Interviewed | San Francisco | Account Manager | REMOTE | https://www.interviewed.com

Interviewed builds job assessments that let candidates demonstrate their real world skills so that hiring managers don't have to rely on resumes, behavioral interviews, and personality tests -- which are inherently flawed. By completing job simulations, instead, the best candidates stand out regardless of their educational background or years of experience. Our customers love it.
Over the last year, we've added fantastic customers like Uber, Fidelity Investments, Upwork, Thumbtack, Zillow. We need to expand our account management team to ensure all of their needs are met.

Here's what you'll do as an account manager:

- Own a set of key accounts and ensure that they are delighted with Interviewed and are achieving success in hiring by using us. That means proactively evaluating their hiring process for better strategies, responding to questions and requests, and frequent check-ins.

- Onboard new accounts by building out their hiring pipeline (jobs, assessments, automation, correspondence templates) and training new users.

- Ensure job candidates are having a smooth experience by troubleshooting issues and providing guidance to job seekers on behalf of our customers.

- Create assessments by researching and writing scripts for new assessments, proofreading and editing for other members of the team, and updating FAQs and macros.

We don't really care about your background because, after all, we are trying to help companies move away from traditional hiring. Some of the best people we've worked with came from recruiting, sales, and the arts. They have the dedication, endurance, and above all, enthusiasm needed to succeed in a dynamic, multinational tech company. If you are a great communicator, work fast, and are willing to take risks, we’d love to talk!

Our hiring process uses our own product and it usually only takes about one week from first contact to final decision!

Round 1: We'll send you an invitation to complete some questions online. These are designed to show us how well you communicate in writing (really important for a remote team).

Round 2: We'll schedule a short phone call to get to know you and let you ask questions about the role. We'll also invite you to a 1-hour work sample (a mini project) that is a simplified version of something you will do if hired.

Round 3: We'll schedule a day that's convenient for you to take on the role of account manager. You'll work with the rest of the team on three projects that will produce concrete deliverables by the end of the day. The projects are challenging but fun. This is your chance to see what we do, up close, and get to know the rest of the team. We provide a stipend to thank you, too.

Our generous compensation package will include stock options, medical and dental insurance, a 401K plan, and paid vacations.

Seems like it's unintentionally apt then ;)
That's true, but if you're a relatively seasoned developer, the ecosystem is stable enough that you can manage. By "stable", I mean, being able to run homebrew and install something like rbenv. I can't remember the last time Jekyll up and failed on me, but for other projects, it's straightforward to blow away a Ruby install and start clean.

Admittedly, I'm not sure how easy it is to find canonical Ruby management tutorials when starting out. I think Ruby's system is somewhat simpler than npm, but only because I don't do too much with Ruby and don't often need to change things around.
My experience exactly, started in 1998, stopped in 2002. I enjoyed the work but it was exhausting, add in the travel and it was just too much.
intelligent network devices

That's why those should get scrapped and replaced by dumb pipes. They only cause pain. I thought this lesson had been learned decades ago already.
Swapping hard drives and batteries is much more useful. It's also nice that you can take your optical drive, which seemed indispensable a decade ago, and replace it with something useful today.
I went down the same path thinking that I could make a better selling platform (more relevant filtering) for a subset of items sold by Amazon and other retailers. I also was rejected for not having unique content. Other affiliate sites had no problem granting my applications. I'd be very interested to see how you modify your site to get accepted! Hope all goes well!
Very nice. Saw the other responder's comment and decided to try it, am impressed. I don't play mobile games often; wish I found more simple but creative games like this.

After the first couple levels I was thinking "oh god I will never be able to do this" but now I've cleared the "anger" stage and have started to develop strategies to approach several different situations. Pleasant feeling.
Maybe you and I have different interpretations of what affects us, but I'm still affected if I live in a city with a dramatically increasing murder rate, even if I'm not likely to be murdered. I have friends working in trauma care at hospitals, for the police and fire department, I volunteer my time in neighborhoods I don't live in, etc. More than that, I have a hard time saying that the problems of people just a few blocks west of me aren't a) my problems already, and b) likely to become bigger problems for me in the future. Maybe it's all just misplaced liberal guilt, but I find it hard to ignore.
So we have better, commercially available, versions of what existed decades ago. That's progress, but is it progress toward general AI?

