  • your bullet notes are way too long. 1-2 lines is good
  • margins are way too wide
  • relevant coursework is too long and imo doesn’t add much
  • the “resumes are boring” line should be removed
  • links should not be blue, too distracting. underline them instead and put the actual link
  • you bolded your uni but nothing else, making your formatting inconsistent
  • you labeled your projects section full stack projects but that is unnecessary since it’s your only projects section. just call it projects
  • any awards? extracurriculars?

id recommend looking at some examples from this discord for a good idea of what it should look like. most resumes use jake’s template (you can find it by searching for it), which is good
