yea… not v hard to guess w the degree
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
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
cs degree doesnt help at all so its no issue
It really does
hard disagree as a cs degree holder lol
As also a CS degree holder
I have friends who have the same qualifications as me. Only difference is their major
And i get way more looks then them
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
doesnt help that much cuz he at loo
It really does?
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.
loo?
waterloo
Whats wrong with waterloo?
nothing is wrong
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
not a real situation in real life
just git good
same experiences and skills
And thats unrealistic how?
If two candidates are applying for the same position
Most likely they will have similar skills?
im not sure how much better your chances are honestly
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
Um extremely better lmaooo
there really isnt a huge difference between math / cs grad especially for waterloo
do business graduates have job opportunities 😔
i dont fucking know, maybe the person who posted this resume?

I’m chatting to samejime
Not this persons resume
You just hopped into this discussion and started chatting with nothing to add
I appreciate your unwanted input
And yet youre replying to me?
Makes sense
im sorry @magic anvil
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?
Wow
That was so informational and helpful
No constructive input, no advice. Just your shitty opinion
yo do u pass behaviorals
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
i assume he is applying though waterlooworks, which is super fucked this season

huawei -> hft pipeline
Do you?
lol
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
thank you all for the input
yes, i have had people tell me to keep points within 2 lines as well
everything, mostly the better known companies for the us but applying to all sorts of companies/roles in Canada
icpc or bust atp man 😢
Cracked
which layout is it? @magic anvil link.
