Why? I have no idea what the icon for some of those are and I’m sure others may not as well.
This change would also be bad for anything that scans for keywords, which includes most applicant tracking software.
I meant like this:
Ah - okay I wouldn’t call that “replaced” - the icons were “added to” the names. I thought you meant the icons would be there instead of the name.
Apologies for the wrong word usage.
I’d love for someone more experienced to chime in, but on first glance the classification of JavaScript/Typescript as backend strikes me as weird.
That may just be because the team I work with uses a React/Typescript/Java/Postgres stack and we specifically classify the Typescript as part of the Frontend. Maybe it’s different in different companies?
I’m sure that a Typescript backend could work perfectly fine, it’s just semantics 🤷
You don’t classify a language, you write what language you used for the task. I’m guessing you’re using Java for backend, and TS only for react?
Yup, exactly! So a calculation-only module that doesn’t have a frontend would never have any TS Code in my case.
The classification of language -> task makes sense! I’m thinking of the weird college courses that wanted Java frontends lol
But how would you generalize that for a resume? Say you’ve used C# both for making backends and making frontends in separate projects. Would any sort of classification make sense in that case?
But how would you generalize that for a resume?
I separate languages and tools/frameworks (not a dev CV so take with a grain of salt). No clue about the c# world, but for js I’d do something like:
Languages: js, TS
Frameworks: express, react, etc.
The key is to hit all of the required keywords, machines and HR don’t know anything else. If a developer looks at your résumé they’ll know that you wrote both ends.
I disagree about humans reading these… As someone who has to read resumes while hiring, I’d rather see this than the word-soup I often get. It gives me an idea of what you’re best at, and I can figure out that you’d also be able to learn/do similar things.
I’d suggest rewording the mongoDb line to emphasize familiarity with NoSQL and call out mongoDb as a specific technology in the family. Also, if you have actual RDBMS experience please don’t omit that, it’s something we weight a lot more than just mongo/redis/memcached.
Where should I put that information? I am trying to keep the ‘About Me’ as to not write a long story about my personal life, I’ll leave that to the interviewer.
