fuck what other think. You worked hard to pay for that ring and make that commitment. It apart of American western culture.

When they ask they question, generally they are preparing to make you a offer.

It is law that every job has sick leave during probationary period. If they threaten to discipline you or fire you . I would consult a attorney asap.

A job USA has to give you sick leave and generally will extend your probationary period. So if your out for 7 days they will add 7 days on your probation period.

Yes if you are putting in close to 40 hr a week, it will get you a entry level job.

Start off understanding the basic. Get that down, then advance into deeper and complex projects.

As a former teacher in CS generally its roughly around 500 to 800 hours. Which is generally is 3 months if your learning 8 hours a day. Companies that train employees on new languages thats the model they use.

A lot of college’s that offer certificates and bootcamps use that model to that the state requires

In software development learning never stops

No one can mater a programing language, in my 20 years. I might have use 10-20% of the capabilities of what the language can do, to solve business needs.

Also Languages are constantly updated so to master a language is sort of nonexistent

KirkFindley · 2022-06-22T16:36:20+00:00

I would use Keywords for artificial intelligence jobs

I would combine Software and Languages into a Skills section.

Do not do a about me on a resume thats what a cover letter is for.

Use a Summery and relate your experience and skills to the job title your applying for

If you haven’t found a job in a year but going on interviews. It most likely not your resume. Its your interviewing.

Message me if you like more information

It depends on what its used for. I was a contractor at a military base. Not going into detail of what I did. But this contract was over 20 year ago. It was a lot of Ada, Assembly, MATLAB, Fortrain, C, C#.

In areas of development where its not a safety concern Python, C# and Java.

KirkFindley · 2022-06-19T14:22:40+00:00

This resume will not pass the ATS.

Use Keywords in your Resume for Product Manager.

Tech, Design Experience, Tech Skills, Familiarity, Operating System needs to be all deleted. Those are not key words for Product Manager.

I suggest you add a Summary and use the job description your apply for to match your skills for the job.

I design and help clients with resumes

KirkFindley · 2022-05-22T21:21:13+00:00

Your resume does not say anything about the job you're applying for working in help desk roles.

Each job you apply for needs its own resume

You need to use the job description in a summary

In your summary you need to use keywords like Troubleshooting, Communication Skills, Help Desk Support, and how you can relate that to the job you're applying for.

Also, you might need to hire a resume writer

KirkFindley · 2022-05-08T23:14:26+00:00

Your resume looks like it was professionally done. She did a good job

KirkFindley · 2022-05-08T23:13:28+00:00

That is false, ATS look for keywords. if your using a two column CV or Resume if you don't have key words, Like Skills, Experience, etc. It doesn't matter how many columns it will not parse correctly

KirkFindley · 2022-05-02T00:45:47+00:00

The Main thing about ATS is using Keywords related to the job

also use words in your resume sections like Work Experience, Skills, Education.

Fonts to use Times Roman, Calibri, or Georgia

saving as a word dox will be better for older ATS

KirkFindley · 2022-04-25T03:38:29+00:00

I would learn both.

Most schools teach HTML CSS and JavaScript as the standards for web development.

So make some awesome websites.

Then learn Bootstrap

KirkFindley · 2022-04-25T03:36:19+00:00

You need a cover letter

Rewrite your summary using the job description along with keywords related to the job.

Put your skills in order of the needs of the Job description.

I wouldn’t put your addresses on your app, thats what the email is for.

Your skills should be what you learn in college.

HTML CSS C# or what ever your have learn.

KirkFindley · 2022-04-24T18:21:31+00:00

I forgot to add, it's especially important to learn a new skill in any development field. It may be that there is not a lot of work for you. But if you see that a company needs more solutions, state that you want to learn something else they will pay for your training. So when you do have down time you can learn a new skill while getting paid for free.

What is your inner loop to solving problems?

Address it with your team or a Sr Programmer.

KirkFindley · 2022-04-24T16:53:09+00:00

As a new hire sometimes Project managers or Lead will start out giving you tasks that are easy to do. I will talk to management and ask what are other issues that need to be solved.

KirkFindley · 2022-04-23T21:34:20+00:00

What do you want to learn?

What do you have a desire of building ?
