FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I still need to know Java in 2025 if I write Kotlin?

You should be able to read it, since most production codebases still have legacy Java modules. But writing new features in Java is rarely required anymore.

Do I need a published Play Store app for my first job?

Not strictly, but it's a huge differentiator at the junior level. One side project with sane architecture and a couple of working features goes a long way.

Should I list Compose or XML layout experience?

List both if you have both. Compose is the default for new projects, but XML is still everywhere in large apps, so the experience is valued.

How many bullets per role on the CV?

4-6 bullets for your most recent role, 2-3 for older ones. Every bullet should carry a metric or concrete outcome, not just 'worked on tasks'.
