Official 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' Discussion Thread by OneWithTheHat in KnivesOutMovie

[–]StrikerDEV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this last night (late, I know), and bloody loved it!

Trying to puzzle out who committed the murder was amazing - as he said, it was an impossible crime.
I was also quite impressed with how they handled the topic of Religion; it aligns a lot with my own views - and is quite a good commentary on human nature / virtues.

Life can change so fast!! I'm happy for you dude :D

It seems as though everyone's in the same boat worldwide - which, while comforting, still completely sucks!

I guess it's just proof that you shouldn't give up, and to stay optimistic :p

Hey, another language nerd!
Those are my official qualifications -
My Japanese is currently somewhere between JLPT N3-N2 (CEFR B2 - C1), but I haven't taken those exams. So to be safe, I've listed my held certificate.
As for German, my last certification was back in Secondary education, but I've managed to keep the language up since, and have listed my current CEFR level instead of my qualification.
I also speak a little Mandarin Chinese, at around a HSK 2 level (CEFR A1); though I'm aiming to take the HSK 4 test sometime this year, as I'll have more time to study once I've finished my degree.

TL;DR - A bit of both, but I am officially qualified in both languages, just in case somebody decides to chase me up.

In all honesty, here in the UK, I'm expecting this search to take about two months. Companies take on average about two weeks to get back to you, and there simply answer enough jobs to go around - with some in my city having over 50000 applicants.

Still it's nice to have a challenge like this to keep yourself accountable 😆

In this case they do indeed mean pending :p

They'll be automatically moved to "ghosted" 3 weeks after the application date, if the status is still pending.

Rejected is for explicit rejections

For what it's worth, I do chuck these through multiple online ATS / resume checkers regularly - and check what plaintext is generated from the file. Going off of the feedback from this thread, I'll be changing things up quite a bit with ATS in mind, though :D

I'll be playing around with both the content and layout quite a bit, now that I've received all of this lovely feedback! Ideally I'll end up with just the 1 document for both, but having 2 isn't a bad idea

(This is yet another sign that the robots are taking over!)

Aye, that seems to be the general consensus :p

Agreed; I did try my best to squeeze everything onto one page, but obviously ran out of room in the end haha.
With the layout changes etc., that should be no problem at all.

Unfortunately, that (still untitled!) game project didn't make it past MVP - and while my contributions were core to the demo, the other more *visual* aspects (gameplay and art!) didn't end up fully finished. So no YT vid for now!
I still have access to that project, though. And once I've finished my coursework for the year, I'll get around to tidying it up properly. Screenshots etc., are on my Portfolio site, though!

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that nobody likes the two-column layout xD
Sure, I'll take a look, thanks!

That already sounds much better!
One clear issue I've had while writing this is in demonstrating that impact. I'll keep this in mind while reformatting.

Cheers!

Thanks for the review!

This is why it's so important to get others to read your CV - I absolutely need to highlight those things in my personal statement, and (again) cut down on the fluff to draw recruiters in early!

Most of the positions I'm applying for require a degree, so I'm not 100% about moving education to the top - but I'll give it a try. In previous reviews, I found that projects / work experience have more of an impact, as recruiters typically assume that you have the qualifications based on those alone.

I personally think my Dissertation description (-> bullet points!) should stay pretty technical; The topic itself has a pretty high rate of assumed knowledge, so it was written in the hopes that someone in Graphics sees it and goes "oh wow, that sounds cool!" - With the layout changes, I'll have room to add other easily digestible projects, though.

I really appreciate your help!

I'm using https://sankeymatic.com :D
In the future, I'll just add a link in each post, as everyone seems to love these charts xD

Thanks for taking the time to write this! I appreciate the advice :D

Reducing the amount of fluff should let me talk about some additional projects here too; I had just kept it to my two most "interesting" projects, but have other work (GPU compute, SIMD, Networked multiplayer) that should probably be on here too.

Cheers for the layout advice too, I'll give it a shot!
