what it do blind,
I’ve stumbled into an IT career by not applying to any internships during school.😔
The green-eyed monster has taken over watching my roommates and colleagues preach about their remote life compared to my 100% onsite.
I know my tenure/experience is lacking but I did manage to accomplish a lot at my most recent job coming into a massively growing startup that had stuck themselves into technical debt due to lack of any tech literacy.
I saw that python was a growing trend so I picked it up quick because I learned to program in C and Java in school. I’ve been doing my due diligence in the leetcode grind 120~ easy 50~ mediums 20~ hards , but im not necessarily looking to jump into a SWE field even though the compensation is tempting.
I’m mostly looking to work remotely related to a devops role to pursue traveling without the need for high compensation (my crypto moon bag has served me well). But still would like to make a decent wage.
Any advice by seasoned vets of the tech field to on how I should approach my career going forward?
If there seems to be any positions that seem like a good fit I would love some referrals as well.
below is my poorly anonymized resume!

too much white space on the left column, you're wasting space where you could be filling up w work experience instead.
need more quantifiable results.
Might as well make it easiest for a human being and the computer will do just as much with it if not a little more detailed.
There’s a bunch of grammar mistakes (capitalisation?).
Drastically cut both the number of bullet points as well as the amount of text in each point.
CV overally isn’t very readable, pick a simple template and highlight things you want to highlight.
I tried to categorize the skills section by
1st relating to programming
2nd cloud
3rd IT related
I did this because I was planning to apply to a broad range of jobs but didn’t want to cut down and make specific resumes because they are loosely related.
I felt i should have thicc bullet points because I didn’t really have enough experience so I went the route of going in-depth with what i have done.
I’ll try out some different templates and try to condense.
thanks again!
programming languages:
cloud:
IT:
"If someone gave me this resume for a job I was hiring for, would I want to read this?" The answer should be no, and if it's not, you're being too easy on yourself.
I'd recommend to start from there and then apply the additional recommendations from other people here.
I’ll go back to the drawing boards and come back stronger 💪💪
You have a decent amount of experience, you just have to think about what other people's perspective of your resume will be. And of course; Cater to the recruiters at the job(s) you want.
Also the censoring is not doing its job lol
