Your resume has nothing to do with landing that perfect coding job

With every company inevitably evolving into a tech company, demand for tech jobs is on an all-time high. And amongst the huge pie of tech job, programmers take a considerable space.

For instance Goldman Sachs has more programmers and engineers working on tech matters than Facebook. Yes that’s right! About 33,000 full-time employees at Goldman Sachs, 9,000 of them are engineers and programmers.

Sectors such as Automotive, healthcare, insurance are some of the sectors that have huge demands for programmers. Major non tech companies like BMW, Audi, Mercedes are all looking to hire more tech staffs to help develop the advancement of new technologies.

With the kind of demand seen for programmers or coders, disruption in the hiring process becomes imperative. And since it’s not your regular profile there’s no reason for the hiring process to be one!

Just like how a grad school graduate from Bulgaria, Anthony, went on to become a top programmer in VMWare from working as a dishwasher in Spain by applying through an online tech recruitment company called HackerRank. All Anthony did was to complete his valuation on the platform and submit a copy of his code. Based on his own code he was able to wash his hands off his old job and land a perfect new job. A hiring manager may not have given him a second chance with just his resume.

HackerRank provides coder placement in top companies like Amazon, LinkedIn, Quora and Facebook across geographical dimensions worldwide and India. HackerRankJobs is looking to connect the last mile between employers and candidates. So here are two key tips from HackerRank for all coders who are looking to land that perfect coding job.

Mr. Hari Shankar, Co-Founder, HackerRank, says-
Landing a coding job can be relatively easy if the coder pursues the following during his early college stage –

· He/she need not just focus on the college curriculum but should actively get involved in various other open source projects available on sites like Github. These open source projects help the individual to understand the industry need and thus hone their coding skills accordingly

· A coder is expected to do background research on the company he plans to join, and should have very strong sector knowledge. This approach will help the coder to align quickly with the business needs of the company and come up with solutions accordingly

Programming skills are soon becoming even more significant, and rapidly turning into the core competency for all kinds of coding related jobs. So if you are a coder looking for that perfect job just get coding online and show them what you got because working and reworking your resume will not get you that coding job anymore.
