What is your experience applying at the same company or department multiple times? Did the company hire you or it was a waste or time?

At reddit's cscareerquestions you can see a lot of new graduates applying at FAANG and being rejected, getting into despair. In fact you can hardly find any success stories where the person succeeded after the 10th interview.

For me, HN has a positive attitude toward MOOCs overall. Since I'm talking about videos on programming, why do so many videos show part of the screen the trainer during the whole time while they teach or write code?

What is the point of that?

I assume that's relatively something new, since KhanAcademy old tutorials are not like this?

I've read my fair share of motivational and self-help books. They have useful tips and make you fill good. On the other hand they all follow very similar templates like:

- High ratings(4+) on goodreads. I guess that's strong marketing?

- Always "best-sellers". Like all books are best-sellers?

- A lot of praises here and there.

I enjoyed most of the books but honestly I started questioning this repetitive, common sense, praising CEOs and famous people 300 pages blog posts.

Starting with the documentation obviously but I'm looking for suggestions from people using it frequently. The info page goes deeply in the details and it's overwhelming.

These days a lot of work is done through video conferences and meetings.

What are some tips that online meetings are less painful for other people? I believe programmers should also put some efforts on speaking well. The obvious answer is practising, but what exactly? Stick to ideas on verbal skills, presenting and clarity on the online meetings. I've seen "Patrick Henry Winston - How to speak" and "Edward Tufte - The cognitive style of Powerpoint".

Any other seminal resources and your own tips on speaking and presenting in the online systems?
