I just updated my resume with 1 more project and some small modifications. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

Note: I do not think the bullet points for my latest project are good. Would appreciate any recommendations for it.

I'm no pro at this resume thing, but I think the general advice for job descriptions is to list what actions you took, and then list what resulted from them. In your 2 jobs under the "Experience" section, it looks like you are mix & matching the order.

A note that I got from a recent CV clinic that JPM had was that your CV needs to convey some personal characteristics too since many companies are willing to teach you the hard skills, but often struggle to figure out if you are someone that they and their teams are willing to work with.

From your CV I get that you have good experience with web dev and that is it. What else interests you? What are the things that you and your co workers will bond over? Put something there that if the recruiter sees it they can ask you about in an interview, other than another web dev project. If you want to keep to 1 page drop some of the projects, having 1 less project will not make you look less experienced.

ps. the example they gave was someone had 1 line at the bottom under interests that said: I juggle and then they brought juggling balls to the interview with them.

Probably different for the field too?
