The Success Jurney Mark Zuckerbergs Pre-Facebook ResumeThe Success Journey Mark Zuckerbergs Pre-Facebook ResumeEver wondered what Mark Zuckerbergs resume looks like? Was he as remarkable before founding Facebook?Have you wondered what, exactly, does it take to go from being a student at a university to one of the worlds youngest billionaires and CEO superstars? Well, we definitely have so for this reason, we bring you the story of Mark Zuckerberg, all in the format of a sassy resumeMarks fascinating life story starts in 1984 in White Plains, New York. His father taught him Atari BASIC Programming in the 1990s, and later hired a software developer to tutor him privately. Zuckerberg took a graduate course in the subject at Mercy College near his home while still in high school. His father was a work-at-home dentist, so to help his dad out, in 1996, Mark Zuckerberg built a software program called ZuckNet that allowed all the computers between the house and the dental office to communic ate with each other. This program is now considered a primitive version of AOLs Instant Messenger, which came out the following year.During his time in college, hes done a number of controversial things. He made an app called Facemash, a social website letting users decide who was hot or not. The website, even though it was considered to be unethical and sexist by the university, went viral quite fast. Some consider it to be the predecessor of Tinder, one of the most popular dating apps out there. He also made a coursematch website, allowing students to know what classes theyre taking and to form study groups.So its evident that Mark Zuckerbergs resume was impressive enough, even before founding Facebook But get this, he wasnt some IT prodigy. He was more of an entrepreneur and less of a developer. Its a pretty less-known fact that he actually majored in psychology at Harvard, not computer science. On the website TopCoder, you can see Zuckerbergs rankings in terms of programming, w hich was not all that high. So if theres anything to take away from all this, its that you dont have to be the most academic person out there, or have 200 years of work experience to be successful what counts is your persistence in making dreams into reality.Liked the article?
