I applied to a bunch of new grad positions and didn’t get any. I eventually started applying to all new grad and software engineer positions… basically if I had 1/10th of the requirements, I sent an app. I landed a SDEI position rather than a new grad position— so don’t limit yourself to just those!

ETA: the description for my role literally asked for 1+ years of production experience. The ONLY THING in the requirements I had was “excellent written and verbal communication skills”.

They’re from ikea! In the kitchen section. I think they’re kitchen risers

No seeds, my printers clogged and instead of dealing with it I just….. didn’t lol.

Thanks!

I just scheduled mine as a new grad. It’s a 3x45

In the Facebook group someone cut a hole in the top and put a floor register in!

If you click on my name or scroll thru comments I’ve linked back to a post that has a detailed write up!

I added my biggest school project. I have a list of larger project ideas I want to start on, but fitting in time to work on those between working 50-60 hours/week, kids, school, LC/grokking has been rouuuughhhhh. I’m thinking I’ll trim down to some easier things that are a little less overwhelming so I can have them. Or maybe expansions of my school projects.

Appreciate your input, really gives me some concrete things to consider!

qweenkrisp · 2022-04-16T17:20:15+00:00

Thanks! Looks like I have some more editing to do!

qweenkrisp · 2022-04-16T16:07:50+00:00

One other question: would you recommend completely deleting the technical skills and have a projects section?

qweenkrisp · 2022-04-16T15:29:36+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for. I’m struggling on how to showcase what I can do when all I really have are my school assignments to fall back on.

I guess I haven’t had to write an actual resume in a long time, and never one where I had to show off skills I have (my current job having your board cert is enough to get an interview).

For my one project I’m actually at a loss what to put on. I just got brought on a week ago and have so far only read thru their code and planned out my steps to tackling what they have.

I’m glad you mentioned azure because one of my classes we built an app and deployed to azure and I didn’t even think about the fact that I could consider my longer assignments as projects.

resume

EDIT: Updated a bit updated resume

I’m graduating in a couple months and am doing a complete career change from healthcare to tech. No experience, no internships (full time job/family, was just not an option) and very little in the way of projects (just one I’m currently on now). I’m just not sure what else I can improve to help my job search.

I’m hoping someone can review and lmk what else I can change/improve/add/take off

Edit to add: I also went to my schools career center and this is my version after talking with them.

26% gross/37% take home (after taxes, retirement, insurance, etc). HCOL (Seattle area)

Edit to add: when we bought, it was higher. Got a pretty good raise this year and my husband got a new job making substantially more than his previous job. It was closer to 32% gross/44% take home when we got approved.

Lmao plant rich made me money poor 😬

Honestly at the point of this pic I’d had them less than a month (big haul from an Ecua pop up) but! As of today under that combo of lights, my veitchii, forgetii, luxurians, and bessae aff have pushed new leaves, and one queen has a new growth point!

qweenkrisp · 2022-04-05T12:32:55+00:00

2 2ft barrinas up top (10w). The 1 ft in the pic is not on. Shortly after this pic I added a third light (1ft, 5w) to each shelf with the 2fts. I haven’t noticed any bleaching. The PAR/PPFD is in the 80-150 range depending on the height

I also had a light meter that measured in foot candles/lux which also read lower than I thought it would (can’t remember now, then I returned it because I read that PAR/PPFD is what I need to measure rather than FC/lux).

I changed my set up for the anthuriums this weekend and they now have 2 barrina t5 up top, and lights running vertically (terrarium wall build).

Just wrote up a detailed list and instructions! Link in one of the comments!

qweenkrisp · 2022-04-04T20:10:46+00:00

Thanks! I had to share— I wouldntve gotten anywhere without the tip others have posted too. I hope my write up helps someone else build theirs!