I love and live in NYC right now, but I wouldn't mind moving to Salt Lake City, UT. Political climate is a bit silly, but the outdoor recreation is just amazing. Skiing, mountain biking, climbing, fishing... all in your backyard. Cost of living is pretty low, but salaries/job diversity seem pretty low along with it, so I'll probably stay with NYC for a while.

There are no protections. Your activity is effectively public. By policy at the Federal level you are typically allowed an amount of browsing that does not cause undue burden to the network / taxpayer.

Practically, this is not rigorously enforced unless the site is explicit or taking your network down (or causing security problems).

Most agencies are Ok with a bit of casual browsing / Facebook (et al) / news stuff and have policies to that effect but if you are concerned about privacy then you're out of luck and there's a nice monitoring statement on each login to that effect.

Keep personal stuff segregated completely if you're concerned about it.
I come to Los Angeles a few times a year for several weeks and I really like it. I'm normally based in a mid-sized European city. In L.A. One thing that surprised me is the proximity of the mountains and Griffith Park for hiking, that's fantastic. Beaches very close, awesome weather, movie theaters everywhere, lots of diversity, etc.

Oh there are issues of course, lots of homeless, not bicycle-friendly, etc. But it is definitely on my short-list of cities to consider living in.

On the one hand we have this underhanded, sinister manipulation. On the other hand, we have lives to save.

Personally, I side with the supervillain on this one. Hurt feelings (including religious delusions) are nothing compared to the good you can make with a person's organs.

That said, I still (reluctantly) support the possibility to opt out. Forcing people to give up their body after their death is likely to have consequences I don't want to deal with.
That's fantastic, congrats on the sweet spot and hustle

> I am assuming that the Saudi government wasn't involved in 9/11 and that it was the actions of religious extremists.

You should read about Bandar bin Sultan, AKA "Bandar Bush", Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States for 20+ years [1]. Zacarias Moussaoui stated under oath that Bandar bin Sultan and the Saudi government financed 9/11, and the redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 Comission Report detail how two of the 9/11 hijackers received $130,000 in payment from Bandar's checking account. His nickname comes from his close affiliation with the Bush family. Bob Woodward claims that W. Bush told Bandar about the invasion of Iraq before Colin Powell.

It is very likely that the Saudi government was involved in 9/11, and it is worth investigating whether Bush and / or Cheney had foreknowledge of the attacks [2].

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point of the CA system that you only need to send the public key to the CAs?

So, unless the NSA possesses some P=NP level crypto breaking technology, it should be technically impossible for CAs to fake a particular public key, no matter how corrupt/undermined they are.

Of course there a few other more practical things an evil CA can do:

- generate another keypair and create a certificate that claims the key represents <organization of your choice>. Certificate Transparency is supposed to prevent that. Also if the organization gets to know about your fake certificate, prepare for their wrath.

- Offer a service in which you "helpfully" also generate the keypairs for your customers before creating the cert. Now you can simply save a copy of the private key and keep control. That will only work if your customers fall for it though and don't insist on bringing their own keys.

I think there is a problem in this article in conflating the news about the coming wave of technological unemployment with "AI only"

I've had the opportunity this year to pay very close attention to the AI debate since my girlfriend is doing her masters in social policy and her focus is on technological unemployment. (and the policy implications of the same)

This is an umbrella term under which AI lives under. Essentially any job which goes away to automation falls under technological unemployment.

Consider the 60,000 foxconn employees http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36376966 rendered jobless because of TEU. Their further plans to neat fully-automate http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/30/14128870/foxconn-robots-a... their factories.

Those aren't necessarily AI but they are unemployed. The distinction isn't really that important.

Now if we consider the public policy estimates of the number of jobs "at risk" of TEU in the next 5 to 10 years, we are looking at as much as 50% to 60%.

One particularly interesting line in one of her papers was that the estimates were as much as 40% "unless natural language processing reaches pairity with humans in the next 5 years" ... Microsoft achieved that pairity that a few months ago. http://blogs.microsoft.com/next/2016/10/18/historic-achievem...

Kristin Lee at the white house recently published some really interesting papaer on AI, Authomation and the social impact of it https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/12/20/artificial-intell... my girlfriend sent me the link with the subject "the whitehouse just stole my work!" - though it's really just parallel evolution, they're saying basically what she's coming out with too. (incidentally, if anyone reads this and has Kristin's contact info, I'd love to introduce her to my girlfriend, I think they'd be able to trade ideas)

Anyways - suffice it to say - Artifical Intelligence is only "fake news" if you've got your head in the sand or you decide to creatively misinterpret the literature.
