On my resume I like to put everyone that plays piano isn't a Beethoven. There is a range between expert and those who don't even play. This is my excuse for being in IT but not well in programming.
- trianglem 6y agoWait, you admit on your resume you’re not good at programming and still get programming jobs?
- wizzwizz4 6y agoI'm good at programming. I rarely use my talent in a job; it's mostly plumbing and communication. All I really need to know is: • PEP-8 • Reading error messages • Reading documentation • The organisation's patching / monkey-patching standards • Who to talk to about what, and when
- dghughes 6y agoNot programming jobs but anything IT now is heavy on programming/scripting.

- adidar83 6y agoYou actually place this on your resume? I'm wondering the response from hiring managers. Thanks
- jacquesm 6y agoI'd be super impressed. I'd much rather hire someone who was up front about their limitations than someone who thought they were a '10x programmer'. A bit of humility will get you much further than misplaced arrogance.
- dghughes 6y agoNothing dramatic then again no mentions of it good or bad.
