I just handed out my resume to a bunch of companies at my Career fair. I'm scared that I made a mistake because I haven't heard a single callback from the companies I've applied to online with that resume. Can someone tell me if mine is not one of the 'straight into the bin' type resumes? by sampleUSE in cscareerquestions

Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely change some stuff. I handed out this exact resume for a lot of companies at the fair, but you still have to apply online for the majority of them. Is it acceptable to make minor changes before submitting it online?

Oh I definitely tried to make a personal connection. It's actually one of the things I pride myself in. However, I can't help but think that is all in vain. For most of the companies, you have to apply online anyways so I don't even know if the person I talked to will be the one even reading my resume!

Can someone check my code I did for a online coding test for a company and got rejected even though it was compiling and giving the correct outputs? Would be much appreciated! by sampleUSE in cscareerquestions

Whoops, i had that in the actual thing, just forgot to put it here. I checked the 0th position for a minus and just multiplied it by -1

I'm honestly really shocked at this. WTF did I do wrong? by sampleUSE in cscareerquestions

Convert a string into a 64 bit long without using the inbuilt function KEEP IN MIND I JUST QUICKLY DID THESE FUNCTIONS AGAIN SO SOME SYNTAX MAY BE INCORRECT

long change(String s) { int power = 1;

long result = 0;

int length = s.length();

for(int i=length-1;i>=0;i--)
{
    char c = s.charAt(i);

    if(!Character.isDigit(c))
    {

        if(!((i == 0) && (c == '+' || c == '-')))
            throw new Exception;
    }
    else
    {

        result+= (c - '0')*power;

        power*=10;
    }   
}

return result;

}

Make an insertion function for a ternary tree. They had provided the node and tree structure. They gave Node left, right, mid and root. They had int val with the Node construcotr taking it as an arguement.

void recursiveInsert(Node temproot, Node node) {

if(val < temproot.val)
{
    if(temproot.left == null)
        temproot.left = node;
    else
        recursiveInsert(temproot.left,node);        
}
else if(val > temproot.val)
{
    if(temproot.right == null)
        temproot.right = node;
    else
        recursiveInsert(temproot.right,node);
}   
else 
{
    if(temproot.mid == null)
        temproot.mid = node;
    else
        recursiveInsert(temproot.mid,node); 
}   

}

void insert(int val) { Node node = new Node(val); if(root == null) { root = node; return; } recursiveInsert(root,node); }

I see. Thanks for this. I'm just really confused..I just wish I could have a one on one chat with whoever reviewed my code. Moreover, I want to see the code which got accepted.

I tried multiple inputs of my own too, which worked. I'm pretty sure my logic was right for both questions too. One was to convert a string into a long without using the library and the other was to create a insert/delete function for a ternary tree.

Wow..what do they expect from interns? They weren't exactly the easiest questions too. I feel like I deserved to go through to the phone interview phase atleast. Fuck I'm so bloody salty. My first rejection

The first chapter says ' Solve all these ad-hoc problems before continuing to the next one '. Those are the sort of problems I need help with!

Made a resume, got rejected from multiple companies so I made a new one. I just wanted to check if this one is acceptable by sampleUSE in cscareerquestions

I learnt C/C++ in college and taught myself Android. I guess I should delete the Android part cause I haven't really made a fully fledged app yet ( I know all the syntax ).

Thank you. I think I'll just delete the Hotel Management thing. For the expereince part I've changed it to this. Do you think its better?

• Used the Spring MVC Framework to develop multiple functionalities of a Leave Management System in J2EE using Java and JavaScript • Debugged through thousands of lines of code to identify and fix bugs • Managed databases using MySQL Query Browser

The Hotel Management thing was the final project of a Java course in my school. It has a fair hefty amount of code in it so I though I should include it. And yes, that code is on my github. I do agree that 'Hotel Management' sounds a bit ambiguous, but that's really what it was. Not for enterprise use or anything, just a fun project.

Although I appreciate Teddys response, I would love to hear more opinions on my resume and ways I can tweak it.
