On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog


Problem is that most people don't care :( they just want to play Zelda.

As long as exclusive games exists people will flock to their hardware. I personally dislike Nintendo as a company but I can't deny that some of the games they produce are the ones I enjoy the most.


> The company has been party to multiple lawsuits related to sexual harassment, assault and workplace injury/death and the ability to try cases in a more friendly environment will make it easier to encourage employees to optimize productivity.

Instead of fixing our culture, less move to a place where committing sexual harassment is "not that much of a problem" ... lol


Sadly the same world were every time Elon twits it become news :(


Why?


Sadly yes, selling snake oil does seem to work for some people.


So what?


And yet he has a blue mark :(


I think this will backfire sooner than later, Imagine a dictator living "100 healthy and productive years" or a billionaire amazing more and more wealth for longer whereas poor people are kept working for longer with poorer and poorer conditions.


First of all, don't be too hard on yourself, allow yourself some time to reflect on the things you have accomplished and be proud of them.

Also, if you are in Europe use the GDPR as a starting point to ask them to provide any information they have on you including interview feedback, they must comply.

And third and don't get this in the wrong way but you mention several times in this post that you are "a weak candidate from my CV", are you sure you are not giving this vibe to your potential employers?

Honestly, interviewing is hard and there is a lot of asymmetry between candidates and companies specially on this market conditions, my suggestion is (I know it will sound cheesy) but fake it until you make it.


Thanks for the tips and while the GDPR angle is interesting, but I am not looking to spend more energy on this, they won't be hiring me and I don't want to create some sort of reputation about myself.

As to your question, I am very open about the fact that I don't have the CV experience to show for it, but I am very confident about the technical skills that I do have and in general I come across as confident in the areas I know things about.

The reason I am specifying it here is to give honest context and to show that I'm able to do at least a basic level of introspection. I want to be honest that I didn't go to harvard, MIT, didn't have any prestigious internships and I'm trying to switch industries.

But I am confident that I did ace atleast 3 of the interviews and that last interview, which was the reason given as to why I would not be preceding. This is why I'm seeking some answers here.
