#Newly laid off, updated my CV is it any good?

i would just change to a 1 column, can keep the same color scheme but the current format has a lot of wasted space IMO.
Additionally your bullet points are on the right track but ultimately do need to be improved on as they are vague and lacking any actual impact. For example, ur most recent experience you dont have any metrics to measure impact for anything youve done. “Organized requirements” is a fluff bullet point. “Deployed tasks to EKS..” ok sure but my question is what reaction are you trying to get from somebody reading ur resume when they read this bullet point? when i read it i just went “ok… so…?”
“wrote and delivered documentation”, also fluff. This isnt anything particularly impressive or unique to your job and is almost implied to be doing as an SDE.
“configured docker..” ok…? so…?
“tested the final implementation” … ok do u want to add literally any other details lol maybe what frameworks or library used? any major bugs u caught and fixed due to the testing? code coverage reached ?
i would do this for the rest of the resume. Add metrics. Add specific technologies and frameworks. Convey impact.
Thanks
This resume wastes a ton of space
It does not, at first glance, look like someone with 7 years of experience as a result
why does your current job not have a date?
and like @boreal plover said your bullet points are pretty underwhelming
for example, you talk about testing your code. congrats? That's not particularly interesting in general.
Because:
- it's an obvious thing you should be doing
- you don't give me as a reader any reason to believe it was meaningful enough to be worth 20-25% of the description for the jobs its listed on
Honestly most of your bullet points look like filler, vs actual meaningful work
