Originally posted by Flatulant_bomb We hire "tradesman" which might be different than corporate type jobs.
There are definitely some jobs that are a lot more conducive to that kind of internship idea.
Some jobs, though, like grade-school teacher, just wouldn't work too well in that kind of model.
Can you really prove your abilities as a teacher in a matter of a few days? -

Originally posted by Ajax That’s literally why there is an industry of people who are a go-between who translate business needs for users who don’t understand code into use cases for coders who don’t understand business needs and vice versa.
Business analyst? I think that's what they're still called.
With things like User Stories and Experience Mapping, business analysts are becoming less and less needed.
There are frameworks like Gherkin that are basically user stories + unit tests that are actually functioning code. Or, at the very least, they make the translation between business use case and unit testable code a LOT smoother. -

Originally posted by Lanny I used to like the idea of an on-the-job interview, still do like it in theory, but then I got burned on stupid "take home assignment" things in interview processes which boil down to an employer asking for several hours of your time as a screening process. That shit is a scam and I won't be doing another one. I imagine "come work for me for a day" would be an even more exploitable model.
Yeah, that's exactly it. In theory it's a cool idea, but soooo easily exploitable.
Admittedly, I kinda did that to get the job I have today. I did a bunch of work on a 'proof of concept' type thing for them for very little pay, but it did ultimately result in a job.
While part of it was hard work and raw talent, there was definitely an element of luck. When the startup went public, a lot of people ended up disappearing. I could have easily been one of them.
One cool thing about software development, though, is that, at the end of the day, you still have something to show for all your hard work. The whole time I was doing this internship-type thing, I was building a portfolio and thinking about how I could use what I'm creating right now to leverage myself at any other company. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL They were taken down because they thought just because they owned a bit of Net real estate that they therefore owned the community they felt like abusing their authority on. They thought wrong. And they're still thinking wrong, because they never learn, until it's game over.
So what's the moral of the story? Never run a web forum?
These people are doing us a service.
While it is pretty shitty when they pull the plug on that service, I'm pretty sure there's no financial compensation for their efforts.
I'm still mad at "Jeff Hunter" and Zok for shutting down communities that mattered to a lot of people, but I'm also thankful for what they what provided while they did. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Every Totse clone was also systematically eliminated. Not a one stands today. And you all think that was just a coincidence?
So why were they all taken down?
First "Jeff Hunter" threw in the towel, then Zok.
Why?
You seem to have some kind of insight into this that none of the rest of us have. -

Originally posted by Flatulant_bomb Our sister department does it all the time. We are a small company so maybe we don't fall under some regulations.
Like I said, I love the whole idea.
I remember seeing a TED talk many years ago where someone suggested doing it, and I thought it was brilliant.
But unfortunately, being a voluntary intern just isn't as simple as it sounds in theory.
And it sucks, because showing a potential employer your skills before they have to invest even a single cent seems pretty reasonable all around. -

Originally posted by Flatulant_bomb What kind of job are you begging for? Maybe ask for an on-the-job interview. Work for a day and see what they think.
In theory, I love this idea. But in reality, I've never seen anyone actually pull it off.
The whole idea is pretty cool, you literally show them why you're worth hiring.
But there are all kinda of legal loops to jump through and paperwork and bureaucratic bullshit that very few employers will actually go for this kind of offer, sadly. -

2018-12-05 at 3 AM UTC in Ban triple GLanny seems objective as fuck.
He won't ban people based on personal agendas or haphazard whims.
He'll threaten the fuck out of you (that one thread about SpectraL being an example), but he won't ban you without reasonable cause.
That's one of the things that make him so awesome, and keeps the Totse spirit alive in NIS. -

Originally posted by Ajax Look up the STAR method for behavioral interviewing. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Thinking like that will help you out.
I'm pretty surprised to see the STAR technique mentioned.
It really is a good framework for answering interview questions.
Anyone who skipped that post but still saw mine: Learn about the STAR framework.
It is universally applicable in any kind of job interview. -
2018-12-05 at 2:28 AM UTC in Review: Review: Synthetic Methods for AmphetamineMan, imagine publishing a PhD thesis in amphetamine synthesis, or at the very least, getting paid to study chemical mechanisms to synthesize amphetamines?
I'm jealous, to say the least. -

2018-12-05 at 2:21 AM UTC in Is HTS still a dudeOhhh... so THIS is the thread that incited the other one demanding you be banned?
Dude, STOP INSTIGATING!
There's no reason to ban GGG, but my man, you gotta play nice.
I'm not a very political person. In fact, I often joke that I'm a radical centrist.
But come on, if HTS is trans and identifies as a woman, who cares?
GGG, you're just instigating.
And everyone else (like Ghost, for example), since when is mere instigating a bannable offense?
I mean, this is a website where a literal word frequency experiment was conducted (by me), and found that one of the most popular posters has both "nigger" and "niggers" in his top ten most said words.
So basically, everyone, just calm the fuck down.
Now shake hands and make up. -

Originally posted by GGG You either fight and die for my side or stand in the rattoxverse a traitor.
I'm gonna play the Switzerland card and just kinda back away slowly.
Actually, not without putting in my vote first though that GGG not be banned.
Other than that, though, I may just have to remain on the sidelines. -

Originally posted by Rizzo in a box wow its really hard to actually find the protocols just doing a simple search…pages and pages of butthurts jedis and shitlibs yelling about it, none of the actual source material.
can any fellow white people post a link to the protocols? thanx in advance, hail hortler.
See, the one thing that makes these Zionist conspiracy theories start to creep into the realm of possibility for me is the very fact that they try so hard to censor any discussion about it.
It's pretty much the Barbara Streissand effect.
Who happens to be jedi.
