      Just installed Fedora 27 on my office desktop instead of Deepin.

      Any issues with using ScreenConnect / ConnectWise on it? I can't seem to get it to run on Linux Mint

      Any reason you don't run Fedora?

          How does that affect Mint vs. Fedora? I assume you are using Cinnamon on both. Same overhead.

                        The tech DID replace some outdoor wiring today. Maybe he actually found something.

                          Just finished a video interview. It was the first I've done like that where the system presents a question and then you record yourself answering it. When you're happy with your response you submit it. An interesting solution to the phone screening. Not necessarily better, but a decent solution for a carefully staffed organization.

                          I've heard of this as an interview method/screening process for hospitals over here. Never thought it'd be also used for IT people.

                              I wonder that too.. likely the cable is already gone. but curious to know if it had been nicked or something...

                                  I've never seen that used. Done video, but it was live.

                                    It was the standard intro questions, e.g. Tell us about yourself, Why do you want this job, Why did you leave your last job, etc. Wasn't anything industry or job specific.

                                          Why do you want this job? It pays more money then my last job.
                                          Why did you leave your last job? It paid less money then this job is offering.

                                            Really - those aren't good reasons for a company to hire you though. They don't care about your financial motives - in most cases. They do care about it only up to the point that you quit because of it.

                                            Instead of saying they paid less, you pay more, something like - I'm looking for more personal advancement than my current employer provides. If they ask for you to expand, mention things like educational growth, exposure to new technologies and challenges and financial advantages.
