We have an about the same YOE — I’ve dumped all from my education section minus the degree, year, and school

#

Just gut reaction — bullets are long in your vanguard experience

#

I think you can remove the details about your dynamodb experience (the stuff in the parentheses)

#

I’d also say you could either remove or drastically pare down the Projects section so it fits on one page

#

So many bullets end with one word on a new line, just shorten those slightly and things will tighten up to 1 page

#

By my count you can get rid of ~5 words and get 4 extra lines of space

#

Do you think coursework is needed on a resume at this point? Another 2 lines

#

Unless you're like, a phd who took a hyper specific class that's directly applicable

#

They'll know what CS classes are

#

i just make the updates (there are some big changes)

whole coral
#

its cramped now

#

would consider dropping the project and just focus on the experience

#

the first bullet in experience is kinda vague.. u should consider replacing it with what exactly u did that contributed to 40% of whatever

#

“addressed 13 key issues” same thing, vague statement that helps nobody

#

what benefits did modernizing the platform have

#

“Developed a Lambda application using Java and AWS SDK to ….? for fund transfer adjustments, resulting in ….”

#

“Led the development of an app that allows enabling of self managed account transactions, using SQS and SNS, leading to … from initial discussions to production “

#

idek whats meant by data integrity.. what data

#

i would make the JEST item its own bullet point

#

ur missing the word “using” in first bullet of parabeac

#

2nd bullet in parabeac is talking about 2 different things and doesnt make@much sense together

#

how did he measure development rate in 3rd bullet

#

Very helpful and detailed feedback. Give me some hours to fix this. Ty KJ

#

are you using a standard page size? that looks REALLY small

#

understand the cutting off the top to hide contact info, but it just seems... narrow, like not full letter page size

#

or is the font size large?

mighty nebula
#

Its full standard page size, yes.

Although i may increase the font size more to fit the whole page. I def dont want to leave too much white space at the bottom

#

so just as a general recommendation, keep total number of bullets below 16 for experience, so you can add a couple more

#

you're at 9 now, which is actually below the minimum recommended of 10

mighty nebula
#

Never heard of that, thats cool. Wow 10 is min

gaunt reef
#

errr, inclusive, so 10-16
