I am still trying to find John--you were easier :). Yeah, it's weird, I know, but hey... anyway, I hope you are well. Rhiannon Louis,

As for us, experience with Python and C would be fine. We tend to want to see at least some experience in a low-level language for our work, and you have that with C. Not having C++ experience wouldn't bother us at all. (As it turns out, we use almost no C++, just for GUI programming). I think people really overestimate how much language experience matters. It's much more important that you are familiar with the "kinds" of programing: low-level, functional, object-orientated, etc. If you really know C and Python well, those two will expose you to pretty much everything.

Regarding to Computer Vision projects(Face Recognition in your case), is it compulsory to develop real-world software by using C++ ??? And does it affect on potential candidates ? Sure you told that the language never matters, but it's a dilemma for me. It's so important to me ; because for example, I develop my projects with python , C and OpenCV. So, they suffer from lack of OOP manner. Let's forget some libs like pyOpenCV. I mean a project with only C and openCV. Thanks . Hi Louis,

One followup tip for the tech resume- when mentioning such programming projects on your resume, mention the technologies you used on the project to demonstrate your expertise.
