I'm just a rando reading through this (and the mirror "Who's Hiring") thread as usual to keep an eye on current trends but if you're looking for recommendations feel free to read below. If not, best of luck on your journey and I hope you have a merry Christmas! I'd say it's pretty hard to get an idea what or how good you are for a certain job. You do list a few technologies but, beyond that, there's not really any example of why someone should bother reaching out to you specifically for a task even if they were reading for an Elixir/Python webdev. Perhaps another direct link to either a traditional resume (can trim away the personal contact/identify info if you'd prefer, since it's a public posting) or a direct link a collection of past projects you think would be relevant example output to a job you'd take (and nothing else in that particular link, that way it's easy to quickly scan through). Nothing against throwing your personal side out front, if you feel that's the easier way to approach things I'm not one with experience in those areas to recommend you do any differently, but convincing the hiring/recommending individual you've got some technical chops in what they need to be worth taking the time to reach out to could possibly benefit. Doesn't make it easy by any means, but hopefully a nudge in a helpful direction :).

I'm with zamadatix and I'm also posting because I hear some pain. Putting yourself out for hire is bloody hard and we all have to do it. I ditched my CV (Brit) about 24 years ago and am the MD of a small IT company but I still have to sell myself as well as my little company. HN's "Who wants to be hired" threads are a pretty decent opportunity. You get eyes on your post from everywhere without it being that MS Linked In wankery. There are no algorithms here, your post goes up or down on old school forum voting. Also, the forum admin patrolling in these parts is rather more efficient than some. I gather that LI is rather important in the US (it isn't here, thankfully) so make the most of HN. So, if you want to be hired, get that CV (resume) in tip top condition and make the best use of these threads. I'm afraid I can't offer anything as exotic as Paris. My firm is in the south west of England, which is generally considered quite rural, except where it isn't. I wish you all the best but please be your best you when presenting yourself in public (I think that makes sense!)
