We've got another cold one here in DC this evening. And it's not being helped by the fact that the vent in our apartment is covered because our landlord is renovating our kitchen. Don't get me wrong. This is a good thing, getting a new kitchen.

It's just having the fridge in the living room that's throwing me off a bit.

But who am I kidding? This is actually pretty cool. This evening, I made a sandwich and refilled my glass of water all from the seat next to my couch.

That's what I'm up to tonight. What are you doing?

If it wasn't a nice Stainless Steel fridge, I'd say you should drill some taps in the side of that thing and keep it there.

But that’s because the 15 feet from my couch to my kegerator is occasionally 15 feet too many. =)

Trying to think of stuff to put on my resume.

I haven’t done anything noteworthy since graduating from high school other than going to college. I don’t think my experience of working at McDonalds will count for much.

As for the fridge, I have a mini fridge in my room in my apartment at school, at I have decided it will be in every bedroom I have from now until I die in my 30’s from being a fatass caused by having a fridge in your bedroom.

well depends on the employer

some like 1 page, some more

I just applied for army jag..10 page of pure awesomeness

also put in community service, groups, activities, etc. normally good discussion starters

by Chiefshero on Jan 4, 2012 9:23 PM CST up reply actions  

For me, most of the noteworthy stuff happened in high school.

I’m hoping people still find it impressive.

How the hell did you get a 10 page resume? I’m struggling with one.

by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 4, 2012 9:28 PM CST up reply actions  

I wrote descriptions

for example

I was a prosecutor in law school so I said
—argued 4th amendment
5th amendment
8th amendment
14th amendment
participated in trials
etc

in my opinion Do not mention high school unless it’s related
i.e. army=high school football

but always mention community service. People love that stuff

by Chiefshero on Jan 4, 2012 9:30 PM CST up reply actions  

I know that when our company gets a 4-5 page resume, it's bothersome.

Most of the time, it’s expounding on the same things over and over, rather than being focused on the aspects of each that apply to the job posted.

Now, the Army’s selection process is much different than ours, I’m sure, but short, sweet, and specific typically gets the job done, in my experience.

What's your opinion on high school stuff?

Looking back, I did some really impressive things in high school like winning multiple math contests and going to Missouri Scholars Academy (which they said accepts only the top 1/2 of the top 1%), but it’s not directly related, and it was a while ago. But since I’m going to have to learn a bit, I feel that it shows that I’m smart enough to learn the necessary things quickly and be able to understand it enough to be effective.

by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 4, 2012 9:35 PM CST up reply actions  

You're close enough to where that's semi-pertinent.

But don’t focus on it too much. In a couple more years, it doesn’t come off so hot.

That's the problem.

The only programming languages I know are stuff like Matlab.

I’m not too familiar with Java or C or others that seem to be used when actually programming things.It shouldn’t be too tough to learn them, it’s just a matter of taking the time to do it.

by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 4, 2012 9:30 PM CST up reply actions  

Also it would be good to list things you have programmed or work accomplished.

Your resume should list relevant education, experience, but really focus on your cover letter, that is how you sell yourself.

by Chiefshero on Jan 4, 2012 9:33 PM CST up reply actions  

If it's a programming job, that's usually pretty laughable, if I'm honest.

We’ve got something on the market right now that is looking for some pretty heavy knowledge on various programming languages and the ability to create low level drivers. We’ve had people submit the Office Suite as their computer knowledge (to be fair, that’s all they put in that section), and their resumes are thrown out.

I've heard that a large proportion of people who apply to programming jobs can't actually program.

Apparently some people with Masters in computer science have no actual programming ability. They said that if you know recursion and iteration you’re better than most applicants, which I couldn’t believe.

probably because college is no longer "college"

like how law school teaches you all this crap but when it’s time to do it for real…I’m like WTF!!!!!!

by Chiefshero on Jan 4, 2012 9:42 PM CST up reply actions  

And that might be the case in some spots.

We’re looking for someone to walk in and work, not learn. Nobody is going to know EXACTLY what we’re doing (we’re a circuit level design company, so our stuff is fairly proprietary), but at the same time, we won’t have time to lay the foundation.

However, we’re not looking for someone straight out of college, so that changes things.

i found the best way to get a job is via interning. No pay but at least you get experience

I've considered interning.

Since I graduated from college a year early, I feel that I have a year to do stuff other than working without feeling too guilty about living with my parents.

by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 4, 2012 9:46 PM CST up reply actions  

Not necessarily true.

Lots of internships pay in engineering and comp sci fields. They’ll pay a little bit to show you the ropes, then bump you up when you’re comfortable.

by KaloPhoenix on Jan 4, 2012 9:46 PM CST up reply actions  

I was asking more about what the comp sci job was looking for.

But I assume it’s Java/C. Those aren’t difficult to learn. I didn’t know if it was GTK or DirectFB, which is a little different.

Work in those pertinent languages. Challenge yourself, and package the pertinent applications for them so their programmers can see habits, execution, and the like. You can find out a lot by looking at someone’s code and how they approach a situation.

going to law school is like learning how to ride a bike

you have to learn differently than you did in undergrad

you need to live, breathe, and eat law. Have fun reading instead of spending time with your family and friends

you should spend 80+ hours a week studying/attending classes

have fun waking up at 8 am on saturday/sunday to make outlines

Thanks

May you also find the path to freedom from Texas.

You realize that KU and MU were the only remaining charter Big 8 members? Nebraska wasn’t one, they dropped out a year or two back in the day.

Called out an entire family of tourists in a parking lot today

a snot nosed teen was standing outside of his car in a parking space and got mad that I parked in the parking space he was standing in, said something stupid and probably didn’t think I’d do anything about it. Needless to say the guy cowered and probably won’t be doing that any time soon.

How stupid is that though? You’re standing in a place designated to cars and you get mad when someone wants to park there? It’s like walking in to a burger shop and being mad they sell burgers there. Fuck new school man

Somehow, I knew I’d get that reaction.

It was the one that inspired me to comment that his throws are so inaccurate, they couldn’t even be intercepted. If it was just poorly thrown, it would have been an easy pick. But it was so terribly thrown, even Lewis couldn’t get to it.
