Work on something you like that has some theory in it which later you can explain in the interview and show you know stuff.

For example : I built couple of services in my house, all had to talk to know each other and using a secure methods. So after finishing the services, I programmed a discovery service on my own with multicast and sort of ssl.

Had a lot of fun to talk about it in the interviews and explain how it all works.

Wow. I’m interested in talking about it some more

Personal projects are a good chance to show your breadth of skills. They typically can't be big enough to show depth

IE: build an API and a UI that are in integrated, showing front end and middleware skill.

Deploy those 3 services (DB included) into AWS or GCP, showing some DevOps skills as well

OP, no. That's totally fine. Like FSD1 said, if you can get it working, it doesn't really matter how you figured it out. We all learn from each other.

That depends entirely upon what projects you've worked on. Have you taken on websites? Gaming AI? Mobile applications? SaaS? There's plenty to choose from if you've been around and have taken on a variety of work.

I’m new - so far I’ve made a wed app that uses twitters api, a script that enables security tokens on Mac, a web app that shows me what song is playing and now a game. So far I feel python is of more interest to me.

Never lie about projects on your resume. That will always be up to you what to put in there but never put in a fictitious project there. Good luck!

If I ask you about it, I'll know if it's fake.

Sincerely, someone who's caught a lot of people lying in interviews

That depends. What projects have you worked on? Make sure you had a particular role in that project. Hope this helps

They’re my own that I worked on by myself

Trying to figure out how to rewrite my resume to get into an entry level PR position after 7 years as a Paralegal/Legal Secretary. My undergraduate major is in Communications already, but I was in the legal field as part of the family business. I know some core skills transfer over such as writing, analyzing and researching, but how do I make those skills marketable in a PR setting?

I'm also taking some Coursera classes relating to PR/Social Media marketing to refresh my memory from college.

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

How do you feel about getting homework for jobs?

We're altering our interview process to eliminate a homework assignment we give to candidates. It's about 2 hours of varying difficulty questions.

The VP wants to replace it with a 1 hour pair programming exercise because he thinks experienced candidates won't bother with homework. A lot of my experienced colleagues would be fine with the homework as long as it was within reason.

What's the consensus? Homework or nah?

Has anyone read any interesting books on how to approach QA?

On my team, software engineers end up creating test cases by writing up step-by-step guides for each ticket. QA employees follow these and innovate them where they can - but they ultimately need SEs to provide them A LOT.

This process seems dumb - the test cases disappear after the ticket is completed and I feel like QA isn't much of a professional role if they just follow guides provided to them.

Is there a better way?
