Time for a new resume update. Since I joined SEEK, I did not write here much 😭. I spent my time on day to day work, so public posts stopped. Now I am updating my resume to include the work I've done for now. I passed the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification. It was challenging for me because I needed to balance work time and study time. But it was really worth it. I managed to fill some AWS knowledge gaps: main AWS services I did not really know before because they were not relevant for my past work or I never had a use case. I highlight this certification in my resume to show I can use cloud services, which now is a must-have skill for every web software engineer. Next, I added my SEEK roles and achievements. SEEK is the biggest company I have joined so far, and I learned a lot there, especially about working with people. Soft skill is harder to write, so I hope to show my maturity working with people during interviews and conversation. I also included some highlights from the SEEK teams. SEEK is mostly TypeScript, Node.js, and React, so I felt at…
I was on a job hunt in early January 2021, so it's time to revise my resume. As per the last resume review, I did this résumé following this very concise guide from the freecodecamp blog. But this time, I also paid a friend that is quite senior in the IT industry to review my resume. He asked me to highlight more on achievements rather than just work that is done. Follow the X-Y-Z formula. My friend also advises me to add a summary. Honestly, I did not put much thought into it, I just write up a quick paragraph summarizing my background and what are my strength. It is quite easy for me to know my strength since at Vase we have one-on-one sessions where I can ask for feedback. Working at Vase or possibly any early to mid-stage startup is recommended if you want to get your hands dirty on multiple things at once. For most of my interview sessions, I can talk a lot about my experience, challenges, what new things I learn, and how I contribute to the company. I am proud of working at Vase and will be forever thankful they took me when I…
Let us review my 2019 résumé before I quit my job at PetChem. I did this résumé following this very concise guide from freecodecamp blog. As I am changing my career from a non-tech to a software engineer, I want to emphasize what can I do by listing my projects first. My advice for Computer Science graduates, better put your qualifications on top, do not follow me. HabitBot was an idea from my friend, who needs to be disciplined by having a telegram bot remind his everyday schedule. The habits can be added via the web application or by the bot. The bot was taken down since I am not using that bot anymore. The work process dashboard was one attempt to simplify my daily task at my previous job. I need to track a lot of documents in various stages, therefore I built a web application with a dashboard to easily report to management. So far both of these project I built using Django, because that time, I just finished the Python Crash Course book and was familiar with Django. Belajar Python Bot, now in its 3rd iteration, previously was using Serverless framework, then I rewrote it using Flask…
