Any advice on what I can do to improve my resume to perhaps increase my chance to hear back?
#2 prior internships and no response from any Winter 2023 or Spring and Summer 2023 Positions

use sans serif font (roboto)
Also i never understood the bold spamming strat. If so much stuff is fluff then you need to condense wording. Seems to me you have a lot of skills but not a lot of impact
Your contributions should have discrete results. For your work experience, attribute your work to some of the projects or companies topline goals.
TLDR, wordy, redundant descriptions lacking discrete signals of impact. Identify (or estimate) the impact and redundancy of each of your points. Sorry for being harsh, i really think u deserve more visibility.
Google "XYZ Formula", doesnt need to always be XYZ, be creative and do ZYX or XZY, etc
For example:
"Improved and updated current Python package dependencies in legacy code base using poetry and Docker"
Is consolidated to:
"Containerized an existing full-stack application using Docker and Poetry, improving resource allocation by [x]%"

Thanks for the tip but I had a question regarding this point the “improving resources by [x]%”. I do believe my additions to the repo have improved dependency management I’m not sure how I would allocate a number to it
If that makes sense
Do I make it up?

yeah lol
i dont even use docker so dont quote me, but if you containerized the app there ought to be some obvious benefit, like being able to run multiple instances on 1 machine, etc
be able to talk about its impact essentially, so dont make up something
if dependency management is improved, explained how. What exact problem was occurring and prove that it really was solved

Re: XYZ or its variants
I refer having X in front because you emphasize your accomplishment, and get the reader exposed to your accomplishment even if the reader did not finish the bullet point (which is the usual case). That said, XZY is ok.
