The font in that resume seems really messed up

For the pbr project, remember that projects arent set in stone, you can always polish it up afterwards if it isnt up to your standards

Yeah adding a readme that helps convey what makes the project cool is not difficult

For the education thing, it shouldnt matter too much

imo projects should go above education but I guess it depends on the job (e.g. research oriented roles may care more about that)

it looks like the SpongeBob mocking font
LiKe ThIs

#

Because the character height is uneven or something

#

It's a little jarring but is otherwise readable enough : D

Okay, I think I see what you mean

I dunno if it's an issue with the font or the renderer

#

I've seen it once before though. I forgot where

It was the resolution of the screenshot.

#

A bit concerning but idk. It looks ok up close.

Alright, sorry for the detour 😄

#

Your resume looks very well put-together btw

#

Again, the main thing I'd consider changing is putting your education below the projects (but above the less-important skills section) since it doesn't demonstrate skill as much as the projects do

ancient beacon
#

Yeah, I think I will try to do that.

If you have room at the end of the document, consider cramming another bullet or two into your projects

I've heard some companies have automatic filters, so the skills section is mainly there to make sure my resume goes through. Like if the advert mentions SQL skills, I'll inlcude SQL in the skills section. For whatever it's worth.
