Hi!
I am a software engineer with 3 years of professional experience in Android mobile apps development. I live in Poland and I have graduated from uni with a Bachelor of Computer Science in February. I am working on a mobile app in KMM that will be released to play store in about a month, as my personal side project. Additionally I have the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam in two weeks. The app I am working on follows all the good principles of clean MVVM architecture and bunch of fancy coding concepts that are used in large scale commercial apps. My point being that I can definitely show that my engineering skills are at a high level.
Problem is that I barely know any Japanese at this point. Only some very basic grammar and about a 100 vocabulary or so. Definitely not enough to communicate. I have applied to probably about 300 jobs in Tokyo since February, with absolutely zero luck at all. Not even a single interview or assignment. I have also tried sites like job-draft.jp findy-code.io and gtalent.jp with similar results.
I come to think that my CV is the problem, because I've heard of people getting it jobs in Japan without knowing Japanese or even without experience. From what I read on the internet, a CV for Japanese company should be more concise, and contain less "bragging" than that for a western company. I don't have the personal project and that AWS certification listed yet, because it's not ready yet. I am not sure if it will make that much of a difference, since as I said there are people getting jobs without any experience, I heard.
I couldn't upload an image, but here's a link to my CV on a google drive. Please roast it without holding back. Especially looking for feedback from foreigners in Japan working in IT fields, but any opinion/criticism is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Tried tokyodev.com and japan-dev.com as well. I am checking the new offers and applying daily.
