Bootcamp Graduate looking for junior and entry level positions

[ivory matrix]

I took your advice and made my job descriptions as implementation : results. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the input. I made all of the changes and actually submitted it today. I have my first technical! Pretty hyped.

Experience is irrelevant, I would nuke it

and focus on the computational side of the chemistry

so if you did any degree research involving programming put it there

otherwise, projects, certifications etc

projects also seem generic

I'm transitioning from a research chemist to junior role. I appreciate all feedback and suggestions. Thanks.

I assume no comments mean that I've perfected the resume? haha

Education (I think) is supposed to be at the top? Otherwise the only advice I can give is what someone gave my on my thread below, which is to try to emphasize the value/impact of job accomplishments vs listing tasks.

Personal Summary
I think summaries are appropriate for career change resumes. Once you get the first job out of the way you can drop it. Summary should explain you are career changing and looking for an entry level role. Hype up the technical difficulty and leadership skills from the previous career and how you want to bring it into this one.

Experience:
Half your resume space isn't relevant for what they'll want to hire you for. IE: none of the keywords will help in the ATS scan and the screener is looking for tech related things. Drop one of the roles, pick the top 2-3 bullets for each that hype up the soft skills. (Leadership/mentorship) Don't let it take up more than 20% of the space. I'd switch the name from Experience -> "Prior Experience"

Education:

• Education formatting looks messed up. Something off with the whitespace and that one bullet does match the rest of the doc. Use a common template. Pragmatic Engineer site has a good one. That'll fix most of your whitespace issues.
• I'd move Education below Experience. It's got the bootcamp, but your prior experience is still a stronger section.

Projects:
Projects are where it's at for entry-level. Unfortunately it's also the weakest part of this resume in terms of metrics. Spend most of your time here to spice those up if you can. You got one of your react's undercase. Simple mistakes like that say lack of attention to detail and will toss more resumes than you’d think.

For entry-level we're not looking for people who already know things, we want smart people we can teach. Make sure the prior experience and summary tells that story. I'd also recommend, while you’re hunting, pick a new project. Quantity of projects doesn't matter as much as quality. What you have looks like bootcamp assignments that every other entry-level candidate has. Pick either a front-end or back-end project so you can go deep on a subject and pick up some challenges you can talk through during interviews. Good luck!
