How to finally get into a Java junior developer interview?

Question

Java

For a month now I have been trying to find a job as a java junior developer in St. Petersburg, during this time there has not been a single interview, from which I conclude that something is wrong with my resume .
How to change the resume, what to remove, what to add? It is very difficult to hook something in the absence of commercial experience, and there are now 6 June vacancies in St. Petersburg, what should I do?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

I'm just an ordinary php-shnik and don't know java, but the resume left an empty impression. I would add:

1. Link to github. Where can you somehow see your skills, and not believe the words. Publish your projects at least partially. Or come up with a new one and post it
   
2. More smart words. I can, I can, I love. For example: I know and apply design patterns, I follow the SOLID / DRY / KISS principle, I am well versed in the X framework, ...
   

Answer 2

Hello
1) Take a normal photo. Yet Java vacancies usually go to reputable enterprises.
2) Open any java-vacancy, and stupidly rush everything that is required there.
3) Add structure to the resume - now it's "ala free words."
4) Apply for all Java jobs. It is much more likely to go to an interview for a conditional middle and climb into a junior than to look for a junior vacancy.
5) If you still can’t find it (you don’t have the best resume, let’s be honest), choose a simpler stack and go as a developer.
A simple rule works for Piggy: "There is at least one entry in the labor - developer (even if not for the right stack), then you are a developer, and you can be considered. If not, then you are a very risky option. So then you can switch. For example, you can try to get through on .net.

Answer 3

"Beginning of a career, students
Information technology, Internet, Multimedia"
Why did you put this phrase in your resume?
Work experience - you described incomprehensible applications, without specifying the PLACE of work, which either gives the impression that you are an unreliable person who jumps from place to place every 2 months, or wrote something incomprehensible for yourself. It's not "work experience", it's "my projects".
And in "about me", instead of a brief description of what kind of person you are, you have a list of technologies, and the description of JDBC in words that you understand what a connection or transaction is shows that you are almost proud that you know the definition of the most basic things.
You need to write briefly - I have an idea about MVC, the basic level of SQL.
Also, in the list of technologies, you can specify git, and not "deployed projects on github and bitbucket", since in fact no one deploys projects on github and bitbucket, they are pushed there. And they deploy applications to the environment. The word deploy usually means installation/installation/deployment of the application to where it will be executed.
"English - I can pass the interview"
"I also have the level of English intermediate"
Why twice, and the first - it is not clear which interview you can take, in the second - the phrase does not sound very correct.
Why do you need it?
Remove it altogether if it doesn't matter.
Look at other ready-made interviews, but not juniors, but seniors. Try to capture the style.
You need to sell yourself, I can’t list what you value in yourself.
You need to write what the employer wants to know. If you have something the employer needs - write it. Extra is not needed.

Answer 4

It seems to me that you need to learn a little about web frameworks: node.js, react, angular, etc. Well, besides everything, since you know spring and servlets, it’s better to pull up SQL (I didn’t see it specifically for you).
And do not forget that you may not be very lucky with work now, but the right company will eventually invite you to their place.
PS: it would be nice for a hunter to attach links to the deployment of your work, if this is the case.

you have an android-developed resume, hr girls look at your resume and don’t see familiar words, scroll further

Answer 6

I have little experience in the Java Enterprise, but still I can say something too.
My recommendations:
1) Edit the photo (it's better if it's a close-up, to the waist, for example; and see how it will look on a black and white printer).
2) Add a link to the github (although I’m not sure that many people are watching, but if there are and if there are worthwhile projects on a modern stack, then it will be a plus)
3) Structure the resume, remove the “water”, add more clarity and specificity. (And I see no reason to write in the experience projects that you did for yourself; or, if you want to add them there, then write that this is freelance).
4) Correct grammatical and spelling errors in the resume, as well as all sorts of typos.
5) Enroll in courses and write them on your resume.
6) Take an internship in any company, and write it in your resume.
7) At the very least, study php or automatic application testing and get a job in one of these areas.
Threat So far, according to the sensations, the resume seems empty, uninteresting.

Answer 7

You're just bad at searching. Send your resume to the company even if there are no open vacancies. Just recently we were looking for juniors (without experience) it took a couple of months. (Only Java Core was asked at interviews)
And, it seems to me that you indicated too much in skills for a junior, this is already a middle stack. And you must understand that if you are invited for an interview, you will be asked about all the technologies indicated.

Answer 8

The Java-Spring stack is usually the financial sector. They get there either with experience working in Java in some related company, or on the basis of a competition (they drive 30 4-5 baum students to some internal courses), train them, test them, see who can and who can't. As a result, out of 30 they take 1-2 to the team.
at 19 years old, with no Java Spring experience - I doubt very much that you will be taken somewhere. Or go to scribbles on php - gain experience and then try. Or, for example, go to QA vacancies, write autotests in Java, and then go to developers with the help of internal translation.
