Last year I wrote a bit about my frustation with tech recruiters. Around September 2020 I started looking for new jobs again (as my team was falling apart), so I changed my status to "Open for Work" again.
While I quickly found a new position, but still had quite a share of weird and annoying requests again.
I've been employed again for nearly a year now, and yet the stream of LinkedIn messages and requests seems to never run dry.
Here's my best-of from the last 1.5 years:
Dieser Post ist ein Rant.
Vor einigen Monaten habe ich mit einem Kollegen länger geplaudert, dessen Fokus in der IT-Sicherheit liegt. Wir haben Geschichen darüber ausgetauscht, wie traurig und fast unlösbar kaputt der allgemeine Zustand der Sicherheit unserer Branche ist. In diesem und (vielleicht irgendwann) folgenden Beiträge möchte ich verschiedene Beispiele zeigen, die ich in der Praxis in Unternehmen gesehen habe.
21.03.2021 updated 05.12.2021 Rants Since November 2020 I have profiles on both LinkedIn and Xing. As full-stack developer, you receive quite a lot of attention by recruiters, some very professional, some more or less clueless.
In this post, I present some messages I received with remarks of what I liked or not. I cropped all the senders and anonymized companies and links as well, as this isn't a post for shaming specific people or companies. Nonetheless, expect sarcasm (and a bit of hidden frustration / disappointment).
