Is it possible to indicate the experience of developing OpenSource and pet projects on hh.ru?

Question

Career in IT

Good afternoon, I have experience in developing my own projects and participating in open source development. I did all this while studying + I plan to work on my project for some more time. In general, 1.5 years of experience comes out, is it possible to indicate this experience in the resume for headhuner, so as not to go to junior, but immediately become someone like a middle?
Thanks to all.

Answer 1

You can specify.
For a beginner, there is no other way to specify something.
You can even indicate the thesis if the topic corresponds to the vacancy (I'm serious).
But on the middle? No, definitely.
You do not understand something.
You're not even joon yet.
You are only trainees.
June you will become in six months.
And you will be them for 2-3 years before you become a beginner middle.
But:
If we are talking about salary - junior or middle - this has nothing to do with it. How do you agree.
If you are talking about the title of the position, it does not mean anything.
The less serious the office, the less experience you can have with a more serious job title. It happens that they will be called a senior with two years of experience (in reality, it takes 7-10 years to become a senior, sometimes 15).
But at the same time, for example, in Google, those who are called juniors are a couple of goals more qualified than other seniors in ordinary companies working.
Only if you are a developer of a serious OpenSource project (and not finished the little things)
Or if you have a very serious pet project.
No other way.
A middle is someone who can do far from trivial things on his own, without an experienced specialist standing over him and guiding him.

Answer 2

No. Experience is when you solve those tasks that are required of you, and not which you yourself want. Good code is not enough.
An exception is if your project is very popular and it is used by thousands of developers. For example RxJava, monix, shapeless, jQuery. They started as pet projects of one person and grew into very popular projects with a huge community.
And if you have been writing rubbish that no one needs for a year and a half, then no one needs such experience.
If you have contributed to popular open source projects, then this is worth mentioning. If you have your own project, then it is also worth telling and showing about it.
But this will not make you a señor-tomato overnight.

Need.
