3 YOE Developer — Not Getting Interview Calls. What Would You Do in My Position?
​
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some outside perspective because I feel like I'm missing something.
I have around 3 years of professional experience building web applications using PHP, Python, JavaScript, and SQL. I've also built backend projects with FastAPI on my own.
I've been applying for Python/backend roles, but I'm not getting any interview calls.
I've attached an anonymized version of my resume.
If you were in my position, what would you do next?
- Is my experience the problem, or is it how I've presented it?
- Is my resume enough for someone with ~3 years of experience?
- Should I spend time building better projects, contributing to open source, learning different technologies, improving my resume, or something else entirely?
- If you were a hiring manager, what would make you pass on my resume?
I'm not looking for reassurance—I genuinely want to know what the biggest gap is and where I should invest my time over the next few months.
I'd appreciate honest feedback. Thanks!
