Alright so... I learned that increasing your job-getting chances means selling your CV as best and tailored as possible. You can be a super candidate with a lot of strong skills, but if you sell yourself like you're a trash can, then yeah, people will say "thanks but no thanks". lol

Communication is your strongest point in getting a job... yes, of course, and likeability through it. You must phrase everything right.. Everything has to go right, verbally and non-verbally. What a tough job that is.

    Don't forget about people skill first interview with someone you'll likely never meet again, then the "skills" second interview where they'll evaluate your social skills again ;P

    @BordedDev AaaAAaaAaaaAaah. hair grabbing. The tech skills one is more daunting to me because they really hammer you on that one. From cryptic puzzles to "remember how you implement a comparator?", it's damn annoying.

    @CaptainRant Yeah, the last one was trying to critique me on a piece of code and turned out he just didn't understand how python works (so I wasn't looping through a whole list I was caching the single entry)

    @BordedDev Good catch. And that's darn efficient! Hey.. that sounds like a generator. Hm.

    @CaptainRant OOOOOOHHHHHH that could have worked as well. But it's for matching a pattern in a 2D grid and the first match was a hit but an outer generator would have been very cool returning all the hits

    I don't think any other trade has such a huge gap between the skills required to get a job, and those required to actually do the job. This explains a lot.
