  • Neatly put resume with some obvious things to improve. Order of elements should be different, for example working experience and references usually come last because when we are looking to hire we are quick glancing over skills first then look where you worked. Those being on top of the page matter.

    So I’d list things this way: Education, Technical Skills & Certifications, Projects, Experience, References (if you have any).

    Another thing I’d like to point out is if you have GitHub/GitLab account do link that. Your code speaks a lot louder than CV and might get you past first round of elimination. Managers do look at that and it matters a lot. Am not in the job market for past 10 years or so but I still get job offers regularly just because I have publicly available code and few open source projects of some popularity.

    You are already doing a great job at keeping things short but I’ll say it anyway: Don’t inflate skills and knowledge to make the resume look richer. Write what you are confident in using and what you’d like to use eventually. Any developer can say ah I can write 15 different languages, because once you learn syntax and few intricacies all of them more or less are the same. But if you don’t know standard library and have experience working with it you might paint yourself in the corner where you’d get a job and have to work on language you are not comfortable with or even worse get tested using it and then fail on a stupid thing. Most managers know if you are proficient in one language, learning another is matter of time. That and you want to put the best foot forward.

    Good luck. Your sneaking suspicion is wrong. If only all the resumes I had to review were this concise.

    Very much so but people often kill them for looking nasty. When in reality they totally depend on humans to survive. And provide nothing else than benefits to us. They need warmth of our homes and very specific climate. They can’t survive outdoors.

    It actually is, if done right. But doing it right means you have to do things properly and care about doing them properly. In general data collection about various things can be useful, from optimizing energy consumption of your home to making your own life a tiny bit easier.

    The problem is, manufacturers saw the potential and rushed in to be the first on the market and forgot that online things need maintenance and patching. Goes to show how selfless the admin job is. As long as things keep working properly no one even knows they exist.

    I have wifi cameras which were never allowed online from first second they were connected to my network. But on the other hand I have few air filters that I do allow to send data so I can contribute to global statistics on air quality and similar.
