Original topic: 转行dba或运维写简历，有大佬帮忙看看吗，感觉问题很大啊
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 (from an average school). Last year, I worked in a manufacturing company, mainly writing some internal scripts and customized scripts for the company. Since the company deals with smart cards, the technology used is completely unrelated to the outside world, so I feel that this work experience does not help me in my current career transition. I have also studied MySQL, including migration and clustering, and have watched videos and practiced them. I have also learned MongoDB, used Redis in university projects, and know a bit of Java. Now I want to transition to operations or DBA roles. Can any experts help me review my resume or provide internal referrals?
If you switch to operations, you can send your resume for review. It’s relatively easy to get started in operations (though it gets harder as you go deeper). I suggest starting with entry-level operations.
The projects were all done while studying Java before graduation. I haven’t worked on any projects since then, so it feels like a waste. As a result, I find it difficult to write my resume. Could you please take a look and help me out?
Thank you for your reply. I have sent my resume to another expert in the previous reply. If you have time, please take a look. Thanks.
First, determine your goal: do you want to switch to system operations or DBA operations? If it’s DBA, this resume lacks some standout points. The professional skills are relatively shallow and there are too many listed without focus. You should highlight three key points and briefly mention the rest.
I want to become a DBA, but DBA positions are hard to find, so I am preparing to look for both DBA and operations roles. I thought having development skills would add some points.
To do operations, you need to understand the system. I suggest you start with development and then transfer to a dedicated DBA role within the same company. This approach is relatively simpler. It is quite difficult to find a dedicated DBA directly now, and your work experience is not sufficient to support you in immediately becoming a professional DBA.
Because I haven’t done any development for almost a year. The last time I did development was for my graduation project, so I didn’t plan to look for opportunities in this area. Development is quite competitive, and I encountered an infinite loop.
First, recognize what you are capable of doing. If you are not skilled, attend training sessions. Then, consider what you want to do and look for related job positions.
Okay, thank you. I’ll first think about which direction is easier to enter the industry, and then consider the direction for long-term development.
The overall environment is not good. I suggest you hold on for now. It won’t hinder your learning. Switching directly without relevant experience is something most companies would consider carefully, right? Even if a company accepts you, the compensation might not be ideal since they think you need training and development. Focus on accumulating experience. With three years of experience, it’s easier to switch and negotiate better terms. If you really want to switch, you can first jump between card manufacturers like Goldpac, Chutian Dragon, and Eastcompeace.
I have already resigned, hahaha. Indeed, these few companies are paper card companies, and there are really very few such companies.
Welcome to join the competition.
First, learn the knowledge of TiDB. Before finding a job, take free courses and obtain all the certifications you can.
First, improve yourself. Once you have the strength, you won’t have to worry about opportunities. However, the most important thing is to set a goal and a study plan.
It depends on which industry you want to develop in. If you have just graduated, do you want to join the competitive internet industry, or go into finance or manufacturing? You need to think it through. In the beginning, accumulating experience is very important.
It is recommended to focus on the choice of industry.
In the resume section, you should find ways to highlight some achievements in your work or projects. For example, what problems did you solve by writing scripts? What work efficiencies did you improve? And so on.
Yes, it’s really difficult now.
