Howdy! Have a question, is anyone can help me with finding a position as a junior react dev?

Just use LinkedIn / Indeed, react positions are abundant ..

@ElectroArchiver yeah, I know. I'm from Ukraine, and right now in Ukraine are almost 0 positions for those who doesn't have any commercial experience. I was trying finding vacancies abroad, but still l'm receiving only rejections

@vliashenko Well I guess you will have to search for remote jobs in Europe then ..

On the point of being rejected, do you have a nice CV, listed projects and a portfolio / GitHub profile where you show off your skills?

@vliashenko Sure.

Not sure if you really want to post your CV on here / for everyone to see

My thoughts, things I would change:

- First impression, overly full

- Remove the GitHub activity graph, it's not well cropped, nor is it relevant on the CV, they will see it when they check your GitHub anyways + it will be outdated, always.

- Soft skill sections is, well, irrelevant, those are just things they expect from you anyways

- I would rephrase your English language proficiency as 'Experienced' 'upper-intermediate' sounds like you are very unsure where you stand at

- After removing soft skills rename tech skills to 'Skills'

- Reduce 'ResetAPI and RestfulAPI's' to Rest APIs

- Tech skill 'Google'? Do you mean googling or one of its hungreds of services / products?

- Don't include the username in the GitHub / LinkedIn links, just have them be links

- Projects Experience -> Projects

- Why is there a 'Link' after every linked project name?

To me, that CV looks great enough.

(Maybe it is because English is like my 3rd language but 'almost half a year' is always looking weird to me. Like just give the real amount... is it 4 month, 5 ? )

Is this CV for a specific company ? Not sure if they all are interested in seeing your github activity. But nice to see links to your projects. Nice addition.

@ElectroArchiver Hmmm, as long as I don't have better advice I will implement your changes to my CV. Thank you for advice!

Two links because one is going at code source page, and second at a live github.io page.

@vliashenko

- Junior React Developer -> React Developer

- You are searching for a position but it says you currently are at Svitiofour? Outdated?

- 'Developed basic..' -> Component implementation using MUI / React / TypeScript

- 'Took an active ..' Collaborated on planning & design of new features

- Not sure what the 'Electrician installer' section is about ..

- 'owners were Americans' remove that ..

- In general you should ask youself if you even want to list previous jobs unrelated to your current field, I would at least not go into any detail, possibly not even specify where, just that you worked as an assistant chef and when

@vliashenko No problem, ofc you can just keep your old one and make a new version.

Which reminds me, it makes sense to have different CVs for different fields, in case you actively pursue different jobs at some point.

@Grumm Thanks, I was hoping it looks okay, but it seems like it won't fit every recruiter..

This one is not for a specific company, but mostly recruiter wants to see examples of your experience, some pet projects etc.

@ElectroArchiver your advice is reasonable so I honestly really glad you've answered. Sometimes it is important to see things from another angle.

@vliashenko That probably depends on the country.

All my interviews were using their own tests.

They didn't asked me about private projects. But I guess it can be a +

I got my first job based on some kind of IQ test (fairly easy to be honest) and they told me that I scored the best and took me. I didn't even write any code to show them xD

@Grumm Wow, the last time I almost aced an interview test, I wasn't considered because of some 'optional' secondary qualities ..

@Grumm a funny thing is that last year, before war started, interview questions were like "iterate an array, find unique values in iterated objects and count them". And now once i've been asked to develop a calendar, without using any library, except those which works with Date objects.

And last time the task was about create an e-commerce functionality, without styles ofc, and they gave me 24hours.
I was rejected because I didn't implement one and only feature. As i remember it was something about comments at the product page , so the user can use some basic CRUD operations and interact with comments.

Worst part that noone sent me a feedback...

@vliashenko Yeah, no feedback is really sad.

They should at least explain why they didn't picked you. Or at least point the things you need to work on.

@Grumm when I asked about feedback they always tells me that their tech specialist is busy and it will take up to 2 weeks for feedback. Ofc when I'm asking them again they're just ghosting me.
