Recently, I've been trying to make the switch from games programming to embedded programming. (Out of necessity, not choice). To me, my experience in low-level engine and graphics programming on consoles is a perfect fit for embedded systems. However, I've found IT recruiters seem to be befuddled about the commonality between the two (i...
I often see job posting with a request for "resume, cover letter, and code samples" and this baffles me. If I am applying for job with little, or no prior knowledge of what types of projects I'm going to be working on, how am I to provide code samples? And even if I have an idea of the type of project, what are they REALLY looking for...
I’ve seen job listings recently for positions I’d like to apply for, the problem though is that they usually have a working knowledge of c++ listed as a job requirement. The jobs are doing .NET/C# development for internal applications but their retail applications are all c++. I don’t have experience in c/c++ and am wondering what exactl...
Hi, I'm using Facebook Connect for the iPhone in one of our applications. When the user logs in using FBLoginDialog, we pass the iPhone's session_secret to the server and our server then has access to all of facebook's functionality. However, when we use [session resume], even though it returns true, [session isConnected] returns true ...
What are some things that should be on a software developers resume? I'll be graduating in December and I am starting to look for jobs now and I wonder how I can beef up the standard resume. Here is what I have so far (and in this order). Name Contact information Objective Education Relevant experience Technical skills Programming L...
I have a jQuery animation that animates the 'scrollLeft' on a container to produce a kind of 'marquee' effect. I have it set up so on mouse-over of the container it stops the animation, and on mouse-leave, it resumes. $(banksContainer).mouseover(function() { $(banksContainer).stop(false); }); $(banksContainer).mouseleave(function(...
Does anyone can give me some reference for web based resume parsing tools, no matter it's free or commercial? I've searched some tools for resume parsing, but most of them are desktop applications. I need a tool which is web based, or can provide web service interface that it can be integrated into web forms. Thanks a lot! ...

I'm writing a PHP script that allows the user to download a file. Basically the idea is to prevent the file being downloaded more than X times, since it is paid content, and the link should not be spread around. Since the files will be pretty large, it should be good to implement resuming. I've read the standard, but it's pretty long an...
I have a distributed C++ application, which is composed of 4 processes spread on 2 machines. One of the applications serves as "control center" for the rest of the applications. I want to be able to save the current state to a file and load it again later. What exactly is a "state" is defined separately by each module in the system. Wh...
I have done a little undergrad research with a professor at my school but did not get a paper published. can I put this as research experience on my resume? if yes how should I write it? ...
Like many other's I began programming at an early age. I started when I was 11 and I learned C when I was 14 (now 26). While most of what I did were games just to entertain myself I did everything from low level 2D graphics, and binary I/O, to interfacing with free API's, custom file systems, audio, 3D animations, OpenGL, web sites, et...
In that internship term, I have dealt with BLAS libraries from NSF and Intel Math Kernel Library. Continuing that internship term into a research thesis project, I have the chance of learning to use CuBLAS library from nVidia CUDA API. How would you describe about the APIs that you have used in a resume, given that it would be helpful to...
I have 3 different Activities that user navigates between in no particular order. My goal it twofold: When user switches to something else when app is resumed I want to start where user left even if app was terminated When last activity is resumed I want to restore it to the last viewed state (this one I think I have a pretty good idea...
I like my résumé clean and uncluttered; with a simple list of technical skills and achievements. Why do recruiters ask me to fill my résumé with technical jargon? Don't they know that this inherently make résumés unsightly to read for employers? Or do they know something that I don't? ...
As I was typing my curriculum vitae, I was wondering if it was good idea to include my GPA. I'm currently in software engineering and have a 4.0 GPA, but don't like mentioning it too much as I fear people might see this as bragging... But at the same time, I feel like it is something that could help me land a job (or an interview, at l...
I'm nearing completion of my programming degree and will be getting an internship through my school early next calendar year. Up to this point I have had pretty much no programming experience out there in the real world, so my resume will hardly be impressive. I have, however, been working on a helper utility for an obscure application ...
Hi, Recently, I am giving many interviews as Software Engineer, am pretty much comfortable with the technology side when it comes to answering questions like What are your Strength and What are your weakness, I have kind of hard time giving them answers. So my question is how can we handle questions like : What are your Strengths ?...
Two (somewhat separate) questions I have are: Is it a good approach to put performance optimization as a separate skill-set backed up by line items (instead of just 2 words in "skills")? Do the items i put as examples below sound like useful/braggable data to distinguish oneself to a hiring technical manager (whether I put them on a r...
I am at the last year of my scholar curriculum (Computer Science Engineering, a pretty broad title but yes, there is no specialization at my university). I now wish to make my profile available online for job recruiting purposes. I am aspiring for an international career (I am French, but I've studied quite a lot abroad and currently li...
