We have hereby posted our newest DBAs at Midnight: Resumes (in three parts)
In Part 1 of DBAs@Midnight: Resumes:
-
We show you MVP award. The joke Sean makes (and glosses over) about "in pieces on the floor" was a reference to me breaking Sean's MVP trophy this year. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! There's a little glass clip thing with the year printed on it, and as I was moving the award off my desk, the clip flew off and chipped badly. The powers that be at the MVP program were kind enough to send a replacement, and I don't touch the award any more. :)
-
-
We talk about promoting MidnightDBA, our "vision" for the site, and why Sean started MidnightDBA. "What element of SQL can kill you? Film at 11!"
-
-
We talk blogging and putting YOU in your material. Sounds like a self-help seminar...
In Part 2 of DBAs@Midnight: Resumes:
-
"It doesn't make you stupid to make the technology accessible to people...."
-
We arrive at our main topic: Resumes! How long should your resume be, should you get it done by a service, etc etc.
-
Thought: "Could you imagine what it would look like if it were customary to have a dating resume?" It would be a lie fest...
-
We (Sean and I) do a coulpe of things with our resumes that aren't necessarily standard, and ignore some standard advice.
-
Here we say bull**** a lot. Oops. And we begin to talk interviewing...
In Part 3 of DBAs@Midnight: Resumes:
-
Effective interview tactics from the interviewer's perspective. "So if you're an EXPERT, then tell me......"
-
-
Sean talks about how hard he is on interviewees, and I reply, "Fair's fair: If you hire the guy, he's gonna have to work with you..."
Plus somewhere in there we do the drawing for the Lifecam, and also announce a surprise.
Happy days,
-Jen McCown
