I took a look at your resume to see if I would have relevant work for you but doesn't seem like it.

Maybe having vibecoding listed as a skill on your resume is a problem?

Alarm bells also go off when I see "Github (advanced)"

While you are powerless to change it I would also be concerned reviewing this resume as with the sole exception of your consultancy your longest tenure anywhere is just two years.

thanks. this is the fifth iteration of my resume in this last year's search. im clearly trying to push for ai-coding, as i think i was often overlooked for being too 'trad'. in reality im all-in on ai.

I understand that and from the rest of your writing on your site that very much shows. I use AI professionally to great avail. Personally, I wouldn't put something similar in tone on my resume and when I review resumes this language is not something I'm looking for either.

I'll point out that what is your reality in your job market might be far different from mine. I'm in Europe.

I try to screen out people who come across as zealots or dogmatic about just about anything. Everything could have it's time and place - PHP included ;)

I look for people who are pragmatic and doubt I represent the "people who are hiring pool" to a great extent. But I am hiring and I can just tell you what I see here and how I see it.

I am not sure if this will help you, but have an extended, deep conversation with ChatGPT about your resume. Tell it who you are, what you excel at, and list projects and technologies. Then, paste a couple of the job postings that did not work for you.

This might sound silly to you, but it absolutely works, because it will distill your experience better, ask you to re-arrange and generalize, and more importantly, it is far superior to us in finding unique key word combinations that work.

I suggest putting vibecoding into the search bar on HN or YouTube to look at the critical side of how it's perceived, I'm not a professional coder but based on hanging out here it seems somewhat looked down on by some? I'm guessing it's like how loads of people use chatgpt to draft emails but would prefer you didn't know or think it's a positive (again I'm not a professional coder, so best analogy I had)

There are a lot of small companies with home built software they need maintained. Go to the small businesses with the largest building's in your area. They have something whipped up they need fixed, expanded, etc.
