Sharing a thought: I've been getting interviews but not the jobs. I'm wondering if it's my demeanor. I'm a very matter of fact type of person (I mean I smile, but not in a fake way). I went to Chick-fil-A recently and noticed how all of the employees are so cheerful. I thought to myself, should I pretended I'm a Chick-fil-A employee on my next interview? 🤔

I kind of love this idea, lol. We should all pretend to be Chick-fil-A employees during our interviews. Imagine how much better the world would be if we all acted like Chick-fil-A employees all the time.

I'm the same way. Just be yourself and youll get in where you fit in. You don't want the stress of pretending to be cheerful throughout the entire duration of your next job.

I've never been to Chick-fil-A, but I know someone who went to one and said she was "creeped out by all the fake happiness." I don't know, maybe we're just cynical people or something. But anyway, it's probably best to be yourself, but do make an effort to be personable. People tend to hire people they think will be good to work with, and if you come off as too aloof that could conceivably work against you.

I always found that being yourself and talking about your stories and things your passionate about, tends to bring forth the good energy people want without pretending to sell chicken

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
