I little question for the people from the lounge

Vasily Tserekh

Hi folks, Hi bots, Hi people that live here. I have a little question, can I place the articles written on codeproject as a part of my resumee or not. HAve you ever did something like that? best regards

Keith Barrow

I haven't, but it seems a good idea. I do put the fact I've authored articles on my CV, but not direct links.

Only if you're the author.

It's your resume. You can put anything you want on it.

Yes but do the interviewers really care about that?

If you are the author then it's your content. You sure can share/attach it with your resume.

It depends . But i think you should put your articles in your CV. This shows your interest in that filed. Anyway the CV will be with more information, which is good. Even if they don't read it :)

I suggest you link us to the articles in question, and tell us the level of the job you are pursuing. That will make this less subjective.

Some do, some don't. Some read them, some don't. I've included them to give an impression of my work, before anyone can ask for "codez" from previous employers. If that question rises (can we see your code from the previous company), the interview ends then and there.

As others have said: if they are yours, then there is no reason why not. But...check them first, and make sure they are examples you are universally proud of (and that includes any other comments you may have made here. If you link to one you are happy with, then that identifies you to the CV reader who can look at your other articles / messages / comments. If there is stuff you wouldn't want them to know...

Keep in mind that your CP user name will be attached to all of the articles you've written. That user name will also be attached to every forum post and comment you've made. If you are will be using your contributions to Code Project for your resume, make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you never, ever post anything that you would not want the Human Resources department of your dream employer to read.

That's a good point. :thumbsup:

For me would be impossible: Working for a Swiss private bank, and, as you can imagine all the internal business routines are part of the still existing (almost died) Swiss banking secret.

It's impossible for everyone of us who isn't working on an open-source project. Banks aren't an exception here. The sourcecode isn't part of the "banking secret", is it?

For the applications I am working on it mostly is: some contains the cryptographic parts (not the entire key, but part of it), and other "critical internal work flow / document flow" info. If that goes out then.. the guy whoe sent it out will have some big trouble. It's a kind of insider knowledge.

Absolutely! While not something from CP, I have two publications that my name is listed as an author in my CV with links. Plus notable awards I might have earned. If you are going to add anything, make sure it is something you are proud of and relevant to the job which you are applying. I tailor my CV for each job i apply for, removing things that may not be important. As others have said, make sure if you link your article, you haven't posted any other comments you wouldn't want a potential employer seeing. It is akin to an employer search for your Facebook profile, which they will do. If you list awards, do NOT list the fact you lettered in and were captain of a sports team in middle school. One of the resumes we received was at least a dozen pages long and had that listed as a past leadership position.

Nicholas Marty

In that case it might make sense to publish those articles on your own website :)

Guess the answer is "no" then, he should not. :laugh:

I used to work for someone (I can't tell you who) where my security clearance level needed a security clearance on almost the same level to even know what level it was. Needless to say, back then, if I wrote a cheque, never mind any code, it was classified! Today I work for the medical profession and the security is almost as tight but there is only one level of security, the "don't tell anyone anything" level!

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
