wloo?

magic anvil
#

yea… not v hard to guess w the degree

drifting pier
#

why the math double major instead of comp sci major

#

just curious

magic anvil
#

started in math bba, wanted to be ib banker but realized that wasn’t for me, couldn’t switch into cs from math

#

doing co for the passion and stat for the employment ig lol

drifting pier
#

thats cool

#

math majors seem rlly interesting but idk how employable they are

paper lotus
#

Imma be real this probably one of the top resume layout ive seen

#

The not being a computer science/computer engineer major might cook you ngl

codesignal score worthless

paper lotus
#

I have friends who have the same qualifications as me. Only difference is their major

#

And i get way more looks then them

quaint steeple
#

you can just look at all the ppl posting their resumes here. most have cs degrees, higher degrees than me and you.

#

it doesnt really help you get the job at all

#

cs degree in current year is a bad investment imo

#

ill never financially(or mentally) recover lol

It helps you get in the door at least. Most companies wont even look at you unless you have a cs degree, let alone a college education.

Whats wrong with waterloo?

severe oyster
#

nothing is wrong

paper lotus
#

If a recruiter is looking at two resumes both with the same experiences and skills. Yet one is a college graduate in cs, and the other is self taught

#

Lets be real. College educated one is getting pushed way frequently then the self taught one is

severe oyster
#

just git good

paper lotus
#

it is a real situation?

#

What did I write that was “unrealistic”?

severe oyster
#

same experiences and skills

paper lotus
#

And thats unrealistic how?

#

If two candidates are applying for the same position

#

Most likely they will have similar skills?

#

If they are applying for a frontend role, most likely they will both have javascript as their best language

#

Both will likely to have a frontend experience elsewhere

#

there really isnt a huge difference between math / cs grad especially for waterloo

#

Who gives a fuck

#

You just hopped into this discussion and started chatting with nothing to add

severe oyster
#

sorry, im just being helpful to the person who posted this resume

paper lotus
#

I appreciate your unwanted input

paper lotus
#

Makes sense

quaint steeple
#

im sorry @magic anvil

paper lotus
#

And looking back at the logs

#

You have not once directed any of your messages towards the op

#

So i still dont understand why you want your unwanted input to be heard?

paper lotus
#

Wow

#

That was so informational and helpful

#

No constructive input, no advice. Just your shitty opinion

#

just curious lol

#

this is pretty solid are u mostly applying to canadian postings or just anywhere

#

feel like that might be the issue since the content is pretty solid, good metrics and layout

One thing I noticed is that your bullet points are kinda wordy
I've had people tell me to cut down on words for me
