Hey, I graduated in August and struggling to get interviews. I could use some resume advice please. Thanks.

I don’t really like the idea of first project second project third

#

I don’t know how anyone else feels about it but an actual name would be better to look at that numbered projects

#

i think those are just placeholder names

#

i would hope those arent the name of the actual projects. I was giving benefit of the doubt 🙂

#

the format itself is a little funky i think

#

i think u should change toa different format. Checkout some of the ones in the pinned post

#

Yeah they’re placeholders, sorry lol. Was trying to anonymize it. I removed all the work experience so far.

#

where can i find the pinned posts? i clicked the pin on the top and its empty. or do you mean on actual reddit?

Thanks

#

But in terms of my bullet points, any suggestions?

wide zinc Dec 8, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

some of the projects look like tutorials you followed ngl to you

#

otherwise the bullets are fine.

#

Third fourth and fifth project are school projects. Rest are personal, but even for every project the code is my own. With the exception of my spring security configs :/

wide zinc Dec 8, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

thats fine. The projects are good and the bullets are good

#

do u have a new version with different format?

#

i used the jake's format since it was pretty close to mine. i didnt put the start-finish for university because i technically only went there from may - august. i accelerated after transferring in

#

also i removed all irrelevant work experience, and changed font size from 10 to 12 to make up for the whitespace lol

#

go back to the other bulletpoint u had for the “open weathermap api” bullet. The one u have now was a regression in quality

#

reduce the left margin, why are the bullets starting a quarter into the page

#

i would argue to add at least one work experience and drop ur weakest project. More projects != better. Showcase some work experience as well so u can show off soft skills.

#

yeah those margins were terrible. i didnt even really realize it, i guess it was the auto indent.

i also changed the two bulletins on the first project:

• Consumes API requests to filter a user’s search by the type of service needed and or zip code
• Retrieves all posts associated with a user’s account to allow CRUD operations after successful authentication

to the "Consume API requests to Spring Boot developed backend"

#

should i change it back as well?

wide zinc Dec 8, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

i would combine them

#

well nvm

#

can keep those two the same and yeah put them back

#

I would also remove the “1&2” from ur course work and just keep the standard title

gritty jungle Dec 8, 2022, 4:30 AM

#

#

there was still room before dropping the weakest project, but i took it out. not sure if i should put it back or not. it was the one with just Java and JavaFX - the inventory management

Still getting a ton of rejections :/
