I've had two in one eye, once for some time, about three times. It's not nearly as noticeable as one would think and becomes less so the longer left in.

but 27, really!? Don't you think someone would notice at 5 maybe, or even 2 as you stated?

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Soft lenses are really soft. Hard edges from tears become soft etc. They are also extremely sticky to each other, and very well formed to "spoon". So it's not like she would have felt a peanut size thing in her eye or anything.
I'm sure she noticed but was afraid she was doing something wrong or something was wrong with her.

I've never worn contacts in my life, except for one pair I had to use shortly after I've had laser eye surgery. One of them disappeared, and the doctor couldn't find it. To this day it still creeps me out, thinking it still might be in there somewhere. And that was nearly 15 years ago...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Having more than 11 years of experience as an asp.net web developer, I have worked only for one company, developing their website
from the ground up and supporting it. I started working there without supervision of a senior developer, and had no one to ask my
questions and I was the only developer. I managed to find solutions and implement the required functionalities from Ebooks and
the internet. Also I had time to study new technologies and were passionate about it, while might have not been able to use them
for the company since they didn't want me to do so. After that I migrated to another country and now I have found it challenging
to get employed as a web developer. The employers are so hard and expect a developer with a lot of successful projects and strong
team work experience, etc.
I don't feel confident as a senior developer I am happy to go with any job even a junior one.
I have written my CV the standard way, and have applied to many jobs and have had several interviews. However, my special
background and also me not being an outgoing person who keep conversation going(introverted) has prevented me from landing a job.
Most of my life I have been behind my computer developing programs, finding solutions, studying new technologies. I would be
happy to work as a freelance developer also and know there are websites like upwork, golance, etc. But have not experienced that
and a newbie.
I want a quick way to a web developer job, even with a low salary. Any suggestion? It would be highly appreciated.
I am skilled in ASP.NET(web forms, mvc), SQL Server, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, Jquery, just learned .NET Core, Entity Framework,
AngularJs, ReactJs, Bootstrap, SASS, git, MEAN, NodeJs.
Thanks

I have no idea in which country you're applying for positions but I suspect it's similar in most countries. In the US I've had a similar issue. I built an internet company from the ground up, had a few contract positions, and still have trouble finding work the "traditional way" despite my experience. Honestly, I don't have much advice besides what's gotten me more interviews and interest. The fact is HR doesn't always hire based on experience. Sometimes a single thing you say makes all the difference even though it shouldn't in my opinion.
So that being said - #1) brag. I don't mean be arrogant or full of yourself. No ones like that. But don't be humble. Brag about what you've accomplished. Remember, they aren't looking deeply through your whole GitHub, work history, or articles. They spend a minute or so glancing at your CV to see if you bring more value than the 100 other applicants. It's a numbers game. Focus on getting an interview through your CV - not the job. Get the job through the interview when you can speak your mind in full.
#2) Find a flaw. When you're interviewing, you're immediately in a "weak" position. If you can point to a flaw in their system and propose a valid fix, now you are in a dominant position. Your skills have improved their systems before they've even hired you. An easy way for ASP.NET developers is to point to common security flaws since they're unfortunately often overlooked.
#3) Be yourself. Don't try to be who you think they want. Just be you. If they bring up a topic you're interested in, talk to them about it. If you can teach someone during an interview, that's another powerful position you put yourself in.
#4) Don't get depressed because you did everything right and still didn't get the job. Sometimes you lose the job simply because you didn't have the same interests as the person interviewing you. People form opinions of other people not based on merit but on feeling. I know from a friend in HR that they once hired someone simply because the manager on the interview loved baseball and had a good conversation with one applicant about the current baseball season.
#5) None of this is fact. It's all my subjective opinion based on experience. Nothing more. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa. Just keep trying and building your portfolio. As a fellow introvert I know it's hard connecting with people in 30m or an hour during an interview, but if you really show passion for what you do it'll get through. Whether that's enough is up to them. Their loss if they pass.
Best of luck!

Excellent post! A few things to add:
Jon McKee wrote: #1) brag. I don't mean be arrogant or full of yourself. No ones like that. But don't be humble.
Go through your work history and make a list of accomplishments. Practice talking about your accomplishments -- mirrors are great listeners, and you can watch your own face and body language. Know your own accomplishments well, so you can talk yourself up without sounding like rote. This gives the interviewer a sense of your abilities and it makes you sound more confident than awwwing and uhmmming through the interview.
Jon McKee wrote: #3) Be yourself. Don't try to be who you think they want.
Never be afraid to say "I don't know" if you don't have an answer. If not knowing something costs you that job? You probably don't want to be there anyway.
But if you can relate something you have done to something the interviewer is asking? It fills the gap. This doesn't work in all cases (nothing does) but in my experience it works most of the time.
Jon McKee wrote: #4) Don't get depressed because you did everything right and still didn't get the job.
Absolutely! Two things to consider:
1. There may be hundreds of people vying for the position you are interviewing for. Only a handful get interviews so if you got an interview you have already done well! Focus on that important fact, and not that you didn't get the job.
2. You may be the right person for the job -- skills, abilities, personality, etc. -- but the person who got the job may be a better fit. You did nothing wrong -- simply said, you were not perceived as the best candidate. On this one job. Learn from it and go on to the next one. Remember, you got an interview so you were probably in the 95th percentile (or higher).
Think about any answer you gave that you don't think was good enough. Figure out what you should have said and be prepared for the next time it is asked.

Excellent points! I know I personally have an issue with sounding a little "rehearsed" because I do. I have an involuntary physical reaction to public speaking and interviews but not stakeholder presentations for some reason, haha. It's not that I'm mentally nervous anymore (at least not consciously) but I still have the physical reaction. If I already have a good layout to what I want to say I can focus on suppressing that reaction so I don't sound like I'm "choking" as much. Usually only lasts about 10 minutes but those minutes are probably the most important for building a first impression.

Since you've worked at only one company for 11 years (which in itself is impressive nowadays):
- break apart your work into discrete projects, even if it was for the same end product
- for each project, indicate the key people (even if it's only one person, but I would doubt that) you had to interface with for requirements, reviews, etc.
You've already identified 3 broad categories: design, development, maintenance. I suspect you can elaborate on the different requirements (projects) in each of those categories and the "team work" needed to accomplish the project. After all, you can't develop a website for a company in the dark (though looking at some websites, it seems that's exactly what happened.  )
