You need to condense your bullets. Merge them and keep the highest impact ones. Your ~2 YOE doesn’t warrant that many bullet points. Add a project section and awards section, if applicable, with the remaining space

#

Capitalize “Programming Languages” and “Version Control” in the skills section

#

Node is really Node.js

#

Consult the official documentation for any language or framework

Sure thing, I should have been more clear. The official documentation contains the official name of the framework and you would always want to use that name on a resume. For example, since the Node.js documentation refers to it as Node.js, use that verbatim

Thanks! That's kind of what I assumed but just wanted to make sure. Totally makes sense to me. Anything else you'd like to share?

The dates on your jobs aren’t aligned the same

#

If you make a new draft ping me and I’ll take a look

#

Also review STAR for your bullet points. Check the pinned forum post. All your bullets should begin with a strong action verb too

@fading sedge Hey! Thank you so much for your help. The dates not being aligned could be because I changed the company name. In my real one they are aligned. But thanks for checking! Also I put some more work and here's the updated version. Please take a look and let me know what you think!

"Successfully implemented and integrated 10+ features, including functionality for @ mention, image upload and text editor, using third-party APIs and packages"

  • Use oxford comma after and
  • text editor -> text editing

Company Two

  • You still have Node listed instead of Node.js
  • You say "Cloud Functions". Which cloud service is it a part of? Include it

Projects

  • Your bullet points end in a period. Remove the periods since your other bullets don't have them
  • NONE of the bullets follow STAR. They should follow the same format as the ones under professional experience

These are the items I noticed at a glance
