Hi all.
I've worked as an electrical maintenance engineer for the last 10 years, but electronics engineering was my hobby since I was a kid. Finally, I've realized that there is no point to waste my life on the job I hate (Nevertheless I have great references as a maintenance engineer from all companies I've worked for).
I've done some kind of portfolio and resume and want to send it over to the local electronics design companies. But before that, I would appreciate it if experienced electronics engineers will have a quick look at it. Maybe my portfolio and resume are inadequate and hopeless).
I just want to step into the industry as a very Junior Electronics Engineer before I will be too old. I'm 30 now and have only the electrical engineering qualification from college. BTEC Level 3 (electrical maintenance engineer).

Will be very grateful for any response.
Thank you.
Piotr.

Cool project page.
I'm not an employer and have minimal experience in the field of recruitment. To be honest my CV is quite messy in comparison.
But yours looks quite good to me, other than some things i've noticed, for example:

--- Quote ---.......and passion reviewing me as overqualified for the maintenance job and praising my skills to design and improvement of factory efficiency.
--- End quote ---
Some basic grammar and punctuation mistakes. It also sounds a little bit too much like you're just boasting, like "look how great i am".
You might want to reword it to sound more "neutral" in terms of how you present yourself but without downplaying any achievements, of course.
"reviewing me as overqualified for the maintenance job" - sounds weird.
But let me try to rewrite part of that sentence myself, let's see...
"I have since received high praises from my superiors regarding my skills and work ethic, and have made a significant contribution to workplace efficiency."

--- Quote ---First place in national mechatronics competition.
First place in ship modelling competition.
--- End quote ---
I'd expect to see at least a link to show what the competitions were about, because there is no way to confirm the validity of the claim, neither do i know what those competitions were about.

Would be great to have some people (with more experience under their belt) chime in, as i consider this a learning experience for myself also.

Piotr1991:
Thank you very much for your reply.
After reading your answer, I've noticed that there are a lot of brags in my CV |O
Will rewrite some parts of it. Thank you.

P.S.
Nice idea with the epoxy in repairing 3d printer glass. Will do the same  ;D

Honestly that project page alone would probably be enough for me (if we were *currently* hiring) to bring you in for an interview as a junior engineer.  You might consider showing more software engineering experience - since you've used MCUs in your projects I doubt this will be difficult but e.g. a Github or similar link with sources available looks good.

So I think just brush up your CV as the Fridge suggests and work on your interview skills.

Piotr1991:
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that.
The firmware always was a pain for me. I'm embarrassed to show any source code to be honest. But looks like there is no choice for me other than to sort this out  |O
