Lately I don’t get any reply to my CVs, how much would it cost me to hire a professional to write my CV? (sh.itjust.works)

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

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.

It's just hobbyist but I'm trying to land a job which primarily uses React/Next, though I don't really care about frameworks it's just to have a breath of fresh air. I contributed some PRs to voyager/wefwef aside for never-completed-side-projects

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.

They are a few I developed on my own:

  • two are CRMs - one of which my company's product, which I still maintain and there is a restyle scheduled - which I developed from scratch collaborating with designers;
  • one is a platform for quoting projects, again I developed it from scratch and I still maintain it.

Then there is project I quoted under REST api, there I worked just on the REST and DB side, collaborating with some coworkers.

Then I went here and there for small features, a refactor.

Aside for the REST's one, which is an integration mix for Electron and Express (so Node + TS), they all share the same tech stack (Vue/Nuxt + JS)
