Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t want you sharing salary information with your coworkers. I have read stories about how these documents & information can sometimes get leaked & shared on the web which is pretty sketch.
TIL about “functional résumés” which it appears are usually meant to cover up your lack of work experience, but I like the idea of covering up a lot of my specific history as it is the skills that should matter more, no? Do you give out all of your info?
:D
I went to a startup bootcamp years ago and I quite liked it - I’ve learned a lot about my strenghts and weaknesses and thought about what I actually want to do in my life.
The startup methodology part was really boring though and didn’t align with my values at all, so I just ignored the instructions and did my own thing.
Ah that sounds interesting, I took a full stack web development one. We just blazed through the fundamentals of JS before landing on MERN architecture the last couple weeks of class, my class of 28 was reduced to 15 by the halfway point, then 10 by the end.
I certainly dont feel ready for the field by any means but I’m still yet to send it. I would honestly consider a class over managing a freelance business, but I’d be afraid it would pan out how yours did
