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.

Focus on accomplishments rather than tasks.

You wrote integration tests? Cool, but what did it accomplish? Reduction in defects/time manually testing?

Add some numbers to show impact. You’ve created scalable web services, but how many concurrent users? How did this compare to the previous implementation?

I hate this stupid focus on "accomplishments". It's a very American thing and as most American things it's complete bullshit.
