Should I include my phone number? I always have it on silent mode because of spam calls, and check my phone maybe 2-3 times a day.
IDK if I want to have it on vibrate all the time just for the off-chance of someone calling me unannounced(my impression was that most communication would be first initiated via email).

Should I be applying to US positions that don't explicitly state whether they sponsor or not? I am a Canadian citizen.

Not sure how I would describe my projects better. For example with my interpreter project, I'm not sure if I should elaborate on the design choice of using the visitor pattern in the implementing my parser. Might that be too much detail? (maybe that's something to be reserved for talking about during the interview)

Also all my projects for the sake of learning things so they don't really have an "impact narrative" or much to say about metrics I think(that's probably an issue in itself in a sense lol).

How much marginal value would I get from spending time further improving projects vs leetcode?

I'm not very motivated to tackle any significant project right now honestly.

OTOH I've been spending 1-2 hrs daily on leetcode for about half a year now, and I enjoy it a lot nowadays.

So ATM I'd rather spend my time mainly on leetcode but if my resume could be improved significantly it would feel a bit silly to spend all my time on just school/leetcode while never passing the resume screen.

I'll be taking Operating Systems, Software Design, and Database courses this coming winter semester.

Should I limit the # of courses I list in my resume? I already decided to omit mentioning my Theory of Computation course in my resume because it didn't seem that relevant for most positions(though it was extremely relevant for my interpreter project, so maybe I should put it back in lol).

I would have at least 5 projects

#

get a new template if it can't fit

#
  1. yes
#
  1. you could apply and then just ask
#

usually you have a recruiter call first

#
  1. I would try to be as specific as possible
#
  1. both are just as important, look at your ratio though,
    improving resume = landing interviews
    improving leetcode = passing interviews
#

so if you're getting a lot of interviews but not passing them then Leetcode

#

but I see a lot that could be improved for on your resume to standout from the crowd

#
  1. I would add these
