Clojurians Log v2
jobs-discuss
I would appreciate a resume review if anyone has the time. My situation is, I like Clojure a lot but it was hard to figure out how to break into tech as a junior with it. I ended up owning browser automation for a complex SaaS application for about 8 years (the app: Angular, Java Spring Boot, Neo4j; my tests: TypeScript, Cypress, Docker, Gitlab, BDD). I'd love to do Clojure professionally; I used it at that job whenever I needed to turn a mess into understanding, but I haven't worked with others in the language.
This post seems fine in this channel as they are asking for feedback to improve their CV, to help secure a clojure role.
I just said that because recruiter would search for available people there
My advices below. Instead of a bullet point style, I would write more paragraphs. Your summary should definitely be a few sentences describing you and what you want to work on. Add a skills section with which technologies you know. Orient it with the one you want to work on. If you have been doing RxJS but hate it, don't put it there. Add your github profile, a link to the TED talk if it was recorded. I would describe some projects you work on, and write their outcome. More than the resume, I would contribute to OSS to get some visibility and showcase how you can work with others. If you have not yet, asking an AI for suggestions on your resume will help you as well. Good luck in your search!
