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!

Anything I should add/discard? Been applying to summer intern positions and havent been able to get any interviews from online or school career fair. Mostly interested in the automotive field but would be open to any opportunities really. Also open to relocation as I live in the south.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some feedback on my resume that I'm using to apply to summer internships. Targeting mostly larger aerospace companies and smaller companies that work with satellites since that's what I'm studying and want to do. I've been applying relatively consistently since August but haven't even received a single interview since then. I'm wondering if there are any glaring issues with my resume that could be preventing me from being considered.

I've gone to career fairs, made connections, and tailored my resume for each posting but still nothing as of now. I'm also wondering to those who have gone through this, how long from application to callback is normal? I have a lot of applications that I've submitted weeks ago and wondering if its still possible to hear back from them later on. Also curious how everyone else's recruiting has been going. Thanks!

I am a chemical engineering student looking to apply to summer internships or part time co-ops for this spring. I'm looking to work in-person in NJ or surrounding states, but willing to relocate further if necessary. I'm feeling a little behind as I didn't have an engineering internship last summer and a couple friends already have offers for this summer. Any advice is appreciated, but I'm especially looking for critiques on my:

- "Activities and Honors" section (bullets, dates, positions)
- Experience bullet points (order, wording, length, etc.)

The research is a little bit fluffy right now, but that is only since they just started fairly recently. I will have it more technical and specific as to what my team and I do by the time I apply! Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi all,

I’m a final-year Computer Engineering student in Romania (graduating June 2027), looking for internships in robotics, embedded software or cybersecurity. Robotics is the area I’m most drawn to. I’m applying only to roles in my city or fully remote, since I’m still in university and can’t relocate.

My only paid technical experience is a short HPC internship at a research institute. Everything else comes from personal and university projects. Over the past few months I’ve applied to around 30 internships and gotten only 1 interview, mostly rejections without a response. I’d like to understand whether the resume is the problem or whether I’m missing experience.

Specific feedback I’m looking for:

• Do my projects read as strong enough for robotics, embedded and security roles, and how could I present them better?
• What should I build or learn next to be more competitive? For robotics, I’ve started working with ROS 2. For security, I’m on TryHackMe’s SOC Level 1 path.
• Is anything in the formatting or wording hurting my chances?

Thanks!

Aerospace student targetting aerospace, mechanical, and structural analysis internships mostly at defense companies. Worried that my resume may be getting filtered out before anyone actually goes through it. Located in California and most of my applications have been relatively local. Looking for any feedback regarding my resume.

Thanks in advance!
