I've been a freelancer web developer for the past two years and haven't done any actually work. I want to know how I should list this on my resume. Here is what it looks like without the bullets actually listed
Work Experience
Various Clients - Remote/Online May 2013-current Freelance Web Developer
* Bullet Point 1
* Bullet Point 2
* Bullet Point 3
* Bullet Point 4
* Bullet Point 5
* Bullet Point 6
* Bullet Point 7
I don't list who any of the clients are because I've had so many of them. I'd look like a job hopper by doing something like this
Company A Aug 2014
Company B Aug 2014 - Sep 2014
Company C Sep 2014 - Oct 2014
I also can't have a resume that's more than 1 page long.
I'm not getting any interviews probably because of this. But what can I do to fix this? What is advisable?
List yourself as a freelance web developer, your experience underneath. If you have had any notable clients I would add them as part of the job description *Working with company XYZ
If you're a freelancer, it's not necessary (nor advisable) to list your clients, unless you did not sign a non-disclosure and they are notable enough to be worth mentioning. So yes, list Nike or HGTV (provided no agreement not to disclose), but leave out Bob's Hardware Store. My resume looks like this:
Freelance Copywriting
*Created engaging blog entries relevant to each client's target readership.
*Crafted unique, compelling web content for 20 websites in the home improvement industry.
*Collaborated with a design team and provided copy for brochures in the health, real estate, home and garden, and law industries.
*And so on
