@kwladyka As for someone who’s both developing and hiring:

1) I think your cv should get you in through the first filter in most any Clojure shop.

2) Small, minor nitpicks: Separate your date of birth from your contact info. Then separate your links from that again.

3) Add something about the various technologies you’ve used in the different positions, it might make for interesting discussions during an interview.

4) Skip the calculations of engagement-length, I generally know how to subtract two dates.

Honestly I would take the date of birth away altogether, as it’s a piece of information which the employer does not need when making a decision to hire

Thank you. 2) yes, i noticed it yesterday. 3) I got feedback yesterday to add tools which i use. Your feedback confirm I should add this. 4) Here I got exactly different feedback yesterday. Personally I don’t know. Not easier to parse CV?

I like what you’re writing about your position at ETIN GRoup where you write: “It was challenging to satisfy changing business needs during 10 years. It gives interesting point of view for technology.”

You could maybe rephrase, but I’d recommend adding something like that for your other positions as well.

But as important is your cover-letter. Make sure you “answer” the (implicit) questions in the job-ad.

and relate those answers to your cv.

If, for instance, the job-ad mentions some tech or domain you’re not familiar with, make sure to note that, and how you’ll overcome that challenge.

Also, skip the generic part about being a quick learner who works well in teams and love to take on new challenges. No-one ever wrote the opposite in a cover letter so it brings no value.

Thank you, I didn’t expect so extended feedback. I am very positively surprised.

@kwladyka I agree with @slipset regarding point 4. Also its not that important if its been 4 or 5 years, so a rough estimation is generally enough, which can be done in the head fast enough and it leaves you more space for other stuff.

> Skip the calculations of engagement-length, I generally know how to subtract two dates. The original used format was this one:

Different people use different notations for year-month. In the screenshot I just get confused with so many numbers and dashes

Also, I've come to believe that detailing months is an invasion of privacy (just like asking for your birth day/month is)

Personally I use this format, private/clear enough
