My resume in an Operating system
- yitchelle 10y agoNice. I am a little confuse on the different types of education you haven taken. What is a professional degree?
- Jugurtha 10y agoIf I remember correctly, it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company. The ones I've seen last about a year if I'm not mistaken. There's a bit of a naming confusion going on. First, the title Engineer. In France, many universities propose the title "Ingénieur" (Engineer), but not all have the seal of the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI). If one wants to be an Engineer's Engineer, they must look up the University and see if the CTI sort of recognizes that degree as "Ingénieur", or a "true Scotsman".
- hk__2 10y ago> it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company In France this is called “alternance”. I don’t know about OP but you can have a “Licence professionnelle” with or without “alternance”; it depends on your school/university.
- Jugurtha 10y agoWithout "alternance" as in full time in school or full time in company? I'd guess the latter since the name is "Licence professionnelle" and not spending time in a company would defeat the purpose.
- di4na 10y agoFull time university. Full time in company getting you degrees is... quite hard in France The "Professionelle" part is more about the fact that after it you should not continue studying but go for a career.
- Jugurtha 10y agoOh, okay.. I see now. This category has its own ministry here, neither with "Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique", nor with "Ministère de l'Éducation". They have a "Ministère de la Formation et de l'Enseignement Professionnels". They get in with a different baccalauréat UFC (Université de la Formation Continue) which anyone can take even without necessarily being enrolled in high-school. Some of those who are enrolled in high-school hedge their bet and go for regular BAC and UFC BAC. They often fail the regular BAC but succeed at the other and enter UFC which has classes inside "real" universities after hours. Not dedicated classrooms, though. They came out of class one day and I said I've never seen them around (they didn't look the part) and they informed me who they were and talked about what they were learning, etc.
- yitchelle 10y agoThanks for the information. My initial thought was that a professional degree is a somethng similar to being a chartered accountant, or be admitted to a bar (legal industry). In Australia, the Institute Engineers of Australia had a program of certifying engineers and they become a chartered engineer. Not sure if they are still running it. They approached me when I graduated many years ago. I don't remember the exact details but I seem to remember that they were catering for engineers doing civil engineering. ie to build bridges that won't fall down when a truck goes across it.
- saalaa 10y agoIt's called Licence professionnelle in Ingénierie des Systèmes Embarqués in French. It's sort of a vocational education degree but delivered by a university and on a highly technical subject (supposedly, not meant as an offense). Edit: Licence is an intermediary level between bachelor and master/doctor.
- S4M 10y agoIsn't Licence just like a B.S? (3 years of University).
- iXce 10y agoIt is!
- sporkenfang 10y agoIn the US a bachelors is typically four and often five years, if taken in engineering or CS... Is this the European version you are referring to?
- saalaa 10y agoApologies, I was mistakenly thinking a Licence Pro was prepared in 2 years but you are right and it's 3.

- minitech 10y agoNice, but http://r.dakko.us/ http://r.dakko.us/ is still the winner in my book.
- voltagex_ 10y ago>If you mount the CD, /self.pdf is a recursive entry that contains the entire CD - it, too, should open in your favorite PDF reader. I didn't even know this was possible in ISO 9660 format. Seems like my next weekend project will be implementing an ISO reader... I wonder if JSMESS has support.
- klange 10y agoThe trick is that ISO 9660 sector IDs used in file offsets are relative to the start of the disk, so you can craft a file entry with offset 0 and size equal to the length of the CD.
- agumonkey 10y agoha, klange never cease to amaze. Icing on the toaru cake.
- master_yoda_1 10y agoYou fail because you are using a complex way to do very simple thing. I think you need to brushup you software engineering skills.
- sotojuan 10y agoHow dare anybody have fun and explore new things! Everything should be done the right way with no exploration or messing around with stuff for fun.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoI took it as satire. Guaranteed somebody could find a way to disqualify an applicant for this. Here are some hiring manager thought bubbles: * "Oh boy, this takes me back to installing Slackware from floppies. So I guess you're more of a backend/systems guy? This is a full stack position. Are you sure you want to work on the frontend?" * "Amateur hour. Copied somebody else's bootloader. We really would like to see more systems-level contributions to open-source projects." * "Overkill. Somebody who can't see how a PDF is appropriate here won't be a culture fit. Does he think I have all day to figure out how to open this thing?" * "Doesn't know Linux." Because in the end, it's all bullshit.
- frozenport 10y ago* Couldn't hold down a job because he spent too much time working on personal projects.
- bbcbasic 10y ago* And his Github commit calendar isn't lit up like a Christmas Tree.
- vidarh 10y agoBeing disqualified isn't inherently a bad thing. I work hard to ensure my "profile" ensures I get disqualified from things I don't have any interest in, to keep focus on the areas I do well. E.g. if he is a backend guy, then making that exceedingly clear is a good way of a) avoiding recruiter spam about frontend positions, b) stand out as someone qualifying themselves as a specialist. The latter is more important the more senior positions you go for - nobody will believe you're an expert at everything, and clearly qualifying yourself with respect to which areas you know in depth makes demonstrates confidence (contrast with the candidate who changes his tune about which subjects they specialise in the moment you mention another technology, trying to be perfect for anything you mention - it is rarely credible)

