Ask HN: CV Feedback

2 points by eicnix 9y ago ↗ HN

As someone how just wrote his first non German CV I would appreciate a little feedback on it. Is it ok to include a list of projects in the CV? What is then the preferred page count? My German CV is 6 pages with 3 of them project descriptions.

Seems to require a Google account, so I won't be offering any advice.

Sorry, the sharing settings were wrong. Now it can be viewed without an Google account.

Are you missing a word on your first bullet? Consulting "for?" Clients? What does that consulting involve? Advice or actual implementation?

I'd be a little more specific with what technologies you're using. I see Containers/Kubernetes for your current position but I have no idea what technology the applications themselves are built on.

I'd also try to quantify/specify how you added value. Right now, i get a general idea of things you did but no sense of value other than "did my job". Shoot for some benefits along with your "features"

What did you do as a lead? Arch stuff? Code Reviews? Initial Design?

Good luck!
