I've always been curious, how are you determining the number of years you require in each language? What's your different expectations for someone who has 2 years of python development compared to 3, or 4?

I'd apply but sadly I don't appear to qualify since I haven't made/don't even know what linux applications are (which I'm guessing are objective c scripts, but I could be wrong, pretty unfamiliar with development in linux).


I did not write the descriptions of the technical roles. In our case, I would assume these are mere pointers, and people would actually look at your code foremost and ask you do practical tasks in the interview.

Oh well, worth a shot. Can someone else who was declined tell me if this was a copy-paste rejection or do I actually need to go over my CV with a fine tooth comb for errors?

With a nicer cover letter and an error-free CV, we might have selected you for an interview, but as is, it's a 'no'.

Okay, thanks. It looks like I've got another round of proof-reading to do :/

Not copy paste - even if it was, it's much better than no response. We even got an explanation instead of a plain "No."

I found 1 typo and 1 missing apostrophe in my CV after I sent the application, and they said that >1 mistake = no. I was pressed for time, otherwise I could have avoided it. I even have an USA editor as a friend and didn't think of asking him for help. :facepalm:

Too bad, because I would have probably smashed the tests and worked my ass off to do some quality work to earn some quality money. q_q

Thanks for the opportunity!

i can confirm that they aren't really sticklers for protocol. i didn't even include a real cv or mention any previous employers and basically just wrote a detailed cover letter explaining my history and why i thought i would be a good candidate for the position. that, along with github and coursera links, was enough.

although it seems like being a native english speaker probably works in my favor a ton.

I definitely agree that feedback is great and always appreciated. I just wanted to check that it was something I needed to look into. I've given it a cursory check but I'll have a more detailed look later tonight - not really in the mood now.

I think I disqualify as many native speakers as non-natives based on mistakes in their applications. If I take out the non-natives where the English is clearly not up to professional standards, it's probably a lot more native speakers than non-natives.

The mistakes are somewhat different though, the native speakers tend to hang themselves with actual grammatical mistakes, or using a wrong word that is still an English word and thus not caught by spell checking. What I also had this round was doubling up words and (clearly) re-writing a sentence, but leaving some remnants of the old sentence in place.

Non-natives struggle with prepositions mostly, and a lot of Slavic languages seem to give you difficulties to understand (indefinite) articles.

the problem is your meeting Scandinavians was not entirely random. Pretty sure there were quite a few selective factors at play. It's like if I were to judge about average Koreans by the Koreans I know of (progamers mostly), I would have to conclude they are all geniuses.
