Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to change the way you project yourself. Even just from this resume, you're talking yourself down. Who would you hire?
"I wanted to keep track of who/what was visiting my websites. Turns out they were mostly crawlers for search engines. I keep track of IPs and URLs requested, I store them in a MySQL database using PHP"
or
"Wrote an application to process and analyse logfiles across a collection of websites, using a common web application stack. Stores requested IPs and URLs for future analysis. Identified the split of automated search engine crawlers and other bots vs human visitors. Tools and languages used include PHP and MySQL"
Resumes are all about how you present what you've done.
On that point - if you're applying for frontend developer positions, use your skills! Build a cool website to present your resume rather than a plain piece of paper. You'll probably still need the paper, but the first line of it can be "View my resume online at example.com".
- ge96 10y agoThanks for your tips I do have a rough portfolio but it's just projects stacked on top of each other, images... thought about a language sorting thing you know click Javascript to view javascript files, etc... I see your point about the wording. I don't know, yeah I unfortunately am plagued with negativity Portfolio: https://www.cunninghamwebdd.com/portfolio/ https://www.cunninghamwebdd.com/portfolio/
