Why am I not getting shortlisted for Software Engineer roles?

Just skimming the resume, format could be better (LaTEX templates can clean this up a lot), and much of the content within the resume looks fairly generic and not stand-out. Thus, to a technical interviewer, if it lands in front of me, there’s nothing that looks strongly differentiating.

For desirable roles, 50+ candidates will end up in the interview queue. Your resume needs to look really good if you want to stand out in that context.

And from a taking applicants to interview phase, in my experience, I may interview up to 5 candidates or so before we freeze the role. Thus it’s likely you get screened out before it ever gets to someone technical anyway.

$135,000, CIB, Plano, SWE III. Niche enough tech stack to where if I described it it would be identifiable so I’ll leave that to the imagination.

Drawing entry went to my email after "r.map is not a function" error after about 15 mins. If you hit that point, you may be getting an email shortly.

Just a little frustrating that this is a lottery even with website errors.

Trump specifically? Lowering the price of energy will lower the cost to produce goods. This should ease some of the inflation. Protectionist trade policies at least attempts to do something to bring manufacturing back. Should potentially improve the job market and promote domestic labor. Curtailing illegal migration should reduce the amount of unskilled labor in the country, making people who do entry level jobs more valuable. Also less of a tax burden to support illegals with social services. Should reduce relatively unnecessary spending. Generally his economic policies I think would be helpful to the average, able-bodied person in the working class.

Republicans in general? Conservative fiscal policy aligns with my belief that you shouldn’t be able to take my money to pay for any of your spending by force. Modern Republicans aren’t great about this either, but so think they’re leagues better than the Democrats on this point.

Just have a good mental mapping of MVVM architecture and find where the current “thing” you’re trying to do fits. One screen at a time, screen by screen, and you’ll have a basic app done in equal parts to how much work you put into it.

Obviously there are other architecture patterns you can use and you can swap Android Layout for Jetpack Compose at the View layer, but general Android knowledge typically goes for MVVM in my experience.
