I have a degree in Computer Science and recently finished a 9 month software development Boot Camp. Been sending out resume and applications to quite a few postings off of LinkedIn but so far getting very little response. I have an interview tomorrow but not sure how legit it is, outside of that I haven’t been called up for any interviews yet. Comrades in the software industry please help me out with any advice you can. I’m willing to relocate to pretty much anywhere as long as I can get employment in this field that will lead to good experience and development.

      Heh. I guess there are valid arguments for and against using a photo. Speaking as someone who has read (too) many resumes, personally I would recommend using a photo as it adds that one final :chefs-kiss: memorable icon that you can associate with the document that you are reading.

      The dickheads at HR are reading dozens of resumes; from their perspective, if they're all just text, how are they to distinguish one from another?

      But, you do you, I'm sure you'll find something sooner or later no matter what you choose!
