Lately my elderly father has been trying to convince to attend one of these coding camps so I can get a job coding. I’ve been a NEET since 2012 how do I explain to him all the coding camps in the world won’t help me when I have a 12 year gap on my resume. Also the last time I coded anything was in c++ in like 2011.

He’s essentially given me an ultimatum go to code camp or go homeless.

Also I’m mentally ill (mild schizophrenia I take meds for it)

as long as you are good at coding and actually know your stuff, then things like having a gap in your resume or even not having a degree don't matter

Mental illness is a crutch excuse for not trying. Hitler was mentally Ill and he conquered Europe.

You have no excuse to have a 12 year gap in your resume and to leave it that way. What I'm saying is you don't have to tell people you had a 12 year gap. Say you worked for a couple LLCs that don't actually exist

it's literally not possible for him because of the 12 year gap.

>> No.57597409

Yeah you can’t fabricate 12 years of experience, so get a fucking entry level job right now and start building experience. You will just have this problem again next year and it will be 13 years without experience.

yeah I know people with a long resume gap who got employed after completing boot camp / training

at some point your application will fall into the hands of a recruiter who has a NEET son or nephew or whatever and understands that you just need to get your foot in the door

just give it your all, absorb the material, make a good impression with your teachers, and then shotgun as many job applications as you can immediately after you finish

don't give up anon, take the opportunity

your father is uninformed, the days of 6 months bootcamps/courses and then easily land a six figure salary job at a big company in California are long gone lol.
Now days without a degree in cs/maths and a massive portfolio nobody hires you not even for pennies. Also "junior" positions don't exist anymore, today's juniors are the mid-engineers from 10 years ago.

go ahead and rapidly look for projects to work in even if they're not paying you(yet), make sure you build up a pattern of projects(team projects) and the employers will see a motive in you.. until then keep working, keep emailing people, companies, start ups for work and build that damn portfolio.
See you in about a year, good luck anon!

why dont u start your resume from when you got coder bootcamp educated? then employees wont know about your resume gap and if they ask about it just say you needed to find yourself or were helping relatives.
im autistic but even i understand basic common sense. you clearly are just a catastrophizing retard.

I think the schizo diagnosis is the bigger issue than the gap, but I was diagnosed with ADD. I take meds for it, and I have a job. Maybe Op is too afraid to do anything for himself. Listen to your father, Op. Become a coder. Just don't hurt anybody.

listen here you dumb ass pussy you're not going to win by sitting on your ass you need to get out there and make some money i guess it's too much to expect though with that big gap between your legs and your head it's no surprise you can't even get a job as a burger flipper you're probably one of those retards that takes the extra pickles off his burger because he's afraid of pickles or something you are probably too afraid to even ask for the ketchup
