Trying to format my resume well.

please review the items in the pinned post for proper styling and formatting. This can be seen in the example resume located at the bottom of the post as well as the google doc

I'm using a format from Apple Pages, do you suggest doing it in something else?

Thanks for the feedback- I'm rewriting it in Overleaf and I'll send another comment.

I rewrote it! I also have some extra space which I could use to write a job I had in food service for about 2 months before I left, or another project I did (which is very similar to my Pacman project). Any thoughts?

#

Also, should I flip my experience and projects in order?

#

I also can mention I'm an Eagle Scout, but I wouldn't be sure where to put it.

Use numbers instead of words. "fifty" -> 50
You can create a "leadership" section for eagle scout

I feel that the main problem here is the lack of impact (along with lack of content in general). Why did you write those python scripts? Did it save time? If so, how much? Why did you choose specific technologies for your project? How fast was that algorithm in the pacman game? Quantify it.

A good project tells employers "I can do x y z"
A great project/experience tells employers "I can do x y z that improves a business, and I can do it at your company"

You also have to do more about your white space

could add a project or two or some open source related

Thank you for the feedback. Can I ask what you mean by how fast the Pacman algorithm is, like can I write big O or just write realtime?

Technically, the algorithm is O(n), where n is the number of milliseconds the algorithm executed before receiving the button press. So if it went to 1000 milliseconds, and a button press came in at 750 milliseconds, it would have to re-run the game loop for 250 milliseconds. But I don't entirely know how to phrase it. In real gameplay, there wouldn't be any slowdown.
