For boys growing up in the 60's and 70's, a lot of time and effort was spent trying to get hold of a Playboy or even just a few pages. Imagine a whole neighborhood of boys playing "ditch 'em" (a wide-ranging and violent version of hide 'n' go seek) wherein the "seekers" would while away the countdown time by gathering at one player's house to peruse his dad's magazine collection--and manage to put it back EXACTLY as it was found lest the treasure trove be locked away. Imagine a middle school music class where an ancient radiator vent in the back of the room was known as a reliable drop point for a stash of pictures, necessarily folded and ripped from being alternately jammed into and removed from the hiding place. Oh well, what we were looking for (and so much more) is blase now. Times do change.

You don't necessarily need to completely customize everything... In many cases, however it's more important to have good structure and information.

Start off with a basic introduction paragraph or two of what type(s) of positions you are looking for. Followed by a brief summary of the keywords related to the technologies you've used, or are experienced with. Follow this by either eductaion or work history next, whichever is more recent/relevant (if you're still in school, or haven't had a job out of school, education first)... Point out each role, accomplishment and related technology used.

In work history, give a brief paragraph for any major roles/projects again, with any related technologies used. Also include aliases and related technologies.

By doing this, you give up front what you're looking for... what you can use, and then back it up again. Have others who are great with your language proof read and give feedback on verbiage.

Half the battle is getting through the H.R. and recruiter types that hold the gates to the decision makers. The other half is following through with actual relatable experience that you understand, know or can easily learn what you need for the job in question.

Be honest to a fault in terms of what you know, what you don't and what you feel you can learn quickly.

That's my advice to anyone looking for a job in a technical field... You don't necessarily need to customize, but at least have a great resume, that will go a long way getting your foot in the door.
It took me ~20 minutes overall for the download and install. All I had to do was press "start" really, and let it do it's thing.

I only had to re-install BitDefender, everything else worked right away.

I'm only just annoyed that the Charms menu is gone. I had used Windows 8 since the developer preview so I was used to that in my workflow. Not a huge issue though.

To add to this:

Applicant's who do spend time authoring a well formatted application are seemingly under served by the website-submission process that completely garbles and incorrectly re-formats their applicant documents. Very frustrating and demotivating for the next submitted app. Moreover, they may not even discover that the website ruins their document.

I think there's a disruption opportunity here to provide a HR Applicant Service that doesn't force consumes to blindly copy-paste blobs of text into large free text fields. Just consume and index PDF documents.
SPAAH!
Most of the comments here focus on how people aren't trying hard enough to get jobs. This article indicates that the jobs don't exist and that the problem is likely to get far worse. You can try as hard as you want to get a job - if no one is hiring, you aren't going to get one.

The reality is that as time goes on, the world's needs can and will be met by fewer and fewer people. This should be a good thing, but it won't work under most existing economic systems. Our entire economy has to change to accomodate the new reality that a significant percentage of the population will be unemployed.
We would do well to mobilize people to either #1 or #2, since both would create change.

The trick is convincing people that they're getting screwed over by something that can be changed. Most just accept it as a way of life.
Can someone explain to me how these places figure out that it's engineering's fault for failing to figure out how to monetize passive aggression, 140 characters at a time?

I mean, if I were asking myself "why did we fail to achieve our expected growth potential", am I going to blame the people who did what I told them to do, or am I going to blame what I told them to do?

Well, clearly, if I'm an MBA, I'll blame the stupid proles.

I see you're interested in the history of the 9/11 attacks!

Here's a 600 page report with over 100 pages of footnotes. The first chapter deals with the hijackings. You can start your research there! http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf

In later chapters, there's a lot of discussion about the terrorist group that planned the hijackings, and not much discussion on missile ballistics. That's because the former happened as a matter of fact, the latter is pure fantasy.

Why misusing? Language has meaning by the convention of its users -- not by the fiat of English teachers. By the consensus of informal English, "less" and "fewer" can both be used in that scenario (by definition, since lots of people do it).
Most small sites ignore it I'd say, but if you're a big company your legal guys will be much more relaxed if you don't just ignore EU law.
That's part of the problem... you need a good resume to start with... many don't even take the time to work on that.

Stated more simply, React is just like "rebooting" your computer after you have changed the config files. It is, in this respect, quite ancient technology, except that the framework hits the "reset" button for you.
According to Russian media it's quite the opposite. They say Russia doesn't use the 9M38 missiles any more, Ukraine does.

You're not being controversial, because there isn't a controversy. There was lots and lots of information disseminated to the public. What do you think was withheld?
Do they have "first and last" LIDAR data, or just one value per point? It's common to capture the distance to both the first and the last reflection. This often indicates the top of vegetation and the ground level. With that, you can easily identify trees, brush, and crops.

I don't think that's true at all, although I can see where the stereotype comes from. The fact is, the more effort a potential applicant puts in before applying, the more likely they will be to get a job at the company they're targeting. That's not to say they'll get the job that's their first choice, but they may get another just that's equally good, or perhaps just a foot in the door.

