Happy Monday!
A little piece of advice:
If your GitHub profile is (almost) empty, DO NOT include it on your resume. It’s a waste of the recruiter’s time. But more importantly, it doesn’t make your resume/candidacy more attractive!

A little piece of advice:
Before applying for jobs, ensure the links in your resume, including your LinkedIn profile URL, are clickable (or at least copyable) so that recruiters and hiring managers can check them out quickly.

Here's a little tip for those of you who are serious about the international job search.
If you're applying for a job with the description written in English, apply with a resume in English.
It seems like such an obvious thing to say, but we have to continually repeat it as we often see our users - international job seekers - uploading resumes in local languages.
What is the likelihood that a hiring manager/recruiter of, for instance, a German company knows Greek, for example?
That's a rhetorical question.

How do you know if your target company is open to hiring (tech) talent from abroad?
Here are some tips from our team:
1️⃣ The first (and simplest) thing you can do is to scan its Careers page and vacancies for keywords like "visa" and "relocation." They indicate the employer's willingness to consider international candidates.
2️⃣ Look through the employees listed on the company's LinkedIn page. If you notice foreign hires among them, it's a positive sign. Furthermore, foreigner-friendly companies often highlight having an international team/employees from multiple countries on their websites, social media profiles, and vacancy pages.
3️⃣ Pay attention to the language used in job openings. If a position requires knowledge of the local language or is posted exclusively in the local language, it's likely that the company isn't (actively) seeking candidates from abroad. On the other hand, job postings open to international applicants are typically in English, with knowledge of the local language considered a plus rather than a requirement.
4️⃣ Search for relevant public lists. For instance, the official website of the Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) provides a list of recognized sponsors of the Highly Skilled Migrant permit in the Netherlands. On the GOV.UK site, you can find a list of UK employers licensed to sponsor a Skilled Worker visa. Conduct a Google search to discover similar resources.
5️⃣ Check out our International Job Search Handbook on GitHub. We maintain a list of companies that hire internationally. By the way, if you haven't already, give the repository a ⭐ star.
Lastly, we'd like to remind you that we have a blog post that covers finding unadvertised yet very alive jobs that offer relocation by using good old Google Google 🔍 and Boolean search operators.
That’s it for today 🙂

How can you improve your developer #resume quickly?
Strengthen experience descriptions!
Beyond listing technical competencies and job history, it is increasingly vital to emphasize the impact you have made in your role.
Emphasizing impact communicates your ability to think beyond lines of code. Modern software development is not confined to technical prowess alone; it involves collaboration, problem-solving, and a keen understanding of the end-user needs.
✅ Begin by clearly stating the specific achievement or task and provide quantitative data whenever possible to highlight the extent of the impact.
✅ Start all your bullet points with strong action verbs in the past tense. Make sure to vary these verbs so you do not sound repetitive.
✅ If you haven't already, describe your experiences in bullet-point form.
Take a look at the difference 👇
