Modi is a legend, will be remembered for centuries to come
It feels like riding different waves and interests that don’t align very well. I started out in graphic design, then went to academic research and publishing, then moved to data engineering and manufacturing, then landed in the energy industry. Now I’m looking for a job again and the roles I’m getting reached out to are … just all over the place. Mobile dev roles are what I’m most in demand for it seems. it very much feels like I’m “following the money” right now The duality of these positions landing in my inbox back to back makes me so confused with what my profile even is supposed to be to recruiters right now. A remote Jr iOS tester for a SAP implementation or a $80/hr electrical engineer position in Redmond to work on VR applications. wtf It’s so hard for me to update my resume for all these roles.
Don’t you need to pass some sort of license test + have an abet certified degree to be an electrical engineer in the U.S.?
Ya. I’m confused with that. My dad is an electrical engineer and would most definitely not consider my ass qualified to have that title
This is the top half of the description: Title: Electrical Engineer IV Location: WA; Redmond Duration: 12 months PR Range: $75 - $80 /hr. Employee benefits include, but are not limited to, health insurance (medical, dental, vision), 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave (depending on work location). Job Description: Job Description: EE Generalist CW We are looking for a skilled and motivated Electrical Engineer to join our team, who will design, build, and test prototype electrical systems for future consumer VR and AR experiences. We are looking for a candidate with a broad set of experiences, including digital design, analog/mixed signal design, power systems, wearables, or low power design.
Recruiters first approach you because some word on your CV matches some keyword on their job description. If you don't want to be considered for a certain industry, remove those keywords.
Recruiters have a tool called "LinkedIn Recruiter" that is kind of like Google for candidates. These reachouts just mean that your profile comes up for a lot of different search queries. Recruiters don't look at each LinkedIn page individually and say "hmm would this guy be a better iOS tester, or electrical engineer?" It really just means you have good SEO, or something.
Or bad SEO. Way too generic of a resume to get such a variety of options most of which are plain noise.
Know the difference between a head hunter/job agency and a company HR recruiter. IMO, head hunters don’t care if you’re a match for the role. They just broadcast positions and get kick backs if you’re able to get hired (it’s a numbers game in terms of candidates interested in applying).
The corporations wanted to be able to lay people off and pay new employees more than tenured ones, so they incentivized incoherent careers and a mercenary approach. It's just the natural result of the way this field works nowadays, not that deep
Never do work that you don’t see aligning with your career.
I have thought about how I very much feel like a hired-gun/mercenary lately in this job market when my skills are in demand
