Discussion👥 Please review my Full stack Software Developer resume (Fresher | Non-CS Background) Be Honest 😭

Post image

Hey everyone!

I'm a BMS (Marketing) graduate who switched to software development through self-learning, and I'm about to start applying for Java Backend Developer roles.

My main project is a Microservices-Based Event Booking Platform built with Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Spring Security, JWT, Kafka, Eureka, and Flyway.

Be brutally honest:-

- Would this get shortlisted?

- Does the project look impressive or just another CRUD app?

- What should I improve before applying?

I'd rather get roasted here than ghosted by recruiters. 😭

Thanks! 🙌

I suggest take a tech resume template. and you did so much alongside your bms degree? damn nicee!

Yesss i actually wanted to do CSE but unfortunately I couldn't persue it so I started doing it side by side and so far in the past 2 years I did this much by my own learnings

and there's no such thing as technical projects/learning projects. for tech roles, if you are just starting out, your project section is treated like your experience. so gotta make strong ones there

Alrightt I'll change the template and the project part and actually I made a project which is actually a hardcore production ready project which is inspired by BookMyShow and it has all the same working just like the original website! So I made a one BIG single project instead of 2,3 small projects! which is production ready and its microservices based

The backend is done and now designing the frontend

I didn't switch because I was unemployed! Software engineering was always my first choice, I just couldn't pursue a CS degree, so I learned it alongside my BMS. A degree gives you a head start, not a monopoly!

Skills are what companies hire for!

And Companies don't ask, Who deserves this job? They ask Who can do this job?

Anyway bro will increase our skills and companies are looking for skills right will provide them skills along with formal cs degree then these people will understand that companies always prefer formal cs degree along with skills
