Episode 209: Glue and Covid ghost job
Soft Skills Engineering
In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:
-
Is a βglue personβ valuable on a software team? Someone who isnβt the strongest developer but is liked by teammates and builds a cohesive team dynamic.
-
A while ago I interviewed with a big company. Right after completing a code challenge, covid-19 got out of hand in my country and they sent me an email saying they are putting the process on hold.
Weeks have passed and I came across a job opportunity posted recently by the company for the position I was applying to. I felt betrayed. I emailed the recruiter asking for follow-up and she said that they are sorry about the situation and that they wanted to schedule a meeting.
The question is, should I let them know I was displeased by this or is this really a non-issue? Do I risk my chances by doing so? Am I acting like a jealous teenager? Thanks a lot and love the podcast, stay safe!!
