For those looking for a project manager or actually wondering what that actually means, click here for an assay.
Welcome to my resume website. Why a website and not a simple piece of paper with my resume on it?
- I’m stubborn – I know it is bad form to present a huge and complicated resume. It will scare those head-hunters away. Exactly, that is what I want, because I’m interested in those people, who are seriously looking for an all-round specialist like me.
- I want the complete resume presented to avoid senseless questions and the interesting thing of such online resume is that I can add the personal touch – give more (background) information about the issues involved.
- This resume is using a website, generated by WordPress, and that enables us to interact, ask questions and place remarks.
- And please do so in this public setting, because others might have the same questions or issues and once it is posted and replied here, they can save time.
- Another reason is for this website is search engine optimization. That means more people see this resume
- And finally, the proof of concept. This website is created within 20 minutes to get all the technical stuff done and from that moment it was only adding the content and fine-tuning.
- And finally, you can have my one-page resume here.
Before you continue here, I would like to make a few things clear with you.
- If you are considering to hire (me as) a simple programmer, please leave this site
- I refuse to undergo one of those funny, silly tests, ‘everyone‘ seems to use to “… determine if the applicant is knowledgeable”.
- A programmer is not a coder (anymore), and those silly tests are about coding and that is really the least of what makes a programmer.A coder is the one, who types in the code of a program. A developer is making the program design and decides on the program strategy. A program-designer is the one, who designs the program(s).
- A manager who allows such tests … well, what do you think?
- A programmer is not a coder (anymore), and those silly tests are about coding and that is really the least of what makes a programmer.
I give you an example why I think it’s so silly. A programmer with the name Richard Brodie, who is the main programmer ofMicrosoft Word, tried one of those tests and listened to the good looking, innocent and ignorant lady of the HR department.She stated “I’m sorry, but you failed our basic programmer’s test!”.Another one. Bram Moolenaar, who is the programmer of Vim (a famous text editor for developers) and currently he works forGoogle. Bram refused those silly tests. He claimed the following:“Only a fresh, inexperience programmer is able to have a go at such dreadfully thing, because they might remember those silly details. A real programmer is much more then that and those idiot HR companies simply miss good opportunities and good people.“Oh yeah, he refused that test at Google. The HR manager became curious and he got the job in a record time.
