Do you feel stepcharts are résumé-worthy?

Re: Do you feel stepcharts are résumé-worthy?

I feel like the answer is in general no, but on the other hand charting is definitely a type of art which requires skill and technique and so on. So it would compare to a more obscure art form, like origami or CAD drawing or something. If you want to include it, try to phrase it in a way that emphasizes the creative and musical aspects, and downplay the dancing/DDR/nerdy aspects.

at first I thought 'absolutely not' but I can see this working. maybe

This would go under the personal part of the resume which means it doesn't have to be relevant to the job that you're applying for. I always put down that I was part of the varsity tennis team, a mathlete(in 5th grade but they don't need to know this part xd) and an artist(stepcharter would go under artist. Like I said I don't make it sound like I'm just putting arrows to music)

Also, I might put emphasis on your familiarity and/or proficiency in audio editing/producing software - sounds more professional.

Hey CAD drawing is hardly obscure art.

Re: Do you feel stepcharts are résumé-worthy?

I haven't submitted my résumé anywhere yet, but I put it down as "Stepcharts are the choreographies, or sequences of arrows, used in Dance Dance Revolution software".

And then I put in a bit about cutting and remixing music, using Photoshop, and coding synchronization.

The way you've written it makes it look better. I'd think that for a computer programming class it'd look pretty good to put that in as a project you have completed. If you were applying to a job at Pizza Hut, obviously you're not going to put being a stepcharter on the application >.>

You can always ask what your professor thinks too, wouldn't hurt to ask her :P

modifying audio by cutting or extending is but a hobby, I dont think it would consist of a legitimate skill to add on a resume.

there are tons of other ways to modify audio that would probably make you look better on a resume.

I think putting stepcharting on a resume for a computer programming class is just as useless as putting stepcharting on a resume for Pizza Hut (shit, do they even take resumes?). Chopping MP3s and putting arrows to beats != computer programming in any way.

I still stand by calling this a hobby and excluding it from your resume.

Re: Do you feel stepcharts are résumé-worthy?

You wouldn't submit a resume to pizza hut anyway unless you were applying for a managing position


Even then you would still leave something like that in there under the personal section of the resume

I agree though cutting and extending isn't enough the way you worded

I'm allowed to put stepcharting on my resume because I've been payed to do it ;o)

Re: Do you feel stepcharts are résumé-worthy?

unless you make a file every 12 minutes (i.e. $10/hr) it doesn't seem to have any merit
