Bad, read the pinned post and remake it from scratch
wind island
Why's bad??

Why's bad??
Remove the skill level section and just make a list of the skills without the bars. You can read the rational behind this in the pinned section.
The preferred working hours and location is not necessary.
It is better to use a template, like the ones in the pinned post than making your own template.
potent flame
well u should also change your template
everything thats not in the templates in the pinned post isnt needed
wind island
Doesn't special template stand out more in the recruiter eyes
cursive ferry
If you wanna stand out just add an accent color or something. It depends on where you are from I guess, but I’m pretty sure the skill bars would be in poor taste anywhere. You can make your resume stand out without having it be so over the top graphically
autumn lantern
skill bars generally dont make much sense anyway
what does it mean to be 👌 this close away from being 100%?
whats considered 100%
whata considered 90%? lol
its all subjective and means just about nothing

your resume says senior, but you only have two years of experience ?🤔

your resume says senior, but you only have two years of experience ?🤔
Senior Web Developer with zero professional web development experience
OPs resume is a masterclass in everything not to do when writing and designing one
wind island
I know it's so shit no wonder why I can't get a job
Changing it and updating it here soon
tardy belfry
Make it one page and remove the headshot.
Are you a senior web developer? It seems that you have 2.5 YOE.
unique sonnet
No you didnt
The template is still bad
There are too many spelling and grammatical errors to count
Go look for examples of good resumes and follow one of them

No. Not so you can keep this same visually unappealing and impossible to parse through any ATS version

get rid of the certifications, no one cares about those
then it'll all be one page, which is what you want
you can fill out your work experience descriptions if you need more
wind island

i mean, did you learn anything useful?
also why did you bold stuff like "marriage system"
autumn lantern
^ rsps’ are very.. niche
doesnt help 99% of recruiters as they will not know what that is or even understand why that may or may not be cool
also i would be wary of listing something like that as i think it’s technically illegal for private servers to be made and what not so.

U think I should keep it or not tho
Just in case anyone understands it
summer jungle
you should put a better project on there
you want something that recruiters understand
wind island
Any examples?
summer jungle
not something that makes 99% of them thjnk "wtf is this"
wind island
I don't have anyblther but I will try make one
summer jungle
plenty of project ideas if you just do a little research
wind island
I don't Wana slap like typical projects
Alarm clock
And fb clone or what not
They useless I heard
To put YouTube stuff
summer jungle
what do you think recruiters are looking for in projects?
what do you think they're looking for when they look at resumes?
the most unique resume with the most unique esoteric projects?
wind island
I don't know tbh
summer jungle
maybe try putting yourself in their shoes
autumn lantern
u dont need to recreate the next google
just something that shows your skill and isnt a rip off of a tutorial
wind island
autumn lantern
can think about some problems u experience in ur every day life
wind island
So this is good project ideas?
autumn lantern
no
if theres a tiktok thats saying what projects to make, guarantee its not complex enough
just think about what problems u experience in ur everyday life
or some fun ideas to aid in any hobbies etc
autumn lantern
2d games are not bad at all
up to u how much work u wanna put into increasing ur chances at a job though
wind island
I'm thinking
About gym workout tracker
So u log in your workouts
Most people use nowadays excel cuz shitty apps
Lack most important features trainers want
Maybe I could slap the most basic and important stuff
And generate design through ai and use it
autumn lantern
well.. the point if projects is also to try and learn.. real world skills.. so
i would actually.. try a little lol
summer jungle
you should make web dev project
summer jungle
since you're trying to claim web dev
that's also what recruiters will be looking for if you are applying to web dev jobs
wind island
A simple clean workout, powerful tracker
summer jungle
because they are looking for web devs

2d games are not bad at all

i created a pacman game using python for a school project, was fun and easy enough
plenty of other libraries as well
i think theres some javascript / html library for 2d games too
wind island
I wanna try using
Pygame
Maybe with pyopengl too
Heard good liberaires for 2d games
So 2d game and workout planner
That's two ideas
autumn lantern
@waxen pendant do u have anything of importance to add?
waxen pendant
Give up!

@wind island swap the order of your positions under Experience
Also, you have the IT one listed going until Oct 2023... Are you planning on quitting it next month?
Why are data structures and operating systems listed under programming languages
The formatting and spacing of the certs should be cleaned up so your resume fits all into one page

I meant August 😅I already quit I fix it
wind island
Why are data structures and operating systems listed under programming languages
Where should I put them? Or just delete them
wind island
The formatting and spacing of the certs should be cleaned up so your resume fits...
I will do that, put them in better format so its one page
unique sonnet
Some of them are less useful than others
wind island
I also started my project on web based app for workout planning
And I'm gonna use JSON, learning it
Python plus JSOn
unique sonnet
Like the coding interview one and version control one could (should?) be removed
wind island
Okay so remove those two and format the rest better so fit one page
wind island
Why are data structures and operating systems listed under programming languages
These two what I do with them
unique sonnet
Leave them off
wind island
Leave them off
u mean delete them?
unique sonnet
Yes
wind island
:*( yes sir

learning it for my new project
wind island
<@1062046871054458940> swap the order of your positions under Experience

The opposite of what you have now
wind island

Do you have anymore projects and exam results showing proficiency in other languages?
wind island

but they are bagruts (country exams)
no one cares about them cuz like u cant get degree if u dotn have them
and i have degree
so they know
unlike english
projects i dont
im working on one now
tardy belfry
Which country are you going to work in?
wind island
israel
tardy belfry
I am not familiar with Israel perception of language tests. However you should add more/do more projects.
And check spacing on your bullets they are inconsistent.

This looks way better than your first resume.
