I’ve always been amazed at the off-hours inte

Hi Stephen, That is what I had strongly suspected -- especially if you don't have much experience or you didn't just graduate from a top program. I think I'm getting to the point where I can do more than just little training and test exercises, so it's time to devote some effort to some demonstra

I will be brutally honest. When I review what someone has done the resume is less impressive than the work done when it comes to software. Anything you can opensource and share with the public do so. make a website that is based on the same domain as the same email you submit resume's on. link any
