Finding a C dev job with an unusual experience/CV?

A_SN · 2009-11-09 08:45:39

Does any one know of anyone who might want to hire a C programmer in the Dublin area? I know those are rare, that's why I'm asking. I would respond to offers on job sites, but I just won't pass the HR filters. I'm quite experienced, but I never had a job before. I'm 23, no degree and last year because I couldn't find a job…

I'd agree with the poster above that mentions OOP being over sold at times, its not the be all and end all. For example I find some students coming out of university can't program a state machine, one of the most useful things in programming.

As an earlier poster has said OOP is very good for re-use of code, not just your code any ones code, for example java comes with a massive code base. The classes that come with java have been tried and tested many times over. Say your working on an application that requires encryption, where would you start? would you code from scratch? try find a "c" library to do it for you?

I would encourage you to do an OOP course with an open mind, then decide if you never want to use it. Cause with in a couple of weeks you'll be able to do so much.
