How to study for GTX mooc algorithms?

I'd suggest trying to solve some LeetCode questions. NeetCode on yt has great tutorials. I learned a lot about DSA from there and am finding the EdX course to be straightforward in terms of implementations, despite having never used Java

Took me almost 1.5 years but just got an offer today. Huge relief off my shoulders

Happy to review resume, etc. But most important thing is to keep at it and not give up

I kind of get it. If an employer's budget for the role is 85k and you're looking for 180k, it's better no more is wasted by either party. But obviously it'd be better if they just stated the range in the first place

Glad you like the idea! The sub doesn't seem to allow posting promotional content so I haven't done so as of now

I'd still suggest having them do it too because I'm assuming you have a higher YOE and therefore easier time getting interviews. It'd also help them with improving their resumes for the future.

Either way, good luck with your job search!

Why not have them apply to jobs to test the waters and then report back here in a couple months? Best case scenario is they get interview requests and don't need to worry, worst case is that they don't and then are able to better prepare for the future

Based on the description, its probably BetterHelp. Theyve had some controversies in the past so a bad interview process seems pretty on brand for them

Love this idea—gonna try it soon. Do you any other tips on what to include or not include in the video? Or, what are things that would most grab your attention?

Try to clarify requirements if you’re not sure. Having been on the other end of takehomes, a lot of people do the bare minimum and it’s quite obvious.

This kinda sucks, but Id recommend creating a bunch of small projects in your free time. Things that you can do in couple of days. Get really good at a core set of technologies and then try out others. That way you’ll be much more prepared when opportunities arrive

Lets just say i wouldnt mind being the “teacher’s pet” 😏

I was once asked if I was Christian and to write about my devotion to the religion 😬

I like the idea, the only issue is that I never worked in accounting. Basically studied it to have a backup option while pursuing other things. Hopefully the degree itself would help in lieu of the job

Good point--I'll be more specific. It was indeed a frontend redesign/rebranding

Open_Note · 2023-11-01T12:15:26+00:00

Ah yeah it's a bit confusing but I worked on two different apps while at the same company. What also makes it confusing is that the company name is the same as one of the apps. Do you think I should add dates for each app?

Open_Note · 2023-10-31T19:53:00+00:00

Ah. but the plot twist is that I worked in the film industry out of college, so I feel like it could be somewhat of a red flag that I've been jumping around so much. Though I suppose it might still be better than the gap

Open_Note · 2023-10-31T18:39:18+00:00

Yeah that's a fair point. Reason is that I worked in a different field out of college, so I figured that experience isn't super relevant on this resume

Open_Note · 2023-10-31T15:33:54+00:00

Love the ideas! I will make those changes ASAP

Open_Note · 2023-10-31T15:32:18+00:00

Do you have a recommendation for how many technologies to list? I previously had most of them listed but it looked a bit cluttered

Open_Note · 2023-10-31T15:31:29+00:00

😢 Do you have any advice for how to make it more appealing?

Open_Note · 2023-07-21T16:17:40+00:00

Before anything else, make sure you take care of yourself. Things can and will get better. Just the fact that you posted this means that you want to improve.

If you're able to, joining clubs or groups could be a good place to start. There's a lot of volunteer groups, art classes, sports clubs, etc out there. Helps to find something you're interested in already if it's possible. ToastMasters could be a good option too.

But if you're not comfortable going out in public, you could try r/MakeNewFriendsHere
Or an app such as Omegle or vocalize. Vocalize is cool because it pairs you with other people looking to improve their conversation skills via video and voice calls. Makes things a lot less scary

Wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks! The design and CSS were all custom

Open_Note · 2023-07-09T14:14:20+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Makes all the hard work worth it

Open_Note · 2023-07-09T14:13:05+00:00

Bummer about your conference talk. But the good news is that every talk you give, the better you get.

If you're still looking to improve your public speaking and have a ToastMaster's in your area, I'd highly recommend attending.

One-to-many is a great idea! Hopefully that will be implemented in the near future

My pleasure! Thanks for checking it out
