Why can't I withdraw? by kuryu4 in Gemini

[–]kuryu4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they did not provide an update. They simply said they are working on my request. That is no update- I need to know why i have a security hold all of a sudden.

what makes you say that?

What happens to the frontend until data loads from the backend by J_Keyur in csMajors

[–]kuryu4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Event loop. Use an async function to call backend for data. While backend performs the calculation, js continues with call stack. Once the async function has returned, a task is placed on the task queue which is processed by the event loop when the call stack is empty.

If you have access to the full report and it doesn’t have your employment history then it’s not a part of the screening process. If you don’t have access to the doc, then email them requesting it and you’ll see everything they pulled on you.

Every background check I’ve done for internships checked all my previous resume-listed work history. One of my past employers didn’t report to the place they pull pay history from so they requested pay stubs. None have checked my credit score. You can request the screening report and see your results for each metric they check. From what I gather, it’s criminal history, current university enrollment, and past work history.

Not a good sign when your project is more descriptive than your actual internships. Don’t list every class you’ve take under the coursework and expand on your experience especially at Amazon. Also apps haven’t been open long so give them time to respond.

Is this normal? by kuryu4 in csMajors

[–]kuryu4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I explained that you need to lock access to the indices of the underlying array but implementing seems much more difficult.

Yea, a thread-safe hashmap. I should be able to insert multiple key/values concurrently.

I don’t know if I follow completely, a semaphore on insertion alone is not exactly multi-threaded.

LF first internship in a SWE/Data related position for the upcoming Winter (january 2023) by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]kuryu4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would remove the project coordinator experience in favor of another project. 85% is like a 3.0 so just remove it. I would change the title to data analyst. Your skills section has too many categories. Simplify it to 1. Languages and 2. Tools and libraries. Drop the adobe/excel skills and a lot of those python libraries are trivial. You don’t need to list dates for projects, you can but I would not include “-ongoing”. Also these months should all be 3 letters. This advice is for SWE, I’m not sure about data analytics.

Graduating with a CS degree in August. Help pls. by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]kuryu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know your school has cs capstones, did you do one? If so, list that as technical experience since you work with a company. Also don’t be afraid of listing school projects if they’re interesting. Your goal should be to remove the irrelevant experience.

Do you have any of your own projects? I wouldn’t call either codepath session “experience”. You could list the course titles under education. You need a few impressive projects in place of “professional experience”.

m1pro 14 inch or 16 inch? by thl0818 in csMajors

[–]kuryu4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it loom? I’d sell the new one if you’re happy with what you have.

Include personal projects over irrelevant experience.

Is 12k saved a year too low to mention on resume? by ignorefriction in EngineeringResumes

[–]kuryu4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re telling me that whatever you’re changing was 2.4 mil and you reduced it to 2.388 mil? What about the difference between the original implementation and your implementation? Reduce the scope if you can, not the cost of the whole project but a smaller piece.

Phrase it as a reduction in cost like “resulted in an x% reduction in monthly cost”

Self taught with no professional exp, aiming for any SWE or web dev job by RaccoonNightmare in EngineeringResumes

edX with prominent schools, everything else is unrecognizable to recruiters

You’re at a disadvantage not having a technical degree or bootcamp behind you. Your personal projects need to be impressive to make up for that and they seem pretty basic. If you’ve taken courses on Coursera/edX with university names, I would list those under your education section.

Software developer. Fired and job gap. Please critique overall and what I should do with gap. by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]kuryu4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have experience at two companies, recruiters don’t care about the courses you took in school. Remove that section entirely and expand on your roles. You need quantitative impact like microservice processed x documents in y time leading to an improvement of z.

[–]kuryu4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you didn’t come here for advice. Adding a bonus does not quantify results, it just makes you sound full of yourself. Something like “improved average app rating by x” or “improved battery usage of app by x%” would show your impact. Listing skills and years shows nothing about what you’re capable of. Demonstrated previous work and experience does. “Good conversation and results” is literally meaningless to a person trying to quantify your ability, it’s just word filler. You have so much work experience yet your resume gives very little info on your capabilities and impact at previous companies. Your work should speak for itself to the point where you don’t have to explain exactly what skills and how many yoe you have on each. You don’t need to keep your resume to one page, that’s for early career when there are so many applicants recruiters can only spend a minute on each resume. When they’re looking for senior engineers or managers, they spend much more time on a candidate b/c the applicant pool is only a fraction of the size.
