Ask HN: Advice – WhoIsHiring – According to my profile, would you hire me?

Here are my 2c from looking at your website:

- It feels like you followed a series of tutorials and put these together. Anyone can do this and it doesn't make you stand out.

- The website doesn't feel very polished. You still have placeholder text for project 5 and 6.

- The instructions on the header telling me to click on the project images feels amateurish.

- I think your portfolio needs some work to make it stand out. I'm no resume expert but I have employed others and your resume makes me really have to stop and think if you'll be useful to my team. When I have pile of resumes on my desk and a series of other projects with deadlines I would pass on that resume and look at stronger ones. Yes I know it sucks but that is the reality. Focus more on selling your experience and previous work. What have you achieved that stands out? Don't just tell me the tools you used. Anyone reading a tutorial can use the tools.

- You mention English isn't your first language. Have an native English speaker review your writing with you if you can. While I couldn't pick out any glaring errors, everything felt a little off when reading it. Even if you didn't say English wasn't your first language here on HN I think I might have picked up on it and it would make me wonder how you could communicate clearly if you joined my team.

Hope these help. Best of luck!

In order for someone to see your site and think they want to hire you, you have to change the wording of your actual work experience.

Instead of saying, "I worked on a team who did A and B", you should highlight what you did, "I was the architect for the database and monitoring the network" or "I built a relational database using python which allowed our customer to store their data on our servers."

Your CV should be focused on what YOU did and what some of your tasks were and what technologies and tools you used. IF I'm going to hire you, I need a lot more detail about your capabilities. Did you work in an agile or waterfall environment? Did you work mostly independently with little supervision, or did you work and collaborate with other teams (designers, project managers, business leaders) and did you have to work out issue and be able to communicate effectively? Are you capable of working on tight timelines and meet your deadlines effectively?

You probably have the skills, you just have to communicate your capabilities and achievements a little better is all.

You should also get rid of the Inconsolata font, it makes your site look amateurish as others have pointed out. Here's a good article on other fonts you can pair that will look much more professional. Just switching your fonts out will help polish your site.

I should clarify... My principal goal is not the money, but right now i need it for help my family to solve some things. The only thing that give me peace in this moment is to help my mom to be quiet, without stress and enjoying the life that she deserves, and i think that i can meet that by searching a job outside.

your site needs more personalisation, indeed it looks like the result of a tutorial.

you obviously know a lot of cool stuff :)

cheers

This stuff doesn't make me want to hire you. I can find tons of people who have used Python and JavaScript.

Past performance is a good indicator of future performance. What have you accomplished?

How well do you know Linux system administration / scripting?
