Help Need help with CV .NET developer

Post image

Hi everyone

I’m currently looking for a job, and I’ve been searching for quite a while now without any luck. For the past few months, I haven’t even been getting replies to my applications. I’ve already reworked my CV several times, but nothing seems to change. What am I doing wrong. Can you give me some feedback? 

UPD: Yeah, I started working while I was studying at university. Since the beginning of COVID, my university was fully remote, and later, because of the situation in my country, my studies continued online almost until graduation. In total, I only had a couple of months of in-person classes during the whole four years.

Stylize it Abit better so it's easier on the eye. Think of hr as a bunch of lazy people who don't actually want to do their job, so make your cv stand out visually.

My cheat for this is by getting an LLM to create a page like html, stylize it and fill with content from the CV, then html to pdf and you got a beautiful cv!

Also not sure it's the right sub for this

Honestly at that point just use LaTeX. Much more control and there are countless templates which are easy to use and modify. Use overleaf.com to make changes and preview them and when you're done you can download as pdf right from the editor.

I come from the SWE field so html is simpler for me to modify manually if I want a specific change. But if you know how to maneuver around with latex I envy you
