Lately I don’t get any reply to my CVs, how much would it cost me to hire a professional to write my CV?
Lately I don’t get any reply to my CVs, how much would it cost me to hire a professional to write my CV?
I tried to rewrite my CV on multiple occasions but nothing works; so I’m thinking to hire someone else to write it for me. I don’t know how much it would cost nor where to find such a person
Honestly? ChatGPT.
I tried using it but it wrote and invented too much. I shortened the bullet points but probably I'm not that good at using it or the layout I'm using is just bad
invented too much
If it was pure invention throw it out, but otherwise everyone expects a little embellishment
Post your resume and let us have a look! (Redact personal info) If you’re not getting responses it’s likely you’re either missing keywords (because HR/recruiters are terrible) or you unintentionally have some red flags.

Idk what's the problem, probably it's full of red flags or I'm too bad idk
No major red flags here! This looks like most resumes I’ve seen in my past.
Couple of thoughts: It looks like you don’t have a college degree. A bunch of donkeys will use this to filter you out. (I didn’t for the longest time either) I’d drop your high school score off, as it makes it obvious that you don’t have a college degree. If you leave that off, they’ll need to ask you about it and, at that point, they’ll have started the conversation. You’re at the 2 year mark in experience which I feel will override most degree concerns. This will get easier for you in the next 2 years.
Do you have any experience in react? If so I’d consider documenting that on your resume. It seems like every front end job I run into is looking for someone with react lately. On second look it seems like you do have some react experience but I don’t see any evidence of that in your job descriptions.
Assuming you’re applying for English speaking jobs, I’d consider putting English before Italian as a recruiter might take that as you’re less than proficient at English (remember recruiters are often very bad at their job)
You mention building and maintaining multiple websites. It helps to be specific on what those websites did, what tech stacks they were on, and your role. Right now it reads very generically which may imply you’re inexperienced.
You mention building a restful api. Talking about the tech stack might give recruiters a better idea of your experience and where it is.
If you have any CI/CD experience, it’s helpful to add a bit about that.
It would probably be better rather to search for a CV coach, someone who will sit down with you and talk through the revision process rather than doing it for you that way you get both an updated resume as well as experience in how to update it again
Have you tried getting free feedback from online communities first? On lemmy, we have [email protected], [email protected], and this community you're posting in. But the programming.dev cs_career_questions is more active, so I recommend that over shit just works' community.
At this point I think my writing skill reached its limit so maybe I should just hire a professional to write a good CV for me
I've used Reszoome before, and the process was pretty great. The editor took my resume, rewrote it several times with my feedback and then produced the final and a thanks you letter. Not sure what I paid but it looks like they have different packages and services now and they seem to still be reasonably priced.
I will check it out, thank you!
YMCA runs an "employment center" here. I wanna say it's like $20 for a CV? Maybe $40? Local prices, obviously, and I'm not sure if the Y does this everywhere.
Looks like this is Canada only:
