Thank you very much! this is really good advise. Don't worry about me taking it the wrong way, you obviously have good intentions and good advise, nothing else matters :) I feel it's necessary to clarify that this is "Work experience", which here in Ireland is unpaid work young people(I'm 15) do before they get a job. Most people wouldn't put in this much effort, but I am because it will definitely be helpful when I apply for more a permanent jobs(As will your advise. Again, thank you.) Recent Projects Unfortunately not. Dates are a great idea, without a better metric, would you say it's worth keeping lines? Also do you think adding dates will make the hours spent redundant? Good point. What I was getting at was that the goal is to provide fine and coarse control, which actually sounds like a good way to describe it. How does "Currently creating an open-source, multiplayer-oriented game engine with the goal to provide both fine and coarse control over game development." sound? Also, "extensive help documentation. " manically laughing, I really need to get round to writing documentation. It's difficult to bother when you're the only one working on a project. It's pretty new right now, most of what make it different are planned features(I take it they won't care about planned features?) However, I did add "Reward system with separate scoring topics" as a bullet point under a "Current features" Technical Proficiencies I built my desktop, which I don't think is that impressive, so I don't plan on wording it as a big deal(Is that a good idea?) Education We don't use GEDs here, but we have a similar "Junior Cerificate" and "Leaving Certificate". The latter is more important, but people doing work experience wouldn't have finished it yet, so they would use the Junior Cert. I have not sat the Junor certificate as it is not nessaceary for college(If I want to go to college), and I also have not won any significant awards. That's why I'm having difficulty with this bit, would it be suspicious to not have an education section at all? Experience That's true, but we're actually referred to strictly as 'mentors' to keep it informal, much more fun that way. For the purpose of a CV, Mentor should serve okay, right? Coderdojo is very informal, you just show up at any class with a computer, say 'hi' and you will be shown what to do. As a mentor, sometimes I wish it were more formal when people show up 30 mins late, and I'm half way through my material. But it makes up for it with all the fun bits of being informal. /rant, I won't have student attrition stats on anything like that. I have prepared material, but only 10 5-7 page PDFs, would you say it's worth it? Didn't think about that. How does "Airsoft, Cycling, Computer Hardware, Competitive games(C&C, CS:GO), Space, Creative outlets(Programming, Sandbox games, Image editing)" sound?I don't love using lines of code here, do you have more braggy metrics you can use? (...)
In the summary for ragnarok "provide high and low levels tools for game development with low limitations" is a little odd wording (...)
- Anything else you can sell about Gazpacho? Why is it different, is it better then other pomodoro timers? Ect
Anything relevant from computer hardware you can move up here?
Can you make the home education bullet a little more formal? Do you have a GED? (...)
"Volunteer mentor" doesnt sound quite right, sounds like you're a teacher? If that's accurate I'd use it instead, mentor has a less formal label
Interests Wikipedia seems a little odd for the space bullet, I would drop that one personally
Omg you're 15. You are killing it buddy! I thought you were college age, this is a great resume for someone so young! would you say it's worth keeping lines? Also do you think adding dates will make the hours spent redundant? I think I might leave off hours spent and put a date range, but that is up to you, definitely works either way I'm being nitpicky but I would drop "the goal". you said creating so they know its a work in progress. Which provides sounds a little more focused and definitive you and me both buddy. its just an example of a kind of thing you can hype about your project. any software engineering things you do right (source control, documentation, testing, user feedback, ect) are good to add Your resume is going to guide how your interview goes. If you have super cool things you want them to ask you about, sure, include it! "Key differentiators include future fancy new thing one, two and three" is a fine bullet to add, just don't get super wordy You are totally fine here, I was trying to beef it up because I thought you were older. For someone your age this is very impressive. You can probably leave computer hardware in hobbies No, it seems totally fine to be where you are. Just include dates (2000 - present) so they understand you are still in school. Anything still in progress should have an ending date of present. Did you take a programming class in school? For the purpose of a CV, Mentor should serve okay, right? Sure, mentor is fine. Definitely can sell that! Able to teach a wide range of students with varying technical ability and programming background. Flexibility is a great skill in software! If you prepared it, great! Say you did that. Creative outlets(Programming, Sandbox games, Image editing)" sound? sounds great Really impressive. If you get to phone screen or interview let me know! I have some tips for how to handle those too.Recent Projects
