Been a designer/AD for seven years: does it still make sense to list adobe, coding, etc under a "Skills" header on my resume? The adobe stuff is a given no? And mention other stuff in interviews?

I had a design director who made designs in keynote exclusively because he didn’t know Adobe so... you’d be surprised

I stopped putting programs on my resume just recently because I’ve seen a trend to leave them off as you become more experienced. Not sure if it’s a good thing, I just like the way it looks sans program skills

At that level, I’d list it.

I would also list one or two “skills” you want to be doing more of. Why put down PowerPoint when you can pick up more Cinema3D experience. I wouldn’t be upset to hear you’re ambitious enough to be learning new, related capabilities in the interview.

I say yes because recruiters see your qualifications first. They might not realize that it’s a given like a design director would.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my
Amazon Round 3 interview in the first week of May but the interviewer didn't join. My recruiter didn't reply for a few days and then rescheduled it.
Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest

Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
