I was able to land a job as a software engineer back in October 2022, but I believe I am ready to move companies and hopefully find a company that can pay me better/fairly. I was going to try and wait til I had at least one year of experience under my belt, but recently I had a recruiter reach out to me for a junior position that was open so I thought I should at least start sending my resume out. As of lately, I have applied to MANY positions, but received not even a call back from any of the companies that I have applied to. Any suggestions as to how I can make my resume look better for at least a chance to get a call from a recruiter?

why are the experience bullet points round and then u have dashes in projects

#

i would categorize ur skills section so its not just a block of text

#

can u increase the font size? its tiny and u have room to do so

#

the subheader for ur experience is messy

#

u should split the position name/compant/location/dates into another line and not jammed into one

#

u use numbered dates in the experience and then go off and use abbreviated month name and full year in ur projects

#

things like this make the resume seem kindve “lazy” and that you didnt really try a lot. I would go back through the resume and ensure ur formatting is consistent and easy to understand and follow
