The Mayron Cole Piano Method is now free

On my resume I like to put everyone that plays piano isn't a Beethoven. There is a range between expert and those who don't even play. This is my excuse for being in IT but not well in programming.

You actually place this on your resume? I'm wondering the response from hiring managers. Thanks

I'd be super impressed. I'd much rather hire someone who was up front about their limitations than someone who thought they were a '10x programmer'. A bit of humility will get you much further than misplaced arrogance.

Nothing dramatic then again no mentions of it good or bad.

Wait, you admit on your resume you’re not good at programming and still get programming jobs?

I'm good at programming. I rarely use my talent in a job; it's mostly plumbing and communication. All I really need to know is:

• PEP-8

• Reading error messages

• Reading documentation

• The organisation's patching / monkey-patching standards

• Who to talk to about what, and when

Not programming jobs but anything IT now is heavy on programming/scripting.
