#hire — Public Fediverse posts

I hate to say I’m desperate, but I haven’t had work in *months*. If anyone’s looking for a #freelance senior #wordpress #developer, please keep me in mind. I do full, custom theme builds, specialize in #accessibility and #semantic code, and am a great communicator about time estimates and budgets! My full portfolio is www.amberweinberg.com

If you don’t have any work, I would appreciate a boost 😊

Dear other country up north

That's bonkers.

Also ridiculously beautiful.

Please tell the five inanimate barely visible flecks of colour at the end of the road, and to the left of the human onlookers, to:

― go home before it gets dark

― have a nice cup of hot chocolate

― get their mummies and daddies to hire a video from their local prawn supplier (screenshot attached, maybe you can find a franchise in Glasgow).

Yours sincerely

So if there is a corporation that wants to #hire a product person with (what might seem) future prediction capabilities. But is actually just a real user moaning about real world pain, then please ping me.

I will happily tell you what I think about your org grand plans.

People who follow me may know that I've been without work for some time. I don't talk about it much. I was laid off from a public #benefit corporation undergoing some restructuring just as companies started firing engineers due to the "AI" hype.

I'm basically semi-retired at this point, mostly involuntarily, but I would love to find #work that I could feel good about to occupy some of my time.

I'm a #software engineer with two-plus decades of experience in a large number of areas. I've worked as an independent consultant in many industries, worked for a consulting company in many others, and held staff positions with tech companies of different sizes in various fields. Most recently I've tended to be designing and implementing APIs for internal and external use. I've been using Python professionally for 25 years, and personally for longer. The list of OSes, languages, and technologies I've worked with is long.

If you need some software-engineer-y things done but you're now saying "We can't possibly afford to #hire someone like that", keep reading.

Meta Spends $14B to Hire a Single Guy

On #hiring and #interviewing...

Many ask for it, but no #employer has a legitimate need to know your #salary history. Feel free to decline to provide that; it's none of their business.

Employers say "Oh, but we need to know it. If we offer too little, they might decline our offer!". It's B.S.

If they want to know whether you'll decline an offer, they can make an #offer. You'll either accept it, decline it, or offer to negotiate it. That's how negotiation works, and an offer of employment is absolutely a #negotiation.

The real reason they want this information is because they desperately want to avoid accidentally offering you more than the #minimum amount you will accept. If the position is worth $X to the company, they don't want to offer you $X. They want to offer you $Y, the lowest possible number that keeps you interested in the position. If they don't know what you made in your last job, figuring that number out is much, much harder. Stick to your guns. Your value to the company shouldn't be "approximately what my last position was worth to my previous company".

Push back. If someone from #HR tells you "Oh, but salary history is part of our standard process", politely decline. If they want to #hire you, they'll skip that step. And if they won't modify their #process for your circumstances, maybe you don't want to work for that company, because they won't be willing to vary any of their other standard processes even if your needs require it.

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH), a massive biomedical-research funder that also employs thousands of scientists at its own laboratories,
🔥is “totally broken and non-functional right now”,
according to a principal investigator at the NIH who asked for anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press.
“We can’t #hire people. We can’t #recruit people. We can’t #talk to people on the outside. We cannot #travel,” they say.

Other government scientists, say that they can’t afford #publication #fees or the #supplies they need to process lab samples.
At the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
— which monitors Earth’s oceans and atmosphere and provides weather forecasting services
— some scientists cannot do fieldwork because many of the contractors they have historically worked with have been #furloughed.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Government Efficiency, effectively run by billionaire Elon Musk, has been sowing #fear among federal workers with its visits to various agencies, threatening possible workforce cuts and more.

Mum and Dad used to #hire #punts on the #Thames at #Henley and #Wey at #Guildford and #Godalming and take we three children on picnics during the 1950s, so we were used to day trips on small open #boats, but the #Llangollen trip was the first time we'd been near a #canal or stayed overnight on a #boat
