Programmers, if your resume isn't getting you job interviews, here's what you're doing wrong:

1. Limiting your scope

Don’t say “React Developer” ❌
Say “Frontend Developer” ✅

Your projects in React will prove understand frontend well and are capable of learning more frameworks.
2. Being very general in your experience/internships section.

Don’t say “Created apis for frontend” ❌

Say “Created express nodejs apis to fetch user data from Cosmos DB” ✅

It helps with keyword matching & also improves credibility of your statement
3. Focusing on certifications instead of projects

“Completed ‘Introduction to JAVA’ course on Udemy” has low/no value. ❌

“Built a JAVA springboot application…” has high value ✅
4. Not being relavent enough

Mentioning your Machine Learning projects for a frontend engineer position isn’t relavent.

Similarly expanding your “Digital Marketer” experience into 6 big points isn’t gonna help for a Software Engineer position.

Keep irrelevant experiences short
5. Telling long stories

Don’t write paragraphs explaining your position, projects or current situation. ❌

Your resume should contain facts and concise single sentence points explaining technical details of your projects and experience ✅

Save your stories for the interview
That's all for this thread. If you find this useful:

1. Retweet and leave a like on the first tweet - it encourages me to write more of similar content.

2. Follow me @ujjwalscript for more useful tips and threads 🙂

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
