I little question for the people from the lounge
-
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.

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.

Only if you're the author.

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.

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

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.

Why would you even need to ask this? Obviously if you have over 20 articles, it may make more sense to just link to your article listing URL or perhaps list the most recent 5 and then link to the listing URL.

Ok I get the need for security clearances and all, but

isn't that a little silly?
I met a guy once who couldn't ever tell anyone what he had been doing because there was no one left alive with the security clearance for him to be able to ask them if it was OK to talk about it now or not. :wtf:

Yes but do the interviewers really care about that?
Yes, and if they don't then get a job elsewhere. Coding is done by people who want a paycheck and by people who love coding. Sometimes both. Writing an article says that you care about coding, you're proud of what you do, and you're confident in your skills and open to review, criticism and looking to constantly improve. It says you're good and you want to get even better. Show off your articles in you resume and make sure your potentially employer is someone who also cares about software development.

You think that is silly... Within the first six months on the job I wrote report on something and it was classified. I wanted to update it a little later but was not cleared to read it - even though I wrote it! I had to wait for my positive vetting process to complete, which increased my clearance enough for me to read (and update) the report I wrote.
