I've worked for myself for 15 years - how to I make that look ok in a CV?! I'm a webby bod so does it come down to just including a load of sites I've done with a bit on what platforms / languages I can use?
Cheers for any help... |  |

Not easy to polish a turd
Much better to roll it in glitter |  | | |

Difficult given the nature of what you've done. Can you start with short paragraphs on specific skills and then add the list in. Perhaps a couple of more detailed examples, where you can elaborate on what you've done, that might or might not be best anonymised.
The overall presentation will incentivise people to have a detailed look anyway.
Oh and delete the bit about which football team you support. |  |

Or at least don't produce the CV in garish yellow and green. |  |

I'm not much good with the CV part, but have you got a portfolio site? They can be very useful. |  |

Yeah knocking it together now - better late than never! Always been too busy before but the work seems to be drying up, maybe because of me or maybe because small businesses often turn to the likes of Wix, squarespace now. Feel like a coal miner in the 80s looking at his industry disappear, or at least my little corner of it.
Thanks too Steve for the advice, like the paragraphs thought, but can't I just have a little yellow and green trim somewhere?!
Also thanks again to the pm people - have to say that people on here are incredibly generous with their knowledge and opinions (as ever). Good people. [Post edited 3 Nov 2017 18:52]

Most dull internet people are freelance aren't they? I am sure the competition will have a similar rubbish resume.
Hope this help. |  | | |

Yeah can be tough that. I've worked for the same company all my career (10 years) it's a very strong resume for any internal promotions and has been but troublesome if I ever wanted to go to an industry competitor. As a lot of it doesn't cross over that well as we operate in a very unique company structure. | | | |

I can imagine. have a mate who works in a very niche area of backroom city functions, but every company does it differently, so often a move had to be sideways to learn the ropes before moving up in that new place.

Web Development is booming but the WordPress website gig does seem to be shrinking somewhat.
I'd still suggest trying to get started with React / Angular, especially if you can knock a sample website together with one for a portfolio. | |

The the trouble with WordPress is its too good / easy to learn. Thanks for the tip - I was thinking of diving into angular for my new personal site oddly enough. Seems to be often mentioned on job adverts at least. | |

A pretty common stack you'll see is Angular with a .NET back end.
Either that or you'll have a fully Javascript stack like React + Node.
Oh and if you're doing Angular, do Angular not AngularJs, as confusing as that sounds. [Post edited 3 Nov 2017 19:18]

Basically, it's out of date and superseded.
They wrote what they called "AngularJS" first and it was super popular.
After React (Facebook's framework) came out, everyone thought AngularJS was a bit old school and slow, which is fair as it was. So the Angular team decided to basically dump AngularJS completely and made Angular. It shares some of the same conventions as AngularJS but is a much more modern framework but is very opinionated when compared with React.
Are you up to date with your later versions of Javascript e.g. ES6? | |

I had a similar situation - worked at the same company for 15 years, then decided to move on. CVs are quite different since I last wrote one.
I found this website quite useful: https://www.reed.co.uk/career-advice/how-to-write-a-cv/
All the best in your new ventures. |  | | |