It always pays dividends to invest in your human network. That applies equally well to college grads as to experienced workers.
First, no, they do not have "plenty" of BUK missile launchers, second, the launchers they do have are not parked in the middle of separatist strongholds, and third, it's not the SBU spinning wild stories of fighter jets flying alongside MH17 and sudden course changes by MH17 --- it's the separatists and the Russian Ministry of Defense saying those things, which have been conclusively debunked now by the Dutch report.
Agree with codegeek and would add to assure you don't sound like you can do everything. When I see a resume that has a variety of skills I don't think versatility, I think, "what do I call this person for". Don't be a jack-of-all-trades because then you're a master of none.

I take issue with your accusing me of trolling on the other comment. I am being playful but I am not trolling. What I am talking about is a concerted effort that began with Psychoanalysis in the beginning of the 20th century and moved on to the Frankfurt School and then the New York Intellectuals and now takes the form of Cultural Marxism. I recommend that you look up these keywords to learn more about the behaviors you have rightfully noticed. If you're interested in information with scholarly citations about this subject I recommend The Culture of Critique, it's a book that will open your eyes. I'd be willing to send you the book for free if you don't want to pay for it. That's because when I find people that seem to be on to the truth (like you), I give them a chance to peer deeper into the darkness.

Like I said, I took all the hints from things you said. It's clear you see it too. I understand people are very leery of pointing fingers especially when the conversation involves certain untouchable groups. However, as a trans person I'm sure you have courage in spades to study this subject without prejudice and preconceived notions you might have acquired during education in school.

If you still think I'm a troll, I'd really appreciate it if you could explain to me how better I could approach this subject with you without coming across as a troll. I can do it easily in person, but online it seems to always come across as trollish, I suppose because mentioning Jews is something usually seen done by shady characters with hidden agendas. However, I believe one can talk about Yakuza without indicting all Japanese, or talk about the Mafia without indicting all Italians.
We had such arms for decades already. Just because nobody bothered to make a laundry folding product out of them doesn't mean we can't do it with a robot arm. For better or worse, many (if not most) interesting projects aren't viable as business products.

Probably. But to do that, we need to be able to do work on that level; existing proteins seem to be just about enough for us to run proper experiments and eventually bootstrap production of nanocomponents better suited for our needs.
Yeah, there's always some holdovers commenting from the era of easy jobs and easy money.

Underemployment should be mentioned in any discussion of job difficulty; in the US, getting a job as a barista or fast food is possible, but a horrendous waste of a college education.

It's really a shame that the US has decided to let its most educated generation ever suffer for its biggest strength.
My brothers and I we're in the scouts and my dad was a den leader. In pinewood derby season we would design the cars how we want, rasp, sand and paint them until they looked perfect to us, scouts, not parents. When that was done, my dad drill cavity in the car (one year he went through the top of a car into his hand), fill the cavity with molten lead to max weight, then we'd wood putty, sand and touch up the paint. My den had great looking cars and we dominated these races.

When I digitized the first-edition OED, it took me about a month of nights, using equipment the Internet Archive let me use. That means I was doing about 1000 pages a night, including nights when I didn't work and nights when I got lost reading it. It doesn't take even close to a month to build a book-digitizing machine (thanks, in large part, to the Archive sharing information about the approach that worked for its Scribes), so the labor is the majority of the cost. Based on this and on US$15/hour for an 8-hour day, digitizing a letter should cost about 12¢.

12¢ per letter, but then how do you "create and maintain an archival site"? You make a torrent and seed it. If each 12¢ page is 35 megapixels (A4/letter at 600dpi), then 8:1 JPEG-2000 compression should get you about half a megabyte per page. Half a megabyte of disk space is 0.0015¢. I pay about US$32 a month for my internet connection here in Argentina, and it can sustain about half a megabit per second, upstream, which is 164 gigabytes per month; so uploading that page to the swarm takes about 8 seconds and costs 0.01¢. You probably only have to do this once, but you might need to occasionally step in to resuscitate the swarm if all the other seeds die.

So, to sum up, this "very considerable expense in itself" costs 12¢ per letter to digitize, 0.0015¢ per letter to create, and 0.01¢ per letter to maintain an archival site.

You're right about the copyright questions, which could easily cost US$1000 (100,000¢) per letter. And that is the true unseen theft of the world's literary history.

Back in the 90s when the print industry was still a thing my canned statement for whenever I passed a magazine rack was that Playboy should really start covering up the nipples so it can sit on the front of the magazine rack and compete with Frat-boy mags like Maxim, Loaded, and FHM. Playboy had great content and a great culture built up of esteemed contributors, it's a shame legacy pride kept them from making it to the next generation. I'm skeptical there's much left to salvage at this stage.
As difficult as it would be to find money for it - I would propose a one time entrepreneurship grant to all college graduates equal to an average yearly salary in the profession (this is an approximation and experts should figure out what variables should adjust for best amount). That would allow several things to happen:
1. New graduates with a strong drive for entrepreneurship can start working on their ideas right away and do not have to spent several years working for corporations, picking up anti-patterns.
2. New graduates who are unable to find professional work can have a cushion while they search, and can potentially become lesser partners to people in the first category.

