There’s been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there’s a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).

At least they were used incorrectly to be just as unpredictable.

Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

For example I’ve seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I’ve also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I’ve lived in that were far more than art.

Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.

Raking of leaves isn’t really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

This could be a non-profit funded by participants and government grants.

Seattle? Sounds like Seattle.

The big problem with modernization of gig work by these companies is that they’re screwing of the gig workers by inserting themselves in the middle and fucking over everybody else involved.

For example: Town car services existed for years before Uber came to the scene. Before Uber you’d have to call a town car service that may be a single person operation, or a small group of people getting together and hiring a calling service.

The idea of the modern, centralized, gig services is not a terrible idea in itself. But running that as a capitalist business is terrible. This is one of those things that should be required to be a government service or a non-profit.

I live in the USA. I use the process I’ve described on my resume. I’ve also just landed a new job and started within the last month. When sending out resumes on my latest job search I had a 90% response rate, all for jobs I’d actually like to work at. The job I accepted was after the recruiter that reviewed my resume reached out to me to tell me the role I applied for had been filled but that they had another role that I’d be a fit for in the process of being written and wanted to get the ball rolling so I could be at the front of the interview process for it.

I’d say it’s “standard” because people were poorly trained on what to put on their resumes starting in high school and even college. I even used the “standard” before and struggled to land interviews early in my career. It wasn’t until about 15 years ago that I did a deep dive into resume writing and job searching techniques that I completely overhauled my resume and started actually getting call-backs/emails and interviews that would eventually wind up in landing jobs that I actually wanted.

Just because something is “standard” doesn’t mean it’s what we should be doing, or is the right way. The job market has changed over the years and ATSs reviewing resumes meant that people had to figure out how to get past those systems 20 years ago. As LLMs have been added to ATSs it’s only gotten harder to get past the initial gate with a resume drop.

A Kagi search for “resume accomplishments vs duties” will give you a plethora of sources discussing this from job seekers, HR professionals, recruiters, and even some university research.

Listing your successes, metrics, and accomplishments will drive home your actual work duties and capabilities.

If you’re listing the following, you’ve failed in writing a solid entry to tell me that you’re a bugfix and data import wizard:

• Utilized Jira to fix bugs.
• Used company import tools to move data between systems.

Instead, you could write entries like:

• Took ownership and closed x bug tickets over y months which was z% over the organizational goal.
• Created and documented a Workflow to speed up the process of importing data by x%, making me the go to person for company data imports.

I’m not saying to lie or embellish either. I’m saying that you need to think about how you market your skills for sale as a service. If I’m looking for somebody with those skills, the latter two bullet points are going to stand out a far lot better than the former.

Don’t forget, outright removing a UI for modifying settings forcing users to use registry mods, potentially a PS command, or a third party tool to force the behavior you lost from a simple setting removal.

You don’t need to lie on your resume for it to stand out and be impressive.

First, stop listing “duties” and generalized things for the role. As somebody that’s done a few hundred interviews, I quickly bin those resumes. I have a good understanding of what a related role’s duties are that would make you qualified for a role I’m interviewing for.

Your goal in a resume is to show the hiring team of what you can provide to the team/company if you are brought on board.

What you should do is keep track of you work successes and KPIs and periodically update your resume with those successes and metrics for that role. Got a top performer review status, log it. Increased sales for the department by some % for the year, log it. Delivered a highly complex & valuable project, log it.

If you do the above, I can have a good understanding of what you’re actually capable of and how you utilize the skills you have within a role.

I recently wrapped up two lengthy interview processes (2 months for each).

Both companies were aware I was in multiple interview loops

One company was super transparent about the process, where I currently was in the process, all sorts of updates and notifications of delays etc. This loop took a long time since it was for a senior level position on a foundational team & product for the company.

The other company was playing it fast & loose. Lack of updates of where I am in the loop. Outside of the first meet & greet where I used a tool to find time on the interviewers schedule, I was chasing people to find out when the next interview step would be. After what I thought was the last “vibe check” interview with their CFO, I was told I’d hear from their HR shortly. It took 10 days and two check-in emails before I finally heard from HR and scheduled a meeting, which turned out to be more interviewing. I’ve yet to hear back from them, and I fully expect that they want me to chase them.

Needless to say, when the first company presented me with an offer that had everything in it I was asking for with a nice little cherry on top, I accepted the offer with very few questions or hesitation.

Treat me and my time with respect just as I will treat you and your time with respect. I have skills you need to deliver products & services and you have means of generating income from the combination of my skills and my peers to grant me an income. If you don’t treat me & my time with respect, I’ll go elsewhere, or even decide to become a competitor.

Just your garden variety bigots and assholes then?

Also, I think you should read up on what facisim is and why it’s being so widely used right now as highly oppressive rhetoric is being pushed from many far-right leaders throughout the world.

We’re beyond dozens?!?!

What I find hilarious is all these companies doing this shit after all the advancements in programming languages and paradigms in the last few years.

Thanks to tools like Node.js, React, Flask, Reflex, OpenAPI Gen, GoLang, and more, people that are fed-up and have the know-how can stand up competing technology in record time.

I look forward to see what comes out of this corporate power grab. Hopefully there’s not a lot of pain and suffering alkng the way.

Somebody was so triggered by the graphic being off center they just had to break that window.
