Just gotta have a GitHub portfolio bro! :^)

found the thread, this is his cv: imgur.com/ov0lXb3

he also posted a year later that he considered kiling himself but pussed out and moved in with mom and dad, now he works at a painter for $19/hour

that resume is extremely low effort though, i'm not suprised at all he couldn't get call backs with that

not him but i think that's not a really healthy way of looking at things friend. what happens when you want to buy stuff that requires more than a tenner? do you ask your father to build you a pc or buy you a car let's say? i personally wouldn't be able to ask for stuff off of anyone.

>I'm surprised the suicide rate isn't >90%, honestly. It's just nuts.

Boomers were predominantly Christian so suicide was a sin. But thanks to the rise in atheism it will prompt more suicides in the future

>Spending ten-thousands on a worthless degree effectively bankrupting yourself in the process till you live out of a car in a fucking Walmart parking lot because you can't repay the $700 a month loan payments
The absolute state of Muttland. His problem isn't his CV, his problem is having made the brain dead decision to get a fucking CS degree.

Damn you must really like your parents. I think for me moving out was worth the financial gain. I could have stayed with my parents, but that would be hell. Instead Id rather have more own place so I can chill with my girl or any guests without having my parents over my shoulder.

>I actually can enjoy myself
You've not lived any other life, so you have really zero comparison other than "wagie memes".

Tell me that is not actually his CV. Tell me you just made that up as a joke.

that’s a dud programmer and any reasonable HR department knows to throw CVs like this in the trash

he never said he doesn't have a job. He said his parents can rely on him so I'd guess that he probably does have one. Moving out ASAP is a dumbass American idea, maybe some other places too but I never see europoors say that they have to deal with that shit.

plebbit name is in the OP, easily searchable to find the thread. what i left out is that is actually his "fixed resume" after he got some comments from people, the guy clearly is some sort of manchild

You disgusting waste of oxygen. I hope they do make you grow-up and kick your grown-ass out

>being such a worthless dreg of society that all you want to do in life is leech off our your parents
> using dumb-ass Jow Forums buzzwords as an excuse for being a piece of shit

i interpreted it wrong then, my bad.

Did he not do any projects in school?
Could he not be a tutor or TA?
Could he not find an internship?

If any user's resume looks like this, then you need to lie and say you're still in school then apply for internships.
You need to add school projects. You need fucking SOMETHING.

original thread said he didn't get along with his parents and hadn't talked to them in years. probably over some bullshit like not wanting to go to church or being gay, seems like those are always the two things that lead people to never talk to their parents

yeah he's just an idiot. even with what little he has on there, just a more professional resume format and a little tweaking could at least get him an interview at some shit company. that literally looks like he opened up microsoft word and hammered it out in two minutes

here's the whole thread if anyone's interested:

Wageslaves don't like to hear the truth lad. Their work is their entire identity and they see nothing wrong with it, they think everyone was born just to be an obedient little worker bee for some corporation until you no longer have any worth to your masters and you are allowed to die

It's actually fucking real. How do people like that even make it through uni?

as someone without a cs degree looking to get into the industry soon, this really gives me hope seeing that some of the cs grads are actually legit retarded

Whatever you do just don't get a CS, CE, EE or Webdev degree.

is your skin color brown or are you a member of a minority by any chance?
If thats the case then chances are you just got hired for diversity to begin with

Another STEM degree would be fine. But Pajeet with a masters from University of Hyperlabad will get hired over someone with a meme degree or no degree.

when I talk about leetcode Jow Forums calls me a shill.
But it works, and it's free (unless you want to prepare for a particular interview)

Should've quit After you found another place

Getting a CS degree was the best decision in my life though

>Applebee's
Christ almighty lol

>t. what is survivorship bias?
>I bought a lottery ticket and won a million so everyone should buy lottery tickets!
To say the field is overcrowded and overrun would be the understatement of the decade.

I'm graduating soon and I've been terrified I won't be able to find a job because I keep hearing horror stories of people applying to literally hundreds of places with no response.
But I'm starting to feel a little bit better now because it's obvious that this guy is retarded or at a minimum moderately autistic, with a shit resume and literally nothing to show.

