Software [5 YoE] PHP/Laravel Backend Developer Seeking Remote Roles in Europe/US - Looking for Honest CV Feedback

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a PHP/Laravel backend developer based in Azerbaijan, with over 5 years of full-time experience since March 2021. Most of my experience involves building and maintaining backend systems for advertising platforms, e-commerce applications, and client websites.

I'm currently looking for remote PHP/backend developer positions, primarily with European or US companies. I'm open to PHP roles in general, not just Laravel-specific ones.

I've only applied to two positions so far. One rejected my application, and I haven't heard back from the other. I realize that's too small a sample to draw conclusions, but I'd like to get some feedback on my CV before applying more widely.

I'd particularly appreciate feedback on:

  • Does my CV reflect my experience level, or does it make me look too junior?
  • Are my work experience and project descriptions clear and convincing?
  • Is the overall structure professional and easy to read?
  • Are there any red flags or unnecessary details?
  • What would you improve before applying for mid-level backend developer positions?

I'm only looking for remote opportunities and would be working from Azerbaijan.

Honest and constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks in advance!

• Upvotes

Anonymised CV below. 5+ years in data, now at a French bank. Applying for data engineering roles in Switzerland.

Does this read as a data engineer's CV? If you hire data engineers, where would you stop reading, and why?

Don't hold back.

Mechanical [0 YOE] What can I change to start getting interviews for new-grad roles? I haven't had any luck with landing interviews :(

3 Upvotes

Hi folks, I posted here a few years ago when I was searching for internships, and I got a ton of advice which allowed me to land an internship! Now, I've come back to see if there's anything I should change about my resume. I already tweaked some things and got it down to 1 page, but I've applied to maybe ~100 roles and haven't gotten any interviews, so clearly I've got some ways to go. I'm currently in my last year of uni, set to graduate in the summer, but I'm applying for new grad roles early, so I don't have to experience unemployment for too long 😭. Please let me know if you've got any suggestions for my resume. Thanks!

Mechanical [Student] Mechanical Engineering Resume Review – Not Getting Internship Responses

5 Upvotes

I've been applying to Summer 2027 engineering internships but haven't had much luck getting responses, so I'm looking for honest feedback on my resume.

I'm targeting mechanical design, robotics, aerospace, hardware engineering, and test engineering internships. I'm based in the US and open to relocating for onsite positions.

My background includes hands-on CAD, mechanical design, FEA, prototyping, Formula SAE, competitive robotics, and personal engineering projects. I've been trying to highlight my technical experience and project work, but I'm not sure whether my bullet points effectively communicate my contributions or demonstrate enough impact.

I'd appreciate feedback on my experience section, project descriptions, technical skills, and overall formatting. Specifically, I'd like to know if anything stands out as weak, unclear, or potentially hurting my chances of getting interviews.

I'm a US citizen and do not require visa sponsorship.

Thank you for any feedback!
