Great coffee chats today, including with @LaurelYounisDev πŸ™‚

One topic:

Do I recommend a gradual transition into management? (Yes) Why?

🧢🐈 1/10 ➣ Being a "unicorn"

I wrote about the term "unicorn" in a recent tweet.

Lovely coffee chat with @jenanemone today πŸ’›

We covered a lot of ground, I may do a few tweets after that conversation.

First topic:

Listing less experienced skills on your resume

🧢🐈 1/4 ➣ DO list lesser known skills

Your resume needs to make it past ATS screening, automated or manual keyword searches.

Include whatever you have experience in. 2/4

Are you interviewing for a software engineer role?
Are you worried about paired programming exercises?

Here's what I look for in candidates during these exercises πŸ‘‡ - How are you communicating your thoughts
- How clear is your communication
- How friendly are you, would the team enjoy working with you
- How much do you contribute ideas, and how receptive are you to feedback or new ideas
