[unique thorn]

why are your languages lacking but you use other ones

your languages make u look like pure frontend

[leaden viper]

Well the skills section is for things you're well versed in, no? Like I've used python for a work project but I don't want to be grilled on it so I leave it out of my skills section.

But at least able to answer interview questions on it right?

i got burned pretty bad once too. I put python and sql on my skills section and the interviewer started grilling me on flask and saying it was fair game since python + sql = backend server + linux + devops.

evertz

hes a manager at amazon now, so god help them 😹

fr

hes the reason i only put shit im 100% on in my skills section

so just like OP i only have JS and java in my skills section

yeah ill probably have to reconsider

still moving past the PTSD 😔

[tired yacht]

if uve worked with it you should be able to answer questions on it no ?

its not like ur gonna get grilled on like

idk the data structure behind a function or another data structure in a certain lang

maybe by quants

hi

👋

[leaden viper]

hi

wheres my hug?

[tired yacht]

atrocious skills section goddamn

is this ur real resume ? @vagrant dagger

or were u just trolling for juda

[tired yacht]

LOL

still a solid resume

personally idt there's value in repeating words in skills section for the sake of ats (theyre already mentioned in resume/bullets) but its useful for a viewer to easily gauge if theyre looking for a certain lang

speciifcally for languages

What I mean is that lets say for a 4 month internship I used Python for a single isolated project. I'll mention on my resume what I used to complete the project, but I don't remember any of the syntax, let alone the fundamentals. I googled the syntax every time i needed to make a change

[tired yacht]

ah true

[tired yacht]

well

i think this is the level of competency most people are at

if you dont actively use a lanaguage

youre not going to have the syntax or niches off the top of ur head

but youve used it before you can "pick it back up" way faster than someone who hasnt

you also know how data flows through the language, libraries it uses and their functionality, etc

my personal take

cus like

i havent used python in like 5 months

[leaden viper]

i agree, idk if the hiring managers agree when they want me to solve leetcode mediums only in that particular language

[tired yacht]

my internship is in java and i dont code much outside of work

but im pretty confident that i can do a python internship

[tired yacht]

nah thats rare

that wont happen you can generally choose

if you're forced to itll usually be by a quant, and itll be c++, python, or java

[leaden viper]

nah that evertz manager gave me the whole "just because ive heard of heart surgery doesnt mean i can do it. dont put stuff on your resume you cant work with"

[tired yacht]

🤷‍♀️

whatever u wanna do gang

i 🫶 having a full skills section knowing that i can employ those skills in a production setting, as expected

kk

nah i wasnt roasting i was jusst wondering since i rarely see resumes with that little content in skills

id suggest putting everything you've worked with enough that you could pick it up again comfortably in skills

also adding a line for keyword dumping (ats) called concepts

you can find plenty examples floating around ni the resume forum

and i can show u mine as well if u need

[leaden viper]

ill do it, but i want another hug if they humiliate me again

i told him we should end the interview early. didnt feel like railed any further

he had that 1000 yard stare

[tired yacht]

not thats super high ev

you can tinker with the formatting and stuff like turning ur resume into all one liners and making it less technical to appeal to a non technical reader (recruiters) but i think concepts section will be most useful to u
