What are /r/JobFair's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Okay, then get qualified. Learn to code, if you haven't already! Code Academy is a great resource. If you want to learn more stuff about design/want more resources, webdesignrepo is my bible.

If you see yourself going into a technichal / analysis role later on, consider learning some of the free statistical packages. both R and python are widely used in industry, and will give you a leg up on competition in the job market as well as potentially help you in any programming / computational stats classes you take later on.

If you go the python route, then Anaconda will be useful to you. It makes installing packages like numpy that involve compiled code from other languages easier.

If you like visualizations, check out bokeh

Not sure about the nitty-gritty details, but you might want to check out some of the courses Coursera offers to get an idea. There are numerous stand-alone courses that can increase your analytical and programming abilities, including a whole Data Science specialization: Coursera Data Science Specialty

Besides that, having interviewed for a few positions while in college myself, I found most companies were more concerned with analytical and problem-solving abilities than actual programming/mining skills. Most featured case-based questions and riddles to try and weed people out.

1. Build your own website or blog. Find something your passionate about and spend a few hours working on it. Really helps you sharpen your skills. I also posted a bunch of blogs, news sources, guides, and other things to dig into on another comment.

2. No, no, and fucking hell no. I just read an article where Facebook told small businesses it's all about "great content" But let's be real, a 2% reach no matter how awesome the content is will NOT result in any actionable added reach. On Stumbleupon a paid discovery campaign of 100 stumbles would reach and additional 25-50 people and result in about a 10% increase in actions. So if that translates to facebook (big If I know) you're looking at 10 actions for every 100 people that see a post. I'm actually seeing a 2-3% action rate no matter what on paid post promotion (don't use boosts, it's BAD) AND organic so it really doesn't seem to matter which mechanism you use, that's the engagement you're going to get. UNLESS of course it's a news website. I've tracked better engagement on TechCrunch, The Verge, CNN, Popular Science, etc.. than on sites like Buffalo Wild Wings, Hooters, Best Buy, Walmart, etc..

3. Yes, a lot of places allow remote work, but many don't. It's kind of a crap shoot.

4. Nothing really replaces the skills needed in those software programs. But you might download GIMP and try to use it (a free photoshop alternative). I also wrote a "post" on LinkedIn about how to create content on the cheap without using photoshop or indesign or even GIMP: https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140721162605-34803766-11-cheap-ways-to-get-content?trk=prof-post

5. Sure, why the hell not, just don't send me creepy PMs, weird cat pictures, or anything from /r/WTF

Ok, sorry, I was reading that as a list of required classes. If you have the money, time and so on to go through their program, by all means do it.

To me it really looks like the Data Analytics set will put you in a better place if you want to be hands on with the actual modeling, and the DA-IT track will prep you better for management.

With regards to :

Select one of the following:

IT-215: Introduction to Statistical Analysis System IT-220: Introduction to Structured Query Language

Take SQL over SAS. I'd also recommend this course if you go with data analytics

IT-431: Software Development in Distributed Systems

From what I've browsed, this https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1

also gives a really solid overview of some useful stuff, including programming in R. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to, that's only to get "certified"

Hi u/rebelcupcake, sorry to hear about your recent difficulties with your relocation and job search. I'd be happy to chat about you experience and give you feedback if you're interested! Feel free to either DM me here, reach me at [email protected] or signup for a time to chat here https://calendly.com/jobpath/talk-with-jobpath. Life is tricky right after school, but I hope we can work together to get the ship headed in the right direction :)

Hey, no problem. I saw you were in Boston and plugged in instrumentation technician, and there were a ton of jobs.

http://www.indeed.com/m/jobs?q=instrumentation+technician&l=Boston%2C+MA&from=home%2Cwhatauto%2Cwhereauto

It's one of those jobs that have a different title at every site. Our site calls it Electronics & Instrumentation Mechanic, but up the road it may be a little different. Good luck and Good bless with whatever you decide to do.

Python can be used to generate dynamic webpages and web applications. For example, if you want a customised home page for each user depending on his/her preferences, you can write a python program that reads the preferences from a cookie/user account data that will generate custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript to be sent to the user. A really good example of this for end users is Facebook. Google App Engine is a really good way to get started for this kind of stuff as well.

I started networking about a year prior to my separation date and landed a job as the flightline manager for an aircraft manufacturing company. Ended up staying there for a little over 3 years before the company went bankrupt and sold off its assets to a larger company, which in turn pulled stakes and moved all of the production back to its corporate headquarters.