- danso 10y agoAssuming that employers are going to stumble upon the HTML version of your resume, I would cut out this line from the top: > Hates design & frontend. There's only so much above-the-fold space on a webpage (especially on mobile) and it's not worth devoting such valuable real-estate telling people how much you hate anything, nevermind two important skillsets. Also, your design sense seems to be fine, and you obviously care enough about front-end code on your webpage to have decent typography and legibility and not just use Bootstrap right of the box. edit: "above-the-fold" meaning top-of-the-page. Sorry, read too many newspapers in my day
- mathieupassenau 10y agoThanks a lot for the advice. I'll take a look at the fold space you mention ;)
- wtracy 10y agoProbably an even bigger problem is that this resume is now going to come up every time a recruiter searches for "design & frontend". (This might not be a problem in France. Here in the San Francisco area in the U.S. it seems common for recruiters to blindly contact the first 200 developers whose resumes contain relevant keywords.)
- vidarh 10y agoIncidentally, they blind keyword use is easily (ab)used to get past their initial filtering, by working in honest mentions of things you don't have experience with but which will fit relevant keywords. "I don't have much experience with X, but have worked extensively with Y and Z" Need to be careful about overdoing it, of course.

- brian-armstrong 10y agoThis is a neat idea. Now throw it through emscripten for a live demo ;) Edit: rather, put a vm (qemu?) through emscripten and load your os on that

- wtracy 10y agoVery cool. I've toyed in the past with the idea of making a bootable CD that launches a minimal Linux desktop with a PDF reader and a copy of my resume, but this is one better.
- shurcooL 10y agoI'll share this here since I have something similar/relevant. My resume is a Go package: https://github.com/shurcooL/resume https://github.com/shurcooL/resume People can leave "reactions" (like on Slack) in my skills section, as my tongue-in-cheek play on LinkedIn's endorsements. It renders the HTML entirely on the frontend (try viewing source at view-source:dmitri.shuralyov.com/resume). As the README says, it's not to be taken too seriously.
- cjh_ 10y agoVery nice, although I want to point out that this page contains many typos - you probably want to run a spell and grammar checker over your blog posts and your resume as many employers may screen due to these.
- xiaoxubeii 10y agoInteresting idea.

- IANAD 10y agoWhat would be more impressive to me and practical would be spending time contributing to the Linux kernel. That is something that companies would more likely be interested in.
- mywittyname 10y agoThis is kind of dismissive, mean, and misses the point. It's like watching a person make 100 free throws in a row, then saying you'd be more impressed if he go into the NBA. It's an order of magnitude more difficult to make a meaningful contribution to the Linux kernel, so of course it would be more impressive.
- IANAD 10y ago> It's an order of magnitude more difficult to make a meaningful contribution to the Linux kernel Any contribution that is kept is meaningful.

- pjc50 10y agoThis kind of thing is an excellent answer to "I need to have a github to get hired, but all my work is copyrighted and NDA'd". Rather like a "masterwork" in the context of the old craft guilds. An overly-elaborate demonstration of skills as proof of credentials. Some electronics hobbyists have various sorts of circuit board "business cards" that serve this purpose. I've been considering doing one of those myself.
