@@d.n5287 It’s not the same thing. With time came changes in language. Meek wasn’t originally synonymous with weak. It used to means being strong, but humble. Basically, if being strong was having a sword and being weak was having no sword, then being meek meant having a sword but keeping it sheated unless necessary. The knights of the round table in medieval literature were described as meek, but they weren’t weak. They were exceptional warriors. The greek word from wich meek was translated was also used to describe war horse. Would you call a war horse ‘weak’?

Sad but true. Actually easier to get a gf than a job.

Another similarity between jobs and gfs: You can only get one after you have an established history of them, without any big gap in between. Being 'fired' is way worse than doing the dumping. Can't appear too desperate for one. And the mere act of getting one increases your desirability by several whole factors; you basically can't shake them off.

In 30 years as a contractor, I’ve had dozens of interviews like this. Even ones that have said “we don’t know what we actually want but…”

[@Matando]

You forgot the part where you send in your application, resume, and cover letter and never hear back. Also the part when they actually decide to start doing interviews for the position...... if ever.

Zach, I wanted to write out to you saying how thankful I am for the years that I have watched your content. From your comedy sketches to your in depth explanations of mathematical concepts and just watching your passion for math has been such a joy to me. I am a recent Mechanical Engineer graduate in GA and through the years, watching your content has inspired me during undergrad and gave me some direction in where I want to take my career as an engineer. Even now when I am struggling to find a job to start my career within my home state, watching videos like this really reminds me that even though the job search is difficult in our times, I can still laugh about my situation and not take it so seriously all the time. I hope you have been well and healthy throughout COVID and I love your content as a fanboy. Continue to make great videos and being an inspiration for many engineers like myself!

I got that grade your Python skills on a scale of 1-10 when I had it on my resume. Decided I had to say higher than 5 to justify it on my resume so I said I am a 6 or higher for two specific packages. Then got grilled on things I didn't know and said I would like to revise my score. Job interviews be wild, good luck out there yall!

[@ThePandafriend]

You should try to ask for an example of a 10. If they don't want to provide one ask what scale they're using.

[@JoeCMath]

@@ThePandafriend Absolutely! All of my experience was centered around something the interviewer never did so it is hard to compare competencies when we had no overlap! If you can find ways to approach the conversation from the same frame of reference (make sure you are on same scale as you suggest), the interview will generally end up better. It is so hard to know what someone you never met before understands and values when it comes to these things so just try your best!

[@ThePandafriend]

​@@JoeCMath Yeah, in general the whole system is problematic and tons of luck is required. I'm still studying (bioinformatics), but soon I should get into networking (ugh). I'm an introvert and hate that stuff. Can't I just sit in front of my screen, do my stuff and communicate over chat and occasional voicechats and screen sharing? Tutoring works very well when it's done that way. At least for programming.

[@JoeCMath]

@@ThePandafriend I don't know much about bioinformatics, I am heavily in Math Optimization, have you ever thought about putting videos on KZbin for your field since you already tutor? Could be a nice hobby and something you can toss around in future interviews! Good luck finishing your studies!

[@ThePandafriend]

@@JoeCMath I'm more the type of tutor who focuses on individuals. Tutoring is not teaching, even though that's something I also did on some occasions. My style is also highly individualistic, because I rarely answer questions. Instead of this I _ask_ questions. The students are coming with their solutions first, I ask them what problem they have. Then I'm looking at their solutions, look for their mistakes and lead them to the correct solution by asking questions. I try to give them as less help as possible and the illusion that they came up with it by themselves. I tried different things and this way is by far the best when it comes to them keeping their knowledge. There are some stupid students where even this isn't sufficient though. Those are rather rare though. Also students who were good at school, because they did everything without questioning it and just learned it sometimes do have problems with that. But those are rarely stupid, they just need to learn to come up with their own stuff. It's far more work than normal teaching, because I have to know multiple solutions, after all everyone codes differently and sometimes need to develop new solutions on the fly when someone tried it in a way which I didn't see yet. And I'm only tutoring the programming classes. When it comes to making videos I don't think that I'm the right type for that. Plus there are already tons of resources which show the stuff very well. At least when it comes to most of it.

Actually this hits really hard because I had a company come back to offer me a job like four years after I interviewed. They said I was hired like the week after the interview, then said they had to "put an offer together", ghosted me for years, then the same guy called me and was like "good news, I just got the go ahead to create the opening we had you interview for. Pays 60% what you make now. What do you mean no?"

"Whoa someone's a Debbie downer ! How about your pros ?" - Seeing as I'm gonna be grossly underpaid.