It's a way tougher market our there right now, so I think what you're doing is the right thing to do. Get that education out of the way, but make sure you're networking with the people working in the industries you want to be in. Don't be afraid to approach a CEO or high level executive either. They're just people, and most are willing to help point you in the right direction.

Utilize LinkedIn too. A lot more recruiters are using LinkedIn now. So if you don't have an account, make one. In fact, they offer all military veterans a 5 year limited premium account. All you need to do is contact their support staff via email. Just follow the instructions laid out here... https://www.linkedin.com/groups/FREE-5-year-Premium-Job-2979225.S.268628438

Hi u/dadsmeatwagon, hate to hear you think our shit sux. Would you want to set up a time to chat about why? If not I totally understand, but just wanted to let you know we appreciate your feedback and hope we can not sux very soon. Feel free to either DM me here, reach me at [email protected] or signup for a time to chat here https://calendly.com/jobpath/talk-with-jobpath

Hi u/nol_the_troll, thanks for your interest! Right now we’re still working on developing our product, so we don’t really have any free trials to offer 😅 But, I’d be happy to review any resumes, cover letters, portfolios or general career questions you have for free! Let me know what you think, you can either DM me here, reach me at [email protected] or signup for a time to chat here https://calendly.com/jobpath/talk-with-jobpath

For home users Windows and OSX are definitely trying to go towards the Android model where by default you cannot run unsanctioned apps, but this restriction can be manually disabled. I imagine Microsoft is planning something like bit9 for corporate systems.

Windows security is lightyears ahead of what it was when XP came out, and malware authors have learned to live with every improvement. You don't need kernel access to encrypt your personal documents for ransom. Even iOS has had its share of exploits which allow you to do stuff up to rooting the phone. There are just so many skilled malware and exploit authors out there that it's very unlikely that you can build a complex OS which they would not be able to crack.

Of course, the iOS model might make traditional AV products useless if they don't have the same access that malware can get through exploits. What might work in those systems is network level protection where the stuff you download gets checked for malicious content and servers, something like what they're trying to do with the F-Secure VPN thingie Freedome.

First and foremost, rapport with your research participants and an ability to control and lead the flow of the conversation. Interviewing and listening for hours on end is hard, and you need to keep the session focused otherwise you end up talking about whatever.

UX is an important skill in and of itself. Your background in psych is great, but you need to know design and usability principles. Start by reading The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman - learn about the Gulf of Expectations and the Gulf of Execution in interface design.

I'm asking because she ^^^ mentions that if you have not had a Health information technology course ("HIT" is what she called it) then you will not get into billing and coding. The place I want to go to has no statistics or legal courses for their coding program or Health information technology courses so idk if it is good or not...

Well you have solved half the problem if you already know C++ because it is an extremly useful language in itself. You should try and look for embedded system jobs which require an understanding of core physics or mathematics concepts.

There is a whole course on HPP available on coursera. You can take a look at it here.

Not really experienced in the field, but my recommendation would be to check out places like IndieDB's Job Section. Get involved with some Indie Games, even if they don't pay much, (they probably won't) you'll still be building a portfolio and will be collecting references.

Use indeed.com and don't be afraid to search specialty fields that economics is loosely related to. Commercial real estate and distribution are hot fields right now that, in theory, have more internship openings. Technology is obviously also doing well, but I don't know how you can come up with search terms that would show the 1 internship opening a tech company like Rdio might accept an econ major for.

Apex (Salesforces propriety coding language) is based largely off Java, so starting with JAva might help. It's a heavily typed language (must declare variable types, etc), so if you have any experience in c/c++/Java/VBA, then that will help you along. Salesforce does run some training courses, and their documentation is usually full of examples, so those can really help.

With salesforce, you actually want to steer away from code/development where you can, and where it makes sense to. Whatever you write in code is always more prone to failure than using the standard UI. IMO, you should only ever code something if you can't do it in configuration.

Some links for some starting resources http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm https://developer.salesforce.com/docs

ship for 0$.

If you get <3000$ revenue (3900$ without apple/steam/google tax applied) you don't have to pay anythingin that quarter.

Means that you can win 12k$ without paying a penny to Epic.

If you gain more than that, see here https://www.unrealengine.com/register as it is a bit complicated. They are fairly generous though, imo.

You may want to look at (StrengthsFinder)[https://www.amazon.com/StrengthsFinder-2-0-Tom-Rath/dp/159562015X] It's not an exact fit, as that book is more, "help me find what I'm interested in or types of job that fit me"

Are there any books that you would recommend?
