I tried to rewrite my CV on multiple occasions but nothing works; so I’m thinking to hire someone else to write it for me. I don’t know how much it would cost nor where to find such a person

Hi, here https://imgur.com/a/NVFwOIi
Idk what’s the problem, probably it’s full of red flags or I’m too bad idk
No major red flags here! This looks like most resumes I’ve seen in my past.
Couple of thoughts: It looks like you don’t have a college degree. A bunch of donkeys will use this to filter you out. (I didn’t for the longest time either) I’d drop your high school score off, as it makes it obvious that you don’t have a college degree. If you leave that off, they’ll need to ask you about it and, at that point, they’ll have started the conversation. You’re at the 2 year mark in experience which I feel will override most degree concerns. This will get easier for you in the next 2 years.
Do you have any experience in react? If so I’d consider documenting that on your resume. It seems like every front end job I run into is looking for someone with react lately. On second look it seems like you do have some react experience but I don’t see any evidence of that in your job descriptions.
Assuming you’re applying for English speaking jobs, I’d consider putting English before Italian as a recruiter might take that as you’re less than proficient at English (remember recruiters are often very bad at their job)
You mention building and maintaining multiple websites. It helps to be specific on what those websites did, what tech stacks they were on, and your role. Right now it reads very generically which may imply you’re inexperienced.
You mention building a restful api. Talking about the tech stack might give recruiters a better idea of your experience and where it is.
If you have any CI/CD experience, it’s helpful to add a bit about that.
Thank you! Maybe it’s the graphic? Idk.
I’m applying to both Italian and English speaking positions, but oddly enough nobody ever calls me back. With the first version of my CV I never had this problem so I’m quite confused what changed. At some point I thought it was my mail provider (Apple + custom domain), cause I got an email asking for some info about my residence but I never got back which was odd… tho I asked them on LinkedIn and they never replied either so idk.
About React, I never used it professionally tho I did some fun projects (which I never finished) + contributed with a few PRs to voyager/wefwef
EDIT: in the programming languages section I had C and Python but I removed them since I never liked Python and I don’t remember anything about it and I thought C isn’t that much relevant tbf
(I updated my previous post with a couple more thoughts that you might have missed)
If residency is in question, I’d explicitly put it on your resume that you have authority to work in whatever country. Whatever makes the recruiters job easier.
I’ve never had any concerns over someone’s email provider, but I’d double check it’s not getting caught in some spam filter or something. (Usually folks call)
How long have you been having this problem? In the US, there’s been a ton of layoffs and we’ve had a ton of excellent candidates in the recent months applying. Additionally, hiring at my company has slowed down a bit since February and will probably pick up in April May timeframe.
Oh I’m in EU. Right now I’m quite sure the situation is overall shit too Tbf
It’s just hobbyist but I’m trying to land a job which primarily uses React/Next, though I don’t really care about frameworks it’s just to have a breath of fresh air. I contributed some PRs to voyager/wefwef aside for never-completed-side-projects
They are a few I developed on my own:
Then there is project I quoted under REST api, there I worked just on the REST and DB side, collaborating with some coworkers.
Then I went here and there for small features, a refactor.
Aside for the REST’s one, which is an integration mix for Electron and Express (so Node + TS), they all share the same tech stack (Vue/Nuxt + JS)
