Job title: easy, you can use your prev job or whatever your expertise is
Company: this one is tricky imo. I saw “Visitor” , “Personal Contractor”, “Freelance”, “Independent contractor”, and also made up name (Bob Inc)…etc.
Usually those places just want you to fill out the info online, then at the event, you scan a QR to get your badge. But in some rare case, they need to call out “Your name + Your company” to get the badges. What do you do? I had to use my prev company title and name.
I often put none or NA. I don’t put personal contractor or freelance or independent contractor unless I have been doing that work at least recently. I think one thing that is making unemployment especially bad for me this time around is I have a real problem with being dishonest and we are literally running on an economy that runs on bullshit. Sometimes I can talk with head hunters in a real way which is nice but I don’t think they can seel me. Its like dude I am mentioned in papers. I have been involved in many solutions but none of them are very code heavy and we were not looking for them to be. I have done day to day loads. Im not sure im employable unless places start hiring based on people having done stuff over particular skills they want.
