Graduating in April, have been applying to many positions but no luck so far.

commenting to come back later

put dates on your projects where your links are

#

and href your project names with links

#

put your work experience in dated order

primal moat
#

the GitHub link is on the side, remove that and instead just href the project name?

versed echo
#

like make the name of the project clickable

#

to the github link

primal moat
#

alright

versed echo
#

and then where it says github link

#

put the project dates

#

remove ides

#

i get this note alot because i also did it but put expected on your grad date

primal moat
#

i was very confused on that

versed echo
#

i dont agree because its implied that you havent graduated but alot of people will read it as if you've graduated

primal moat
#

many people say dont put expected

versed echo
#

yeah i would agree

#

but when you show your resume to people they will assume you have graduated

#

take it with a grain of salt im not sure what the right answer is

primal moat
#

yeah true

#

couple of jobs ask when do you expect to start

#

in that case i put may

versed echo
#

make your bullet point counts more uniform

#

you shouldn't have just one on work experience, even data entry is relevant imo

#

try to put 3 bullet points on all work/projects

primal moat
#

do you think i should add volunteer experience there

versed echo
#

if it fits yeah

primal moat
#

its not really relevant but i could try to make it fit

versed echo
#

in mine i have an extra curricular section but i don't add any bullet points

#

its set up more like your technical skills section

primal moat
#

im making a portfolio so once thats done ill be able to remove one project

primal moat
versed echo
#

for a portfolio you could put it at the top, but i also do not have a portfolio so take it with a grain of salt

#

its just an idea

#

what do you mean

#

oh

#

i would merge it with tech and tools

#

and then take the tech from your data entry job

#

and turn that into a bullet point

#

and remove it from your tech skills section

#

the guidelines post in the resume sections says to remove html/css

#

idk if its a good move because of resume parsing imo but i bet alot of people would say to remove it

primal moat
#

alright appreciate it

versed echo
#

also put the better tech in the front of the lists in tech skills like don't start with html/css

#

whatever you think is more relevant
