Dnes som bol členom štvorčlenného panelu pri nábore na manažérsku pozíciu. Nízky manažment, práca s ľuďmi, trochu administratívy, minimálne plánovanie alebo projekty. Nepovedal by som že je to entry level job, ale ďaleko to nemá.

Mali sme päť kandidátov, z toho:

• dvaja interní kandidáti (jeden team lead ktorý už de facto tú prácu robil, aspoň v menšom merítku, jeden z administratívy)
• traja externí kandidáti, z čoho dvaja boli čerství absolventi

Všetci piati boli mladí, teda 25 a menej.

Panel prebieha jednoducho, na každého kandidáta máme zhruba hodinu a každý z ľudí na paneli má vopred určené témy na ktoré sa má pri kandidátovi zameriavať. Každý člen panelu má aspoň jednu otázku alebo úlohu na kandidáta, inak je to pomerne voľné.

Deň by som zhrnul ako neúspech...

• prvá kandidátka, absolventka bez praxe dávala pohovor dobre a vyzerala ako silný kandidát až kým kolega nevytiahol roleplay. Dostala za úlohu konfrontovať zamestnanca a vysvetliť mu že páchne, čo obťažuje ostantých zamestnancov. Bohužiaľ takéto ťažké konverzácie sú niekedy v náplni práce manažéra. Kandidátka sa dostala chvíľu na prípravu, počas ktorej sa viditeľne zložila, ospravdelnila a utiekla z pohovoru.

• Druhý kandidát - interný uchádzač - sa zasekol na úlohe ktorú som mu položil: mal mi vysvetliť svoju pozíciu, náplň práce, funkciu ktorú momentálne v práci vykonáva tak, ako keby som náhodný človek z ulice ktorý o biznise nič nevie. Jednoduchá úloha na konceptualizáciu, pochopenie inej perspektívy. Vôbec to nedal, neustále používal interné výrazy, nedokázal sa držať nejakého logického postupu, hierarchie.

• Tretí kandidát, absolvent. Nepočúval nás, ale že vôbec. Ako keby bol pod vodou a zachytil každé tretie slovo. Niekoľko krát sme ho upozornili keď sme sa ho niečo opýtali a on začal rozprávať o niečom úplne inom.

• Štvrtý kandidát otvoril s tým že chce pracovať ako SZČO. Opýtali sme sa prečo, odpovedal niečo v zmysle že by mu to lepšie vyšlo finančne, a že nechce platiť vysoké odvody. Kolegyňa z personálneho mu vysvetlila že ponúkame len prácu na TPP, na čo povedal že nemá záujem.

• Piaty kandidát sa nedostavil. Hodinu po termíne pohovoru zavolal či sa dá pohovor presunúť, že zaspal

Zajtra máme ešte štyroch, dúfam že to bude lepšie

#The Faith of Beasts spoilers ahead

I was wondering about the apparently non-existent Carryx surveillance of their subject species. I came to a conclusion they probably don't even understand the concept of secrecy or conspiracy, and here's why:

• Carryx treat subject species the same way as they treat other Carryx. They recognize physical differences and needs, but not social or psychological differences of their subjects. We can observe this every time they interact with subject species all the time

• While Carryx do have conflicts among themselves, I wasn't able to find single case of them conspiring, intriguing or doing anything that wasn't their purpose. They don't sabotage their peers in order to advance through the hierarchy, they don't have rivalries. While they do have internal conflicts, they are resolved immediately through direct action - challenge followed by a fight for dominance. They're very machine-like in this regard.

Combining these two led me to the conclusion that they're oblivious to the concept of conspiracy. That's why is the surveillance of subject species basically non-existent, that's why was that one subject species able to wipe out their homeworld, that's why can Daffyd and the crew conspire all the time with zero acknowledgement from the Carryx.

There's also more, but slightly weaker evidence:

• It's stated multiple times that Carryx don't run some registry of humans, they wouldn't realize when one human dissapeared and a different one suddenly appeared (the spy)
• It doesn't seem like they were suspicious of Jesslyn's story and actions, more like confused. The same reaction could be observed when the Librarian questioned Daffyd about whether or not can Humans send out information bursts.
• Daffyd couldn't think of/find a word for Secret during the incident with Freis, so he instead used word "privacy"
• The data streams from the archive don't seem to be encrypted, the spy is able to intercept and read them, it's just that's there's too much data
• The amount 'freedom' Jesslyn is given during her task, as well as the freedom The Spy and Daffyd had while flying around. There was no suspicion

What Carryx do understand is withholding information - for example with cloaking field they used for their ships, and the use of Void Tendrils as a way to survey planets before they physically reach them.

What do you think about it?

Also during the incident with Tonner Freis Daffyd threatens the Soft Lothark by sending an information about their secret chemical communication to the Carryx. But I don't think Carryx would react to this information the same way Daffyd and the Lothark thought - just the fact that Lothark have other means of communication wouldn't immediately appear as a threat or a challenge to the Carryx. Humans communicate with each other freely all the time, even talk conspiracy, and the Carryx just don't care until a real threat or challenge surfaces. Even during the events of book 1 Daffyd had to point out that the splinter group are a threat to Carryx.