Jobs and careers are created by businesses, so the more small-medium size businesses there are, places that are still flexible in their mindset - the more work there will be.
The dreaded internal candidate situation is a waste of everyone's time. They already know who is going to be hired, yet collectively everyone has to come together to interview you anyway.

Then there's the rejection, if they even send one.
> But the feminists seem to suggest that things are getting worse or are worse now than they've ever been.

I'd guess that it's because the feminists see the progress, and therefore start having hope that women might not be forever stuck with a worse deal than men. And then, once you have hope, the existing situation seems more intolerable than before. It's not worse than it was, it just feels worse, because you now allow yourself to hope for better.
Apparently the guy who started it edited his post to point to this analysis.

“Steve Jobs”: Another failed product
Considering how many celebrities have disastrous finances it could be more about not running out of money before dying than having anything left over.
Yep. Even though it's true that people will mostly end up just skimming the resume, errors or just general slapdash are huge red flags. I'm not even a particular believer in customizing resumes (unless you're looking at genuinely different types of jobs) so it's really worth the time to get it just right.
Errr, he doesn't even need to use ANTLR, he can use clang, as a library. It can be linked into an app, has a nice AST, and matching abilities:

Yeah. This is the basic point many people decrying nanotechnology as a pipe dream are missing - that life itself is nothing but nanotechnology, only one that we didn't design and we don't know how to control yet.
Life before money was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short". In fact I wouldn't choose to live anytime before the last 100 or 200 years. 1950 or later would have been my preference had I been given a choice. For how much we all like to armchair quarterback our current system (yes.. capitalism), it's easy to forget how bad 99.9 percent of the human experience on this planet would have sucked comparatively. That's not to say let's quit trying to fix things, but take a deep breath and look around. Things are pretty good. There is an unbelievably high probability that you and all your children live to old age. You won't have to be too cold, too warm, or too hungry during your stay. Not bad.
Co-Mo Electric is rolling out fiber to Otterville, MO next year, after which I'm moving there. From small town to smaller town, but from slow cable to fast fiberoptic. Win!

Any idea if there's some sort of meetup-alternative for tech-minded people moving into the area? Just based on this thread, Co-Mo Connect and other rural fiber initiatives seem to be attracting a fair number of developers/entrepreneurs. It'd be great to all get in touch with each other.
I'm not saying easy to reason about in the sense of "easy to learn because it isn't a change from how we used to do things", but rather, in that it allows one to easily answer:

- What is the current state of things?
- How did we arrive at the current state of things?
- What should the UI look like given the current state of things?

It means that we can say: "Thing A happened, then Thing B happened, then Thing C happened". And then conceptualize "what should things look like after that chain of events". I've found this to make errors a whole lot easier about, because I don't need to piece together the state when an error happens -- just fire an action that says "An Error happened", then the stores figure out how to act accordingly. It's just another action.
Not to discount the severity of the student loan problem, but the market is really not large enough to cause the next big crash. For some perspective, pre-crisis mortgage debt was almost two-thirds of GDP whereas student loans are still a much smaller portion. Mortgages on hugely inflated home prices also sucked up a huge portion of incomes in 2007. Add in the systemic infection of credit default swaps and junk mortgage-backed securities on Wall Street and you had the Crash. Hopefully we'll wisen up well before student loans get to that point.
I'm curious if that sentence is itself an explanation for the perception that a 28 year old might not be an adult.

In other words, at least in American culture, adulthood is strongly tied with stable employment. If the 15 - 29 age bracket in general does not enjoy stable employment, that could itself be responsible for creating the perception that members of this bracket are not adults.
Good to know there are people stepping down off of open source project leadership roles without throwing a tantrum!
> Was John LaDue’s deviance counterfeit? He told Cranbrook that he would have gone ahead with his plan had he not been stopped, and she believed him. The second of the psychologists to examine him, James Gilbertson, also felt that LaDue’s threat was real: his obsessive preparation had created a powerful momentum toward action.

It's strange that we believe the teenage boy would do what he claims when it's violence.

Would they so readily believe him if he told them he was going to be a rock star? Or an NFL wide receiver?
Cool - but do you feel like you are paying for the content or are you paying for the experience/environment that you listen to the podcast within?

My point was just that when people do pay, in their mind I think they are paying for the podcast itself...and don't really care all that much about the middle men (same basic thing with music really -- there are, of course, exceptions)

> Most of the comments here focus on how people aren't trying hard enough to get jobs. This article indicates that the jobs don't exist and that the problem is likely to get far worse.

The reality is that BOTH are true.

There is no law stating that each generation of humans should have it easier and with more resources available to them. My generation is facing this crisis, and the default response is to complain. Which is fine for a few minutes or days, it's good to vent. But at the end of the day, that won't change anything. It's time to get to work, even if "work" is 20-30% (random number) tougher than what our parents dealt with. Assigning blame doesn't solve anything.

That being said, I definitely agree some sort of Basic Income strategy will be necessary going forward. Perhaps soon.
