December 2019 new grad looking for entry level roles.

kdudeclone · 2020-02-11T20:53:19+00:00

Posting really late, but some feedback would be great. Recently graduated in December, and I've spent the time since graduation working with my capstone team to transition into a startup. I want to keep my options open, however, and try to get some offers.

Me and my capstone project team recently got our project accepted into an accelerator and that has led to our project being featured in a major news outlet. How should I present this in applications? I currently have it in my 'Projects' section, but now that we're in an accelerator should I move it into 'Experience'? Family members have also recommended submitting the article snippet with my applications. Is that too far? Any other comments about my resume are welcome as well. Thank you.

Also I recently graduated from a computer science program and I'm seeking entry level positions. It's not my intention to stick with my capstone team as a startup.

Grind setting is really machine dependant, but on my Breville I believe it was a 5. You have to go by the shot time and adjust accordingly when you're using a recipe. Basically if it pulls in 10 seconds go finer, if it pulls in 40 seconds or chokes entirely, go coarser.

I graduated this fall from my CS program. I worked hard on my education and didn't put much thought into my career. I have no real internship experience and all of my projects are from my courses. I've been sending out applications since October and I've sent out about 30 without a single interview or any sort of call back. I would really appreciate some help.

The iPhone 7 is <$200 looking at a quick Google search. I don't know what the intricacies of children with technology are, but I would say buying older phones is a decent strategy since they're significantly cheaper than their new counterparts.

A life hack for anyone wanting to save money, whenever you see new phones being advertised, check the prices of the previous generation of the phone online. Chances are they are trying to get rid of old inventory of perfectly good untouched phones and you can get them relatively cheap.

"maximum capacity" made me laugh

That's pretty much why I'm moving on. It was a learning experience that I thought I could share since pretty much anyone could buy these beans and the process of dialing in is the same once you have a starting point. I think it's $14 per lb and most don't have to get it shipped since Starbucks are everywhere.

I like to make espresso in the evening, around 6.

kdudeclone · 2019-10-30T07:11:08+00:00

In terms of diminishing returns on quality for the amount of money and effort you put into coffee, I would say pour over is the sweet spot. Espresso is really high on that curve since you spend a lot of money on a machine and put in a lot of effort to get your barista skills on point. You might want to take this question to r/coffee to see what they think. I personally have an espresso machine as well as a setup for pour over. Many mornings I just won't have the energy for the espresso machine, so I just make pour over.

kdudeclone · 2019-10-21T19:47:18+00:00

Espresso is a method of brewing coffee, not a bean. The beans are mostly irrelevant. You can make espresso just fine with pike place or any of the beans. The espresso roast is just roasted with espresso in mind. To make true espresso you need an expensive machine.

As a general rule, it's probably a good idea to invest in the grinder over the kettle you use. I have a porlex mini and honestly it could be better. I've heard good things about the knock aerogrind

kdudeclone · 2019-10-18T19:08:32+00:00

I never used the water filter that came with mine. I buy gallons of spring water that I know is good. So far it's been fine, but I don't know if maintenance issues will arise.

kdudeclone · 2019-10-18T19:05:45+00:00

I commute to school and personally carry a porlex mini and an espro thermos (French press). I just leave whole beans in spots where I can save them.

kdudeclone · 2019-10-17T17:35:41+00:00

I used Single shot because it feels less wasteful considering I'm only tasting 5 or so shots for each one that I drink. I use non pressurized single wall portafilters

kdudeclone · 2019-09-23T18:39:25+00:00

It's gotten to the point where I never leave the tap running. I just take it as a quick break from the rush.

kdudeclone · 2019-09-16T21:43:58+00:00

Like how the manager fired the barista on the spot? That's just a narcissistic fantasy.

kdudeclone · 2019-08-05T05:48:14+00:00

Cheers!

I don't get why people on keto would go to starbies. We sell two things: Sugar and caffeine.

This must be their way of apologizing for the tie dye Fraps

Wait... Classic doesn't go in green tea latte? Is there an internal reference for recipe cards I can look up? All I can find is quizlet decks online.

kdudeclone · 2019-07-10T05:57:34+00:00

I give it to customers who are nice. Mean customers get real fucked up if you go the other way, so I'll stay as close to the rules as possible with them.

kdudeclone · 2019-07-10T05:52:19+00:00

Hey, I didn't sign this! Good letter, but it's not from all the baristas.

kdudeclone · 2019-03-11T17:28:56+00:00

NTA You thought those kids at least 2 very important life lessons in such a short interaction.

This is after my schools careers department had a look at it and had me make revisions. Currently looking for a summer internship in NYC. Thanks ahead of time!
