It really grinds my gears to order something online. Have no idea when it’s actually coming, only to find out that it shipped and REQUIRES A SIGNATURE.
As though everyone can just take random days off from work or work from home. It’s the same thing with doctors only being available during business hours on weekdays.
People, stop trying to cover your own ass and do what’s best for the customer, not yourself.

Starting Career Pro Tip
I normally don’t do this because I don’t have much advise for how to get through the technical interviews in big tech.
However, if you are a college student trying to get an internship or full time position at one of the big tech companies I can tell you what I did that helped a ton. Assuming they are recruiting on your campus:
- Go to their presentation
- Stay after and help them clean up
At my school the recruiters were responsible for leaving the room as they found it, not the university staff. They offered free food (pizza) and drinks to get students to show. Which meant empty plates, cups and pizza boxes strewn about.
By staying to help them clean I got to monopolize their time to ask all of my questions. They appreciated the help. I am nearly certain that after they put my resume on top of the pile.
