Remember that the interview is a two-way street. Try to think about it from the point of view that you are also interviewing them to see if the job is suitable for you, and to see whether you want to work with them.

Too often people see it from the point of view of the interviewer having all the power - of thinking "will they want me for the job?"

But by asking "do I want to work for them?" - this can shift the way you perceive the balance of power in this situation, and that can help reduce the anxiety.

I read Sell with a Story, by Paul Smith about a year ago, and I thought that was pretty insightful.

I'm using this monitor, and it has replaced a dual-screen FHD setup. The amount of vertical resolution is fantastic.
Re:Goodbye and good riddance to the 16:9 aspect ratio on Wednesday January 20, 2021 @08:55AM (#25846446)
I recently switched from dual FHD (1920x1080) screens to a single 1:1 (1920x1920) screen.

Having that much vertical resolution is great especially when looking at documents and code, and I feel no need for a secondary screen.

I even temporarily went back to the dual FHD screen setup while in the office, and honestly it was like looking through a mailbox. Now when I see the dual screen setup with one in portrait mode, and one in landscape mode - it just looks to me like a poor solution to the problem of not having enough vertical AND horizontal resolution. For me, the square monitor solves it, but it may not be for everyone.

For those interested, the monitor in question is the Eizo FlexScan EV2730Q.

As an alternative to Smart TVs, something recently caught my eye on a deals website - signage displays, such as a Samsung QM49N. Anyone have experience with these?

While it does run an OS, it doesn't have a TV tuner, and I doubt it would show ads, since it is designed for signage (where I guess you have the control to show your OWN ads)

I guess an Apple TV-sized "Mac nano" seems plausible as a potential product now (I hope)

I was hoping to see a return to 16:10 aspect ratio screens, but it looks like they're sticking to 16:9
