Would be great to get some tips or best places to brush up on interview skills. also here is my cv: seanoneill.me/cv.pdf
First, network as much as possible. I primarily used meetup.com to find events where I could meet people. You don't have to limit yourself to only software-related meetups, either. You can bring a lot of value to the other people at an event because you're the only software person in the room.
Second, stop applying to jobs, and start stalking companies. Rank every single company in Cork (and anywhere you're willing to relocate to) that needs what you have. Decide which ones you really want to work at, and stalk them. Learn about the company, the leadership, the team you might work in, and the technologies you would use if you worked there. Find out where they hang out, and start hanging out there. Ask for an informational interview. These can be way more powerful than a formal interview.
Third, once you find out what technologies your favorite companies use, start learning those. It will give you a focus and purpose to your learning which will make it more joyful and productive.
Applying for jobs always felt like a slow death to me. I hated it. I call my method "Company Hunting" because you're not just looking for a job, you're looking for an entire company to be apart of, and to add value to. It feels much more focused and intentional to me.
PS if you feel you really need help with your resume, interview skills, etc, you may consider paying for a career coach. If you land a job 3 months sooner because of them, think of that career coach as giving you 3 months of salary.
Was your most recent training about devops? Is there nothing from it that you can pull out in your skills list? Devops is hot right now and you are in a hosting hotspot.
I'd apply to smaller companies and gov departments or internally at your current one. Talk to your manager and if no luck hr at your current place.
You could try putting your degree in the header, and then unifying education and training into a single section. Also add some words on the training saying what you learned. I can't what level the post degree training was at from this and it is wierd android or aws are not in your skills list so maybe you didn't like the courses but put that stuff .
Anyway good luck, first job in a given field is the hardest.
You should be able to add android and java to your skills list.
I suggested devops because if you have that training and know those tools there is a skills shortage so it is an opportunity to easily get recruited and overlaps with software dev.
