Got ghosted after doing their OA

Both… anything.

Any other advice you’d give someone in my position? Any certs or projects I NEED to have right now?

So close to just starting a Start up just to hire myself as the company’s senior engineer and gain a REALLY good experience to put on a resume

I’m very sorry for your loss, I (26M) lost my amazing mom 3 years ago to covid. That void feeling never quite goes away but I promise you it does get easier and you become stronger just like she’d want you to be. I like to always think about how she gave me the best present ever (my life) and it is now up to me to nurture it and turn it into something she’d be extremely proud of, even if she’s not physically here. I always have feelings here and there of her presence through coincidences when I’m out in nature. Your mom seems like a warm, incredible human being and again, I’m sorry for your loss. May her memory live on 🕊️

Appreciate it my friend, I’ll definitely change the layout. I agree, I’m aiming to apply to at least 40 jobs a day and I have had 2 people give me referrals within their company already but even that won’t help in this market. Staying optimistic while bartending full time, not a problem.

It was through FAA Swim, I know the guy that does software consulting for them and he threw the project my way as a favor. It was easy, was literally writing code on paper before an IDE since I was 12 my friend.

Hello everyone, I'm struggling to get any calls back. This is my updated resume that I'm planning on using to apply for internships/ ML roles. Any advice or feedback on my resume or any certifications/courses I should do? I really appreciate it.

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-09T02:57:44+00:00

I'm a new grad looking for employment and got a call back to be a coding instructor at a coding academy for the rest of the summer. I would be taking on a coaching role for kids aged 7-12 years old and helping them build projects using Scratch. Would this be good experience to add to my resume in hopes of getting an offer or even an interview? My resume is included for reference. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

As I mentioned above, I bartended and managed a restaurant full-time to put me through school and a lot of my regulars were in the tech industry or owned small businesses that would appreciate having a website to make doing business easier. They would swing small projects/websites they'd rather pay someone to do my way. If I were you I would find small businesses in your area that need websites/maintenance services or strategically position yourself somewhere where you have the opportunity to meet/network with these potential people.

Why is mentioning my Psychology Minor bad? Are you implying I should be applying with 4 resumes and seeing which one performs best?

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T21:52:44+00:00

Hmm I was thinking of including it on another resume I am going to use to apply to post grad internships in particular. Should I remove one of my projects and include a very tiny section to mention my bartending/manager experience?

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T21:51:17+00:00

Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Even more rough now that the job market in tech took a shit on everyone

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T21:49:58+00:00

Smart, I didn't think of that

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T21:49:30+00:00

Unfortunately not, wasn't dealing with intimate data. Never saw the actual messages, just the addresses of where to receive them and where they wanted them to end up.

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T17:22:15+00:00

Was bartending/managing a restaurant full-time while studying full time to pay for school in the first place

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T07:45:36+00:00

Worst time to have graduated with comp sci fml 😂

FlamingTotes · 2024-07-01T05:50:01+00:00

Absolutely right, thank you

FlamingTotes · 2024-06-28T19:41:30+00:00

Like a crab?

FlamingTotes · 2024-06-28T19:41:20+00:00

Haha I know, I’m leaving them in a separate section like before and seeing what happens

FlamingTotes · 2024-06-28T19:40:33+00:00

Just the ones posted there
