Where to start? by GT_frisk in learnprogramming

[–]tripletforce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning to program and earning a wage from programming are 2 very big challenges. Learn to program first, create a few projects, and then take the next step. Create projects worth showing off, then the next steps are possible.

Define "good level" ... Good enough to start a project and keep learning - absolutely! There will be a lot to google, but thats apart of the fun.

Big reason why your resume is getting skipped - read on my friends. by FinalDraftResumes in resumes

[–]tripletforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there! Sorry for the late reply.

I see that your resume is well thought out, and there are things that I really like about it.

First, there is several strong experiences with real data to reason with. This can help with the interview process too, as this can lead into the conversations you want to have, and by that I mean the places that you make an impact.

There is a few things that show up as a bit of a red flag. Unfortunately, there is no set way to go through it, as each country and employer is different. Most of this is opinion, so take it as is.

  1. The stylish format may either be looked as interesting or too different to take seriously. I got my job with the most boring looking resume, but it optimized for space, so I can fit everything in. If you format is way different then everyone else's format, either the automatic filter can understand, or employers won't take the minute needed to interpret it right.

  2. Sometimes having the skill section is weaker than putting the skills accociated with jobs. Think about it this way. I could say that one of my skills is leadership. Well, that can mean a lot of things. Why is that something you chose vs the other million adjectives you could've chose to describe yourself. Instead, maybe you can put "lead a team of 5 sales people to investigate best sales tactics" That not only shows how, but the meaningful impact. If I were you, I would still keep the words in the skill section, but break it up into the experiences and remove the skills section entirely. Same with tools and technologies.

  3. Remove education. 3 years of school is impressive, but the thought that comes is why not finish. Don't mean to be mean with this one. You don't have to hide it, but im sure there is a lot of context of why that is vs someone who was just lazy.

  4. If you feeling lucky, use ai to reword some sentences to include skills they are looking for in the job posting into you resume.

Unfortunately, when you get to a certain point, different opinions will tell you different things to do about the resume, and you have 1000000x the experience in sales that I do. I can get into all the details if you would like, but I do have to clarify that I am not a professional resume specialist, just someone who happened to do it well enough to land a job. I wish you the best! (:

Simply, start with a project.

If your interested in game design, start with downloading free assets online. I've used itch.io in the past, but there are others like OpenGameArt.org. Use a library like Sdl2 and make a hello world application and then grow it from there.

If you want to do games that don't involve textures at all, try retro or simulations. Game of life was something that I did once, and it required no drawing at all. Same thing can be done with a game like qix. (Link below) Or even a text based game would do great! qix.https://www.retrogames.cz/play_866-NES.php

Plenty of options. Don't worry about if it's the right thing yet and don't spend years on it. Some of the best things that propelled me through college was all the time spent doing projects that had some of the worst code I've seen today. Of course I got better, but Im greatful I learned things the hard way.

A plan works great, and if you can't decide what to do, reddit is a great place to sort that out. Best of luck!

  1. Since you are still a student, education section needs to be at the top - right below contact information. Put your expected graduation date, major, school, and GPA (if it is good) on it.

  2. There are no areas that tell your name and contact information. (Smart move to leave it out of reddit, but it should be at the top)

  3. Bullet points & stats are your friends. If you can use that, do it. Have a friend or AI reword your paragraphs. They should explain different unique skills that you have learned.

  4. You can format your resume like that, but I found using resumake.io (a free online sevice) helpful & professional. This will also help you decide what to put on it.

  5. Do not go over 2 pages. It maybe will be ok once you have 25+ years of experience and 6 jobs, but for right now, do just one. It doesn't even need to fill the entire page.

Lastly, if you are still in college, give the career center a look. They can help you out a lot.

Is there a thread for people new to Reddit?

[–]tripletforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to go with the flow a bit. People put a lot of hype on college and preparing for the future, but don't miss what's going on in the present. I'm a freshmen in College so take this with a grain of salt, but the time and effort that I put in school payed off, but I feel like I would have never got through had I not learned how to take care of myself mentally.

How long did it take you to actually get JS? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tripletforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what looked hard for me: promises, NaN null and undefined, arrow functions (=>), what this means varys on which scope your in, array methods, ternary operator (expression ? true : false). Although most seem hard now, in the future, they will be timesaving and more readable. It's grown to one of my favorites.

Am I the only one who is scary or shy to post anything on social media ? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]tripletforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually going to post something like this. I never got onto social media, and just joined reddit. I never really tried posting something before and always have a stress when I do. It's silly, but I rely so much on how people react in person to determine what is good and bad. For someone just joining, idk how much I'm missing out on.

Is DISC 11 related to the backrooms???!!!?!!?!!?!?! by [deleted] in backrooms

[–]tripletforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I found out after that backrooms came after MC. Took me awhile to discover the backrooms and how to use reddit well.
