Did you only freelance for a march and then stop?

your bullet points are kinda lenghty so i would try to resolve that

true dunno why i didnt think of that, any other recommendations?
plain stream
Certification of completion is useless and not an actual cert no one wants to see that it’s actually bad to have that on your resume
Your experience doesn’t warrant 2 pages even for Junior dev usually you would need 2 yoe and probably 2 jobs to have 2 pages because if not the recruiter won’t waste time reading it
Your bullet point are lengthy as if you think by going into details the projects will sound more impressive but in reality everyone has projects the recruiter doesn’t care you need to be concise and leave room for imagination and they will as for more details in the interview
You have no skill section that’s mean the bot will miss a lot of your skills and throw you resume in the trash bin
But I hate to break it to you man
You are not even junior level SWE
Your projects are well I didn’t see you hyperlink any GitHub link so I assume they are just basic projects CS majors do on the side
Everyone have that
Bare minimum
Usually more but they just choose 3 that relate to the jd to save time
Free lancing is good if you have a portfolio with multiple projects and if you have a link to the freelance platform with verifiable profile and good reviews
All your stuff is mostly front end idk why you would call yourself full stack
No databases (SQL, non SQL, key value cache)
No foundational language like Java, Python and C/C++ (meaning you probably didn’t practice data structures, no way you did it using JavaScript)
No cloud services deployment (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud)
No certification
No bootcamp
No CS degree
I don’t think you would have a good time even if the market was easy like in late 2021 to early 2022
Sorry man
Here man I will help you out https://roadmap.sh/
People here probably cringed when you called yourself full stack and then see your resume so they didn’t respond. I don’t even consider myself front end or backend or DevOps for that matter because I don’t think I have far a long enough to put any of that role on my profile

- perscholas was a bootcamp
- i heard skill sections were a bad thing so i removed it
- on resumes ive seen they dont have github links to the projects so i didnt add them
- you absolutely can study data structures in JavaScript the fact you said that you cant makes no sense
the first project on there is full stack and ive done fullstack projects in the past they are just old so i didnt add them
youre right though i prob shouldnt of said fullstack if i only have one project on my resume thats fullstack but in reality i can do full stack i just only have on project in my resume thats fullstack