In that thread, he said he "lost" all of the assignments he did in school. So what the fuck does he have to show employers?

His email host is blackmailed.

Found for normalfag.

sounds like a brat, anyone can deliver pizzas

well fuck...

>paying for a gym membership and a car instead of making rent
he prolly had a shitbox from before he was homeless and paying for gym membership to be able to use the bathroom there is actually pretty smart. also no way he'd suddenly be able to regularly pay rent if he just got rid of the car and gym membership

7 figures minimum and 8 to 5. Forgot the fucking pic.

You should ideally have some sort of internship experience before you graduate, but a non-autistic resume and some personal projects will probably get you in a couple of doors regardless

Even with that he should still be able to find a job easily.

I get the feeling in America everyone applies to the same 3 big companies who then get 10.000 applicants every month, while completely ignoring the thousands of small companies who need people but can't afford a big ad.

That depends entirely on where you live though. Here, cars is expensive as fuck, parking fees and gas prices are insane and you need all sorts of insurances and fees. As for gym membership, sure, if it's the shittiest local gym, I get it. But if it's a franchise gym where you pay membership for access to multiple locations, that can be crazy expensive. Sure, it wont cover your rent alone, but surely it will be around the same you pay for food per month.

DUDE, Just lie on your fucking CV. Pad that shit up? He applied to over 500 jobs and no response? What the fuck does he have to lose at this point.

Also this , hard to understand how family just lets you down like that.

>no degree
>no significant personal projects
>all I want to do is work with C and plain makefiles
What are my chances in today's job market?

Currently switching from another field and going to school. From what i can gather is be sociable, do some projects, don't worry about gpa, don't be afraid to start low. With this I'm going to go for qa/testing out of school to get my foot in the door.

>Even with that he should still be able to find a job easily.
If someone would send me that as his CV I'd actually do everything I can to blacklist him for that low effort shitpost he calls his CV. If he can't put in more effort than that in his CV how do you think that retard will perform at work?

Depends on what you mean by easy, but yeah, inevitably he would get hired somewhere, even if it was just as a junior or something. But yeah, I also have the same impression you have, and even here on Jow Forums Americans sincerely believe that if you're not living in Bay Area or Houston and making 150k for one of the FAANGs, you might as well just give up. There are plenty of jobs out there, and I'd rather work for a small startup than some corporate giant myself desu.

>Rise in atheism
Source

We're talking about a field with a huge shortage of workers.

Friendly reminder that the most secular in the countries in the world have the lowest suicide rates and lowest crime rates in the world.

>CS
>field with a huge shortage of workers
You fucking wot?

Except for the imported muzzies

nigga he's homeless, he doesn't fuckin drive his car anywhere, probably just has it parked in a walmart parking lot so he has a place to sleep, insurance is also paid once a year so that's not really a monthly issue and even if it runs out it's like the least of his problems. as for a gym membership being relatively expensive - sure, but it's a price worth paying cause it gives you access to a shower and a relatively clean bathroom. also definitely does not cost as much a months worth of food unless we're talking crazy expensive gym and very low amounts of cheapest food

Not the guy you are responding to, but it really is. You are making the mistake of believing that the only jobs are at one of the FAANGs.

I had three competing offers before I even graduated, and my school was shit and my grades were pretty average.

I think I'd rather sleep in a car than have to waste my time taking public transportation or biking.

Found the American.

i have a biology degree which is probably the softest possible thing you could consider STEM, but did at least require me to take shit like calculus 1 and 2 and physics. is this enough to put me above a complete degree-let or am i on the same level as an english major in the eyes of a hiring manager?

>insurance is also paid once a year
user, that's an option

I'd rather just move back in with my parents and use the car to drive to interviews desu.

What do you expect? Cars and gas are cheap while subsidized housing pretty much doesn't exist.

>I'd rather just move back in with my parents
i would assume that's not an option for him

He has to move the car or they'll tow it

>Cars and gas are cheap while subsidized housing pretty much doesn't exist.
The US really is opposite country.

