DevLeague Resumes - Cohort 14
Raw
devleague-resumes-cohort-14.md

Your resume is the #1 thing that potential employers will see and will judge you by. You only have a few seconds to capture their attention. Regardless of how good of a programmer you are, you will be judged by your resume, your online presence, and by how visually appealying your published projects are. This is a CRITICAL part of getting employment.

Online Resume

For the first time, we will have you create an online resume. In the past, the resume was a Google Doc, and final form of submission was a PDF. From now on, we will have an online resume format that you can write in Markdown and publish to your github.io page, then a "Printed PDF" version will be saved from your Github.io page.

Resume Content Review Schedule

  • First Draft Due on your github.io page by Monday May 8, 6pm.
  • Slack Kelli with: (1) a Link to your page (2) best email to contact you.
  • Do not add any custom styles to your published page. This review is strictly for content.
  • Work with Lori Kohara ([email protected]) to finalize your resume content.
  • Get Lori's approval for your resume by Monday, May 15, 6pm.

Resume Style Review Schedule

  • Add custom styles to your resume. Start early, if you need extra time to polish your styles.
  • Share custom styled resume with Kelli as soon as possible (you may need to publish on a separate github page if your content-only resume is not approved by Lori yet.
  • At minimum, change the fonts and colors.
  • Be sure to create a print stylesheet. In printed format, your resume should fill 1 - 2 printed pages (no more than 2 pages unless you have a long history in a tech-related industry). We will be sending a PDF "print" version of your resumes to employers.
  • Get custom styled resume approved by Kelli, by Wednesday May 17.

Custom Styles

  • If you can style using only the output html generated from markdown, then great! However, if you find that it is necessary to add in additional divs or tags to accomplish styling, that is OK too. If you can figure out how to inject custom html within the template, great. Otherwise, you may have to add in additional markup to the output html file, and style the result for your Github.io page.
