I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.
I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?
You should submit resumes as a PDF. This both guarantees it will look the same everywhere (regardless what you made it in, whether it’s Word or Latex or Google Docs), and it will prevent shady recruiters from editing it, which sadly does happen.
Well, it won’t prevent it but it will set a low technological bar that most muggles can’t seem to get past.
