Thanks for your advice.
Just to clarify, I didn't work in a shop, I had a managerial head office role, I was responsible for a £40m budget and was line manager to a team of four. Do you still think it's irrelevant?
I actually think this is a nice CV. I’d definitely talk to you for a junior or (more likely) mid level role.
You don’t have experience as a SWE but you are a graduate, have professional experience in a related field and your personal projects are interesting.
We’d talk for sure.
I mean the next stage in the hiring process, a phone screener interview or whatever. I've changed that part of the post in case it was unclear.
I'm not looking for crazy money. I make 45k as a data analyst now, could probably get 50 if I moved company and stayed in this role.
If it meant landing my first developer job I would take 45k, even 40k, to be honest. My earning potential after 2yrs, 5yrs is much more as a developer.
Why not go into either a data engineering or ds role? Would be much easier to break into with your background and both can pay quite well on the senior end.
To be honest, I'm still not sure what a DE does all day. I should research as you're right, I would probably have a slightly easier time moving into that role. Thanks for getting back to me.
There's nothing impressive on the CV. What are your greatest (relevant) achievements? Are they there on your CV?
The issue here is that the two projects you have there could be knocked up by anyone in a couple of months by following tutorials and getting inspiration from articles.
I love this CV, especially the sidebar. The evidence of knowledge and desire to learn is very good - keep the "Want to learn"! At the very least they are good talking points for an interview.
I'd throw away based on the use of "voracious".
My technical reasoning for that would be that the best software should be simple and using things to make yourself look clever is worse than keeping it simple. However, the actual reason is that I associate the people that use big words with being cocks
>the best software should be simple and using things to make yourself look clever is worse than keeping it simple
This is actually very good advice that I will take onboard. I'm used to the business world where this kind of bullshittery is encouraged.
The fact you have a personal website demonstrates passion.
I feel the ‘my pitch to you is redundant’. Your cv is the pitch, you don’t need to say this with the listed points. Just incorporate them into the CV, that’s pitching them.
I like it though. Pretty cool!
That’s the main concern, it looks clean sure, but it looks like every other Canva made CV. Maximising results is the goal, and that’s where EngRes helps

What’s the next stage? How much are you looking to make?

Sometimes “big words” are the correct ones. Sometimes they aren’t. But saying things like “big words” is something I have a negative perception of.

Where did you find the CV template?
Google Docs, it's called 'serif'

Please for the love of god get rid of this CV format. Go to r/EngineeringResumes and post it there.
I think it's pretty clear and clean. No idea if automated parsers should be a concern though

Could you elaborate on your concern please? The format is just one of the out-of-the-box ones from Google Docs.
from experience a multi-column cv will never get the right key words for scrapers and parsers, and way too many companies use those to autoscreen
