7/30 I need a job too. http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~aspolito/res3.txt
\_ Drop all the pre-graduation crap. Also, "company ran out of
money"?! That doesn't make you look like a genius since you
joined a dying company. Objective is silly. Just say, "Looking
for XXXXXX position at small startup company".
\_ Um, what's wrong with pre-graduation achievement?
\_ Nothing in particular but it shows lack of experience to
put pre-grad stuff on. Unless your academic work was
something really stellar, it only highlights lack of
industry experience.
\_ objectives suck. The company ran out of money is there because
I've been asked way to many times "Why are you leaving Spheresoft
so soon?" It looks bad that I didn't even last a year. Oh
people do join companies that die soon after. It happens.
To smart people even. I joined right when they peaked. (They
were doing real well, added 4 people (which was a third of the
company) and were trying to do sometihng new. They gambled
and lost. So did I. Oh and umm, some of that "pre-graduation
crap" is pretty important. -aspo
\_ Ok, whatever. I'm sure you're perfectly right about all
\_ if you need to ask, you don't know
\_ yer mom
of everything at all times and don't need advice.
\_ As someone who has hired many people based on their
resumes, for the field aspolito is in, I will say
that aspolito is correct. -blojo
\_ What field is that? Palm Pilot app coder?
\_ yes, let's call "embedded software developers"
palm pilot coders.
\_ Proof is in the pudding, baby. Why can't
he get a job?
\_ Because he's in new york.
\_ cause I just started looking and I'm already
getting offers at places in New York for
places that I would like to work at if I
don't relocate so if I want to move back to
the BA I gotta start looking fast. -aspo
\_ Stay in NY. We'll all be happier that
way. |
