Unfortunately you are going about your question the wrong way.
Outside of what pg5 user already mentioned, there is probably only 1 more thing you can do.
Employers want problem solvers and people with skills. You may not be able to offer that just yet.
So, you need to instead demonstrate you are worthy of investment. That you are hungry to learn.
That is generally not a quality or a byline on a resume.
Being worthy of investment is to be demonstrated. Think about that.
Its all about behaviors, not skills: Open source contributions, going the extra mile, hustle, and grit.
- quickthrower2 5y agoFor a small software company or startup application, a cover letter with something personalised to that company would stand out. I’m thinking spend 15 minutes in the dev console, spot something that can be improved or optimised or maybe a security issue, or maybe something elegant the site does or just list their tech stack, then mention it in a constructive way and that’s show a lot of initiative plus the kind of skills you’d need. If it doesn’t work the bonus is you’d learn something in that time and every thing practical you learn becomes an interview question you can answer well down the line.
