I've worked in cyber security for almost a decade. I'm about to finish my software development degree. I can see how I can use some of the advice in your video to make a resume, but what aspects of my previous work should I focus on including? Familiarity with enterprise systems? Proficiency with multiple operating systems?

@NitrixTech

2 жыл бұрын

I think it really depends on what job you are applying to. It might be easier to get a job if you are familiar with the systems they use. As for OSes, proficieny with linux is highy desirable but I would say it is mostly expected for developers.

Say you are in your last semester in school with few side projects. Would it be worth pumping out many different semi-simple projects to beef up that section or would it be better to focus on fewer, more complex projects?

@NitrixTech

2 жыл бұрын

I definitely think fewer more complex projects personally! I'd be looking for a differentiating factor and that would usually be a more involved project

I essentially *_JUST_* started my CS program at my school (first full semester), and I really don't have any solid coding or computer experience prior to my Intro to Programming class, aside from coding very simple Python and C++ programs. Should I squeeze the life out of my resume and "create" experience by scraping up any remotely transferable skills from previous jobs, plus the novice programming projects, or should I generalize my resume? Right now, since I'm basically doing a degree shift with no prior work or school experience, I will just be developing this newly targeted resume for events like hackathons internship opportunities. Thanks for the video and any advice you could give.

@NitrixTech

2 жыл бұрын

I'd say if you're targetting CS opportunities, then include any coding projects you do have along with previous jobs that might showcase some unique transferable skills. And then in the meantime, really focus on learning more on your own time and working on some larger more unique projects. It might be difficult to get many opportunities in your first summer, but you have a TON of time before your second summer to work on some super impressive projects and build a killer resume. Hope this helps!

I am a freshman and I have 16 AP credit for Math and Physics. Should I write this in my resume for freshman summer internship? Will it be helpful for impressing recruiters?

@NitrixTech

2 жыл бұрын

From my personal experience, it is unlikely to impress recruiters since it is not very tangible knowledge, or applicable to very many jobs, unless it's some sort of research positron

What if you dont have any projects yet either?

Usually, a lot of the internships I'm applying for are in the Summer. I currently have experience with mobile development (android, created a lot of apps), Java (not complete data structures, but sorting), some C, and some hackathons. I also will be learning C++, currently learning HTML/CSS (Javascript after), and will be trying to learn data structures. (by the start of the summer). Do you have any recommendations for whether I should include stuff I haven't learned in my resume? I know I will have these done by the summer. I want to include it, but resume/applications are due sometime this Fall, and I'm not completely finished.

Honestly depends on the item but in general, people won't care if you know 10 languages but rather how well you know your best one! It's hard to describe projects in detail which you haven't created yet, but if you're working on it and will have it done, I think it's fine

Should I write on my resume that I'm a student in computer science?

Hey! Howestly, it's tough to say, I don't know how to country where you are from works. In general here, it is much easier to get a job with a computer science degree and so although that's not what you want to here, I would recommend trying very hard to finish it. However, you can also try to get an internship and then convert that internship into an immediate full time job, if the employer is willing to hire you with no degree. Best of luck to you!

What are you views on cover letters?

@NitrixTech

3 жыл бұрын

I think it really depends on the company and your situation. Many modern tech companies, especially large ones prefer no cover letter as they don't have time to read through them. Older, more traditional companies might expect a cover letter. If you have something interesting to say, or you need space to explain a gap in your resume (for example, you need to explain why you're a great candidate even though you're missing one of the qualifications), then a cover letter might be very useful. But if you plan to simply restate what's on your resume, it might be best to omit it.
