Ask HN: I want to get hired for an entry level, developer role

10 点作者 EugeneFedotov大约 8 年前
tldr; I graduated. I need job. I&#x27;m only good at computer science stuff. Language agnostic.<p>Proficient: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Java, C#<p>What is this: I&#x27;m going to keep making these threads until I get hired. I haven&#x27;t been able to find a job since graduation. I get rejected practically from every new grad role. Even for roles posted by my university (my resume doesn&#x27;t pass the resume screen, even though the university reviewed it). I don&#x27;t know why; I&#x27;ve never done a tech interview. Even passing HackerRanks leads to rejections. I do know that I&#x27;ve bombed irritating framework trivia (no, I don&#x27;t know the order of arguments).<p>About me: located right by New York City. I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science. I graduated in May 2015. I am a U.S. citizen. I can relocate. I can&#x27;t work anywhere that requires me to drive a car. Programming is all I know; I have done this for my entire life.<p>My skills:<p>Disclaimer: some are ugly and incomplete; others are great. It&#x27;s a variety of stuff that I put many weeks into for each.<p>- Spent one year working on an eCommerce website for a business. I worked on the front end, back end, and simple database work involving entering products.<p>- Volunteer coding for a non-profit involving using the Google Maps API, JavaScript, and XML.<p>- Contacts manager using ASP.NET MVC and Entity Framework.<p>- simple Chrome extension that a startup stole code from, and proudly displays on their page.<p>- 2 month Node.js contract at a startup, involving developing features for their app platform.<p>- Lib for reading embedded data from TIFF files using C#.<p>- API that serves RESTful endpoints through Node.js.<p>- To-do app written in AngularJS 1 and PHP.<p>While a lot of this is related to web development, I love all areas of computer science.<p>Other stuff: volunteer at PropellerFest (Hoboken), and meetups and stuff.<p>Finally, thank you for reading this, and sorry if I annoyed you.

If you are not getting interviews there is something wrong with your resume. Why don&#x27;t you share it with us so we can comment.

Is it possible to rewrite your points to be &quot;achievement&quot; oriented rather than &quot;technically&quot; oriented?<p>As an example, your best point is last on the list: &quot;Optimized the website to serve pages from 5s down to less than 1s via Apache configuration and caching.&quot;<p>It should also be worded as such: &quot;Increased page speed by 5x faster with optimization techniques&quot;.<p>Be a little more sparse on technical details, and more bold on your achievements. Assume the reader doesn&#x27;t know or care about the technical details. All they want is to be persuaded that you get shit done.<p>Avoid redundant information like &quot;Consulted with ownership to establish project scope and business needs.&quot; Like seriously? You talked to people and worked on a team? No shit. Embellish your achievements, you must sell yourself.<p>Also move your education to near the bottom, lead with experience first.

I had a quick look at your resume. My suggestions:<p>Put your education near the bottom. Sorry to say, what you have written in that section is not compelling.<p>The first section could be something along the lines of &quot;Key Skills&quot;. Just list JavaScript, Java and C#. I know it&#x27;s a foible, but for me HTML and CSS are not &quot;real computer languages&quot;, i.e. they are not Turing complete.<p>Then a sentence about experienced in building web apps, both front-end and back-ends.<p>In your post you mention &quot;stole&quot; - that is not a accusation I would be making in public. Even if it is true. Most hiring managers recoil at such attitudes.

Take exactly what you wrote here, remove the tl;dr and what is this. Go on AngelList, (create a good profile there), go to jobs, select &quot;seed stage&quot;. Now, start sending this note to EVERY company. Your note will go to the founders directly.<p>Install rapportive plugin for gmail (or whatever gets you email addresses). Email those founders REPEATEDLY say every 2 days. Offer to do a free project, ask them to try you out. Don&#x27;t give up until they say &quot;go away&quot;. Silence != no.<p>One of them will respond.<p>My friend, resume is bullshit. You want a job? HUSTLE.<p>Good luck!

You really shouldn&#x27;t be looking for a job, you should be creating one......It&#x27;s always best to start at the top of the food chain.<p>And I like your persistance but this is the wrong place for it. You need to be in the marketplace with that persistance.

Look at my recent history to see a link to my resume. I&#x27;m doing ok with it. Something like that and expand more on each job&#x2F;project what you did (i should too but i&#x27;m lazy).

Maybe it&#x27;s just me, but putting &quot;www&quot; before tlds is not a good look. It seems amateurish
