What can I improve on my resume for the position of Junior Android Developer?
Good evening!
I'm looking for a job as a Junior Android developer in Russia and I need your comments on my resume, what can I do to improve it, how can I make it more attractive. Link: https://hh.ru/applicant/resumes/view?resume=9a09a9... Below I wrote a short story about myself and my programming experience.
I have been studying Java and Android since December last year. By education, an engineer of the PGS and decided to retrain himself. I spent 2 months on what to learn Java Core and read HeadFirst on Android. After that, I started writing my first code on GitHub. At the moment, there is one ready-made test task and one of my big personal projects of the VocaNote word memorization application, which is about half completed. I also have another ready-made test task (RSS reader with Retrofit and RxJava), but I didn’t post it because I didn’t agree on the details of the publication with the employer.
While writing my code, I simultaneously got acquainted with the Retrofit, RxJava, Android Architecture Components libraries, used Material Design specs, read a lot of official documentation and asked questions on Stackoferflow. I read a little about algorithms and patterns in order to know about O (n) and patterns that are found in the SDK.
English at level B2 (I read documentation without an interpreter, I watch videos from conferences, I can communicate with foreigners live).
For work, I am ready to move to any city in the western part of Russia up to the Urals (except Moscow). I myself am from Russia, but the city is not at all IT, not counting 1c and a couple of small web studios). I regularly respond to vacancies on hh.ru. The results are as follows - I completed two test tasks and passed 1 technical interview. The test results will be after the May holidays, the interview failed. Plus, I was invited by one office in St. Petersburg for an unpaid internship.

It is better to give a link to the github where you talk about it: on HH, when exporting a resume, links from contacts can be lost, and then someone might think that it was not they who lost, but you forgot. And remove the logs from your project on the github, they definitely should not be there. Well, the names of the commits ...
You say the words "with my first pet project" there. It will be nice to write about what real problems you can solve. And then you may get the impression that you do not know anything at all. Algorithms, data structures are just words. Ultimately, actions decide. For example, the expression "I can write unit tests for this" will immediately override all the points that you wrote.
The position "Ready to move to any city" sounds like you don't care where you move next, you don't care what happens. This is a purely subjective opinion, but I would be more impressed with the approach with the goal: "I do this, but in a couple of years I want to do this; at home my options are limited and in order to achieve my goal, I am ready to consider moving."