>We're talking about a field with a huge shortage of workers.
We're talking about a field that says they have a huge shortage of workers (and so require more immigration), but mysteriously this doesn't manifest itself in the pay data. It's almost like they lie about this and gullible types like yourself fall for it.

alright, so he drives it round the block every once in a while and then parks it two spots away. still doesn't use much gas

The problem is everyone applies to FAANG or other big tech with no work experience. Go to LinkedIn and look at the jobs at big places. A software dev for places like starbucks has 1200 applicants in two weeks.

Other smaller companies or "nontrendy" industries like manufacturing have a hard time getting programmers

They aren't that secular anymore lmao

I agree. He needs to lie ASAP. Just started listing off technologies. Say he made some crud app in Spring and React or whatever. Who fucking cares. Just pad it up with SOMETHING

Found the Pajeets.

ok I lied, Google interviewed me, but obvs didn't make it. either you're The Chad Algorithm Leetcode master and you get in SV, or you fight with 1000 pajeets for Junior Dev at NoName Inc.

>>beautiful resume typeset in LaTeX clearly outlining my achievements
Post it

I'd have to black out half of it because you could easily dox me by googling the project descriptions. doesn't matter now. I got a cushy job in the government.

has he tried writing software that a business might find useful

>>beautiful resume typeset in LaTeX clearly outlining my achievements
unironically: the HR departments _may_ be averse to this kind of CV because they're brainlets or because their software scrapes docx files but not pdfs (which can be a bit painful)

So you did easily find a job then...

I'm not a pajeet nor do I encourage anyone to lie on their CV but this is desperate measures for someone who literally lives in a car in front of wallmart and shits in a gym.

>Cars and gas are cheap while subsidized housing pretty much doesn't exist.
There's plenty of subsidized housing, but of course, there's too high demand for it.

Here in Sweden all rents are *heavily* subsidized by price controls - which mean there's none available and you have to buy a overpriced apartment.

the fact that google even looked at your resume long enough to consider interviewing you means you could 100% get a job somewhere else, you clearly just have your standards too high. so you can either:

A) Maintain high standards and just accept it's going to take another 200 tries to get lucky

or

B) Lower your standards a bit and greatly increase your odds of success, then maybe try again for one of your high standard picks in two years when you have some experience

Some sites did ask for docx or even plain text, and I had a version for that. What I'm saying was it wasn't some low effort garbage like the subject of this thread.

Took 8 months and literally not one private sector job got back to me. So yeah, it did work out, but if I didn't live in a government city I'd be fucked.

In my experience docx scraping is really rare, HR and recruiters generally rely on importing directly from LinkedIn and/or manual online forms.

Also, I switched from a bland word CV template to a fancy Latex one I found on Jow Forums and was told after I got the job that it was one of the most cleanest and prettiest resumés the CTO had seen.

I don't want to move, so I was only applying locally. Just typical Junior Dev roles. Not big companies at all. I was told by other people since then that despite my city having a large high tech sector, entry level is incredibly brutal. Part of it is this city is highly educated compared to most.

It took you 8 months to apply to 50 jobs? Are you retarded or just lazy (or both?)

>their software scrapes docx files but not pdfs

there is no way this is true, don't know anybody even slightly competent who sends out a resume in docx format rather than a pdf, that just screams amateur hour for a company to even accept that, let alone scrape for it specifically

Oh, and the Google thing I just did for fun. Recruiter reached out to me.

What do you want me to do? Re-apply for the same posting three times? I would apply as soon as new opportunities came up. I actually pretty much got the govt job after 5, but it took 3 to get security clearance and all that crap.

Okay, fine. I agree with you.

>8 months
>50 applications
That's barely one and a half application a week, that's pretty lazy dude.

Stop applying for junior dev jobs. Any position asking for a junior dev also asks them to be a fullstack master and is basically a position made by some future micromanaging boss that wants to abuse you.

These

Some of these applications literally take 45 mins to 1 hour per to apply for. I have to register for some stupid fucking web portal. Answer 50 behavioural questions. Then the form fucks up and clears everything.

I did slow down near the end because I was getting so disheartened. I could have done better, sure.

I don't believe you, I believe you made minimal effort to find a job. See , if you really were desperate for a job, you'd send out at least one or two applications per day.
