In summary, I have many strengths such as determination, teamwork and willingness to learn that can help me achieve my goal of becoming a Java developer. However, the lack of professional experience in IT and the level of English pose challenges. It is worth continuing your education, actively looking for a job and developing my skills to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the developing IT market. My many years of exemplary work in another industry and the nature of a stable and dutiful person – may be a valuable feature for a new employer.
