THS Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Curious to hear if anyone has actually done this, and if so, how did you word it? I don't exactly need it, but I'm trying to find the funniest way I could semi-troll while I'm updating everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alek Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Talk about machine learning, advanced AI theory, and neural networks. The more about a subject you know nothing about, the better. Also say you were an employee (Software Developer) at OSBot. (these are all things you shouldn't do because that would be lying - we've seen these things before and its maximum cringe). 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm trying to walk the edge Plus I'm not discussing it as actual work experience or anything, more of my hobbies/ongoing projects. I have a few that have actually been lucrative so this goes under those. Whenever I talk to my colleagues about what I did for money during my studies, they're so gobsmacked that it somehow isn't on my CV. I imagine someone in your position would have an easier time spinning that tale though. Edited November 16, 2017 by THS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that super sci-fi related coding stuff? then again didn't you also work for the Government ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzbeat Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 If your job experience is so lackluster that you're even considering putting that on more than likely the job is so low level that resumes don't mean much. I do, however, know a few developers who have used their RuneScape bot development experience to get internships/jobs at companies like Amazon/Walmart. Keep in mind these were actual competent developers who had a well established resume already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I bulked botting up so much for my personal statement for university, which also got me my first programming gig. Pretty easy how to bulk it up and if your ever asked about it, it's super easy as long as you don't include AI and all that shit, because it's the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My line of work is not in any way related to this subject matter, but it's interesting to hear that people have put it to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
