Great video codebagel! I'm only 16 and still learning to program. Even though I'm not going to apply for a tech job any time soon I still like your videos and I'll remember this one for the future 😄

[@Codebagel]

Thanks so much! Good for you for starting early - you’ll be so ahead by the time you’re ready to start applying for jobs. But make sure not to grind tooo hard - you have a long working career ahead of you, keep some time to enjoy the fun moments in life too :)

Great video man!

[@Codebagel]

Thanks so much!

[@user-qv7sw8zk2r]

Omg, thanks man for this video! That really helps. I was always wondering how this template is called

[@Eurotool]

Thank you. What program do you use for making your graphics and videos?

[@nathanyao3525]

Thank you for this video. What are some other things you would put in 'Concepts' section under 'Technical Skills' besides object-oriented design and data structures and algorithms? Also, would you instead suggest putting these things in a 'Courses' section under 'Education'?

[@Codebagel]

A courses section under education can be an awesome idea if you have applicable courses! I personally choose to move them to the technical skills section because most of my knowledge was self-taught, but go ahead and add a courses section under education if that’s more accurate for you. As for other things to add, I would tailor it to the job posting. If the job posting asks for familiarity with artificial intelligence, add it here. If it asks for familiarity with cloud computing, add it here. (assuming you actually have these skills)

[@nathanyao3525]

@@Codebagel thanks!

[@dannynguyen7911]

If I have no work experience (I do have a part-time job listed but not software engineering), should I move that section towards the bottom and move skills and projects towards the top? Or keep as is?

[@Codebagel]

You can move projects up if they’re really stand-out, but usually it doesn’t matter.

[@kirkkohd4883]

Quantified data shows that recruiters / hiring managers look at a resume for approximately 6 seconds. However, i think in reality its along the lines of 30-60 seconds. Naturally, people read resumes starting from the top, So if i theoretically have 6 seconds to catch their attention, why wouldnt i better utilize that space with my most relevant information such as a good summary section instead of education "the least important part" ? Not saying its wrong, just looking for understanding.

[@zxenon_]

That's what I think as well. A short summary and next after the work history. Education can come maybe just before the end (tech skills)

pls do Video for 2023
