You can do it like this:
Why? Because writing on dev.to suggests some important things about you to potential employers:
You do more than the ...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Yes, 100% agree. People have been using Twitter, GitHub and LinkedIn in this regard for a while, and feeling like DEV profiles could be much better representations of people's full picture as a candidate was a big driving force in how we developed the platform in the first place.
As a matter of wonderful timing, as of today you can now also use the DEV badge via FontAwesome for personal portfolios etc.
That's huge, yes!
Hey @ben How about a resume generator?
Where did you found statistics about top 7 author and total views?
I'm still curious about it.
Total views is a membership feature. You can see it in the dashboard.
Total views is available on your dashboard if you have a Sustaining Membership.
I don't know if follower count is a membership feature or not. My Top 7 badge appears in my profile, in the right-hand column underneath my GitHub repos.
I haven’t put dev.to specifically on my resume, but my blogging activity definitely has its place there. Agreed with what’s been said on what it tells about your communication skills and commitment. I’ve already received messages from recruiters referring specifically to one of my blog posts, which only confirms the point! That is, if you don’t have a separate blog, dev.to is definitely a good choice — most people out their GitHub on their CV, so why not?
I have this same experience. Regular blogging is a great way to gain attention.
Thanks for the idea Isaac!
I was thinking about mentioning a few of my most popular posts on my resume, but your example is way shorter and would probably fit into a single page (depending on your history).
I can confirm that writing / personal blog and promoting said writing helps a person stand out from peers. Not a requirement of course, but if you want to stand out, write and promote your knowledge.
Myself, I list my professional social accounts (GitHub, StackOVerflow, Dev.to) on my resume. I really believe the "You are your own best cheerleader" mantra.
Thanks for the article Isaac.
Can I get that resume font/template ?
Sure! Email resume@isaaclyman.com and I'll send it to you.
Sent you an email too. 😄
Where can you find those stats i.e. follower count, total views etc? I don't even see an option to see who I am following or who are my followers.
Total views is available on your dashboard if you have a Sustaining Membership.
I don't know if follower count is a membership feature or not. My Top 7 badge appears in my profile, in the right-hand column underneath my GitHub repos.
Thanks, I can find the follower/following list now.
I'll be on the lookout!
Great post!
Do you feel dev.to writing has a place on a Linkedin profile as well? Would you put it under 'Publications', 'Projects', 'Volunteer Experience', somewhere else?
I have put this under Volunteer Experience although it could as well be under Projects. I think Publications is better suited for peer-reviewed academic articles which DEV does not publish (as of now).
Looks nice on my profile as well!
What a great idea :)
Not all companies/hiring managers/recruiters are involved online. Most still ask for paper resume.
If you network, the paper resume is just a formality for HR (in USA).
There should be a free trial of the membership subscription like first-week free :).
I think it's interesting expiriense.
Need more test on a HR's and Employeer's. 🤓
Thanks for your idea!
I think the young as me should actively participate in the communication like this to get more and more knowledge and experiences.
I have a dev story, but so far nobody's asked for it. Recruiters still request my resume.
I did, but do not think anyone reads them anymore. Ppl are so crazy to calculate how many years of React you have 😀
