#Am I going in the right direction? (I know it's too long right now)

I am aware it is currently two pages. I just went with mostly the default formatting of a template. If I change the margins to be way smaller and write some cut some things it should fit on one page.

What I would like feedback on is if the content is going in the right direction. Is there anything missing? What parts should I cut? When it comes to work experience, I am definitely a junior, but I have made quite some smaller personal projects, so I would like to refer to many of them to show I have development experience - just not a lot of professional work.

Is this template ATS friendly?

#

All the important stuff are on the second page: skills, work experience, education.

#

Remove the interested in section from skills, that will not get you hired.

#

Remove half of the projects. Keep only those that supports the skills you are trying to sell (most relevant for job ads you are applying).

#

Remove the "I"s. I developed X -> Developed X

#

Remove the I took a third year course at first year line from studies.

#

Keep in mind is that a CV is not a collection of things you are proud of, but something that should be relevant for the employeer and would get you in to the first interview.

#

So it must show value for the company.

Alright, thank you

#

In the end this should become a single page, so I did not pay attention to what goes on the first/second page

#

As that is temporary

#

But as a first step I decided to try listing everything that might be related

#

thank you once more for the feedback

#

Also, I am so new to this I didn't even realise ATS is really important, super helpful info
