My advice: forget the word "Senior." They're looking for a developer with something resembling a track record. Failing that, they'll look for a developer with a good approach to solving the problem the program is designed to solve.
If you want to gain experience, you can contribute to an open source project. Assuming those contributions make it to the product, whatever it may be, you could drop that onto a resume. You can also write a utility to make your job easier. For instance, I'm working on a knockoff of ab. It's a great tool, but I don't like the error reporting. So I'm doing a similar tool that gives error reports that I like and can use better. That's me solving a problem I saw. You can do the same thing. Again, that's something you can add to your profile. Think of it as adding to your real world skills. Real World Skill is typically what a recruiter is looking for when they say 'senior.' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
