Why can't I find a job as a Junior C#?
Hello. I've been updating my resume on HH for about a month, but I really can't find a job. Either I don’t fit in terms of skills and lack of experience, or they send a wildly complex task with completion in a short time, or they just look through it and nothing more.
Here is the link to the CV: Link to the CV to hh
Yes, I'm only a jun, but some companies have wildly overstated requirements for this vacancy. What do you advise ?
Mainstream .NET

Sounds presumptuous for a third year student. With this wording, "excellent" knowledge will be tested at a technical interview, and I am almost sure that you will fail it. It is better to say something similar: I had experience with, I used technologies for implementation, I have <initial> skills to work with, etc.

All developers do this, even middles with seniors. From your phrase it is not clear what level the project is, what stack, what specific tasks you solved, how successfully you solved them. The employer needs to understand your real experience and your real opportunities, and not something ephemeral "solved small problems."
4.
Never write like this. It is better to lie or exaggerate, or even write "Excellent knowledge", but not in the way you have formulated here.
5. No need to leave links to each project in the repository. Either one, the most interesting in your opinion, or one link to the repository itself. The employer will go there only if you interest him, not before. And a couple of files will be enough for him to assess your level. He will not review all your projects.
6. The experience of one project is not enough. Where are the open-source projects, where are the participations in hackathons, where are the ambitions of startups, attending conferences? The employer wants to understand how you are interested in developing, what plans you have for further growth. He takes you to zero not out of altruistic motives, but with the hope that you will quickly grow up and return the time spent on you with profit. Only one thing is visible from your resume: I am a student - give me a job. And why you, for what such merits and what the employer will have from this - is not clear.
7. I looked at your code. I would not want it to be written like this in my project, starting from naming and ending with some logic. You need to be very carefully allowed to approach real tasks and control what you write there, you just feel a little experience and there is far from "excellent knowledge".
In general, the conclusion. While you do not have a list of real projects behind you, in order to be invited, you need to stick out yourself, show off your achievements, demonstrate your ambitions, your uniqueness. You need to convince the employer that you are exactly the one he needs. It's not on the resume. When you have five completed projects, it will be the other way around, the employer will run after you and convince you that he will be the best for you. And hh students are not looking for interns, so only you should make responses to vacancies, always with a cover letter in which you can interest the employer with a couple of phrases.

Maybe too early?
I love these applicant complaints. Someone difficult, but someone needs two hours. Understand already - the employer is also interested in a person, he will not give impossible things. And then such frames come, who do not know what an IP address is and ask for 100k in hand.
Overpriced relative to what? On the contrary, it seems to me underestimated. A very subjective opinion.
PS While a student, no one will even look seriously. Otherwise, at an unexpected moment, you will screw up the session for six months.

This is not a summary, it is a set of words, it does not distinguish you from the general mass and even makes you lower in the list of the general mass.
1. Even I don’t have such a bunch of tags)) If you know the names of technologies, it doesn’t mean that you know the technologies themselves. With your experience, no one will believe that you had real experience with all this, and not just written hello world. Choose the ones you think you are best at.
2.
Excellent knowledge of WinForms, ASP.NET, LINQ and WPF. Patterns: MVVM, MVP, Repository, IoC.

He was engaged in fixing minor bugs, writing small SQL queries and unit tests, solving small problems.

The very first job is always hard to find. Nowhere is it written that you have to get settled within a month :) Therefore, do not panic and try and you will succeed.

I would write nothing more than Skills: C#, SQL, WinForms, ADO.NET, some LINQ, basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JS. In your case, even without the last three, given that you are a 3rd year student, remove references to your projects from your resume altogether, your code is very ... dubious, good luck in your search :)

It seems to me that you should be ashamed of your resume and the presentation of yourself in general. I myself, not studying full-time, studying programming alone (that is, without teachers / in the evenings / without understanding where to move) have mastered much more than you did in 3 years of study at the specialized faculty.
IMHO for 3 years, if there is a desire, it was possible not only to become a C # professional, but already a hacker, there would be a craving and desire for this. And know not only C#, but also Java/C++/JavaScript, i.e. be with a full stack and in all weapons

Well done! Keep it up! You need to search already from the 3rd course, preferably for steep peppers, gain experience.
Work on the topic on your own, don't stop, upgrade your skills. In the summary, you can write anything, it's all nonsense. Difficult tasks are rolled out on purpose, and when you solve it, an additional add-on will definitely be thrown. Decide! Obviously, if you like c#, then cool tasks will be your daily work. If you like it - work, not yours - spit and go in another direction.
