Caltrops - Wall Street Kid





	[quote name="Quétinbec"][quote name="Fussbett"] Speaking of being fucked, there's not much chance for a successful con job if they're expecting you to do any website development and your experience is one misaligned site. I suggest that your time is better spent discrediting your resume or otherwise spinning the resume information into an elaborate misunderstanding. "Oh no, I was <i>project manager</i> on web development for that job. Yes I made the sites, but I didn't do any programming aside from tweaking the odd CASCADING STYLE SHEET." If you explicitly said you were a web programmer, then figure out a way to quit on Thursday. [/quote] Here's what I've got to defend: 2006–2007 SSMI New Delhi, India Web Designer  Web programming: HTML, XHTML, CSS  Asset gathering: photography, web hosting  Client interviewing The impression I haven't dispelled is that I have two years web development experience. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: What would the average web developer know about 'databases'? Isn't that a programmer's thing? How hard is it to host a web site? You just pay a company and mail them your .html files, right? I've kind of given away my lack of knowledge by even listing it, right? I don't mind looking average, I just can't come across as amateur because at the moment I'm propping myself up on my non-existent versatility to compensate for my lack of financial experience. If I can avoid getting found out in this first meeting, I'm sure I can blow off any requests for web assistance and become proficient enough at what I'm supposed to be doing to ease the pressures to move me. My biggest worry is they ask me to show them a site I've developed. I was gonna pay ICJ $100 to put my real name somewhere secret on this site so I can claim credit for Caltrops, but the fear that they'd find this thread or some motherfucker would out me killed that idea. Do not fuck with me, people! Two years in this job and I can transfer anywhere in the world. [/quote]
