Ask HN: With years of experience, I don't match any job profile in any tech

2 pointsby Nailgunover 4 years ago
It has been this way for years.<p>- Proven experience as a Web Developer, with high levels of competence across PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, WordPress and Python with responsive design and GIT version control<p>- A huge amount of self-determination and drive, with a passion for delivering work to a high standard and developing yourself further<p>- Node.js React, Next, Vue.JS, Mongo, Angular, Bootstrap and&#x2F;or WPML.<p>- High levels of competence in designing and consuming RESTful &#x2F; SOAP APIs<p>- Modern JavaScript and PHP frameworks, Laravel, e-commerce platforms and WooCommerce, along with design patterns, such as MVC<p>- The ability to increase Lighthouse performance scores<p>- Package and dependency management e.g. Composer, NPM AWS<p>– EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, Security Groups, VPC, Load<p>- Balancing and Scaling<p>- Browser and usability testing.<p>I was an ActionScript 3 Developer, I moved to TypeScript since Beta. I have architected successful SPA&#x27;s, I know Angular inside out and RXJS across the board with animation thrown in and understand cross browser development.<p>I can do a few of these things but this is crazy. Especially in the city I live and the money they are paying.<p>Is everyone just a bullshitter? Coz I have problems with being that way and maybe that is my problem?<p>I am very good at my job, but do I need to take some kind of course on how to be fake? If I do, how do I retain some kind of shield from embarrassment? How do I shield my actual face? To put my name on something?

You know what’s missing? Anything about business value and problem solving. Everyone has a laundry list of buzzwords and skills. Tell how you saved money, or increased revenue, or made something an order of magnitude more efficient. Or how you led or worked in a successful team.<p>A pro athlete resume would list their wins and teamwork and show an ongoing record of performance. It would not list the brands of shoes they wore.<p>The actual profile for almost every job is “Can add business value, solve problems, work with people, achieve goals.” Match that profile.
