Can you please also talk about how to move up the career ladder? What things to focus on to promote ourselves? What kind of challenges to stand up for. I am just not sure how people get promoted to senior positions. What are they dicussing in their 1:1s. What impressed the leadership to promote some people and some are left behind? What does one have to prove?

When I see the criticisms of someone who moves from a Manager or senior to Engineer, I think people do not understand that what is needed to be a very good engineer, that's why in many offers of manager yo see 300 applicants and in one offer for distributed Cloud engineer 2 applicants, and it takes 8 months to cover it.

As one of the recruiters mentioned, they are more likely to put forth a candidate if they have particular tech stack experience in a CV. But, we know that skills are transferable. Should we then explicitly call that out on the CV? It seems so.
@Jezza3110
What advice could you give for an older applicant who is a self taught software developer?
@sergeys7771
Thanks but what is the point of using 3x examples of CVs from senior engineers when obviously only juniors and entry people really need help with the CV. Not senior people, they have jobs and experience, their CVs are fine.

Well. now everyone will stand out

I was surprised the lady in the red thought the resume she brought up was good as I initially thought she brought it up as an example of what not to do. It was poorly formatted, way too much text. Very hard to skim read. As a tech lead that reviews CV's for a startup I don't like to spend 10 minutes on reviewing every candidates CV's. I spend maybe 1 minute quickly going over it to see whether the candidates technological experience roughly is in line with what we require. After that I spend a few more minutes reviewing it more in details. On the second candidate, I thought this resume is pretty good and I think it's clear the lady in the red doesn't understand the tech stacks and can't properly review CV's. The tech lead position here appeared to be non-technical (more of an engineering manager perhaps). Prior to that he had no experience with streaming technologies and in the senior dev gained experience with Kafka/Spark/Scala. If anything this makes the candidate much more attractive for future non-managerial positions. Regardless it is interesting to see her reaction because it is people like her who will review CV's you send in. So I guess too some extent you should take that into account when designing the CV.

Amazing, This is a masterpiece.
@mnchester

@tytusgierycz5563
It's a great pice of advice for me.
@enokoner
So what if you have had no impact? But just cranked out what they told you.
@NelsonPRSousa
Nice content. None of these CVs have photos. Do you think we should or shouldn't include it?
@Jojo-hj2cq
Are Computer Science Masters/MSc degrees (which is a 1 year course for absolute beginners) seen as acceptable for entry level software developer roles by recruiter/hiring manager and agencies? Or are 3 year undergraduate CS degrees seen as the standard?
