For every 10 jobs I post this to, I get one response. For ever 5 responses, one phone interview comes out of it. For every 10 phone interviews, I get one invitation to interview in person. In the past year, I've had maybe 6 or 7 in person interviews. Not a single job offer. I have completely no idea why I have such a hard time getting s job. I am at a point in my ife where I think it is time for a big change. I am considering hanging up my programmer hat. As much as I love programming, there is something I'm missing that is preventing me from doing this as a job. People always repeat on here and other software communities that if you are a programmer who has even a very very very basic grasp of engineering that people will literally throw job offers at you. I have to beg companies to hire me, and I get nowhere. I'm starting to put two and two together. I much not be a programmer with a modicum of skill.
What I want to know: When you look at my resume, what do you see? Do you see someone who appears to know how to program? Do you see anything that I need to badly change about my resume? Most pf my experience is writing code by myself. The majority of my experience is on personal projects. My job history is very patchy (I havent been really employed since April 2012), so I have left that out.
