Two Mistakes in Dev Resumes (and How to Avoid Them)

,

Employers and recruiters spend on average 7 seconds reading a resume so if you don’t immediately capture and retain their attention; your resume is going straight in the reject pile. As a Resume Writer, I have noticed these two common mistakes made in my Software Developer clients’ resumes. Take note of my advice and watch the interview invites come rolling in.

Your Resume Isn’t Tailored to Every Job You Apply To  

A common mistake made by my clients is that they use the same resume to apply to multiple jobs. You should have a different resume for every job you apply to. Job adverts posted by employers and recruiters differ so why would you use the same resume to apply for each job? Your resume needs to closely match employers’ requirements.

5 Keys to Hiring Coding Boot Camp Grads

,

Hiring technical talent has always been one of my most difficult tasks as a startup CTO. Development talent is in short supply for all company sizes, and we’ll see an estimated 30% increase in the number of development positions by 2026. Salaries have increased 15% in the last five years with a 2017 median salary of just over $103K, and salaries will continue to rise at a faster pace as the number of positions increases.

Our company started in Boulder in a co-working space/coding school called Galvanize. We were lucky to have good candidates right outside our door.

Be a Freelance Developer? You’re Asking the Wrong Question

,

I get a lot of reader questions about freelancing. People interested in freelance web development or freelance mobile development or what have you. I applaud the desire to go free agent, and I think you should do it. But I think you get a lot of bad advice about how to do it. Bad advice at a philosophical level, that is.

Today I’m not answering a specific reader question, though. Instead, I’m just going to talk about going freelance. I did this years ago and have had a good run. But I really wish I knew then what I know now. Hopefully, I can help you get to joy a lot quicker and in less roundabout fashion than I did.
