Life
Category: Advogato

I will finish my studies this semester, with a worst time estimate of October, and optimistic estimate of August. And I've started to think about getting a job, the reason it came up is a job fare that is scheduled for next week.

With the short time I've started drafting my resume, the initial version is here. The English version is a translation of the Hebrew one so it's rather badly done.

Up until now I didn't had any "real" interview, for my first job I had a small chat with the Teaching Assistant, and then a small chat with the Professor in charge and I got the job. In my second work I got the job mostly based on the recommendation of a friend who already worked there, so the interview was also pretty short and simple. The third time I did a freelance job and managed to convince my client based solely on a job my friend (the same one) did, and delivered it. Now I'll probably need to go through the usual hoopla of several interviews and various tests and tricky questions.

I hate this stuff, I believe I'll do good there but I still don't like these tests and puzzles. It makes me reconsider my decision to go to work instead of continuing to an advanced degree. But it seems like I have far less inclination to continue formal studies now than hate of weird tests.

Well, sometime I'll need to do this anyway, so it's probably better I do it now and get over with it.
