Just to counter all the advice in this thread:

my personal website was whole 2 pages of static content (landing page with not much content + 1 blog article) until very recently, and hosted under .github.io domain (bought a custom domain only recently), and it very quickly became top-3 google search under my name.

However I think the problem here might be due to using .mk domain and Google thinking that it's not very international. Note that when you search on https://www.google.mk/?hl=mk then it shows up on the first page.

Getting .com/.net/.io and putting just a bit more unique content is probably a good way to get started. Put a 301 redirect from old domain to the new one. Put a link on LinkedIn etc. if not done yet. Then just be patient.
