Hello. I am a computer science junior and I am looking for summer internships and co-ops.
This resume was built for with a front-end or full-stack job in mind. Could you please give me a review?

Would this resume work for software engineering roles?

Strong resume overall, so I'm going to nit-pick here:

-> Watch the overuse of the percentage increases on XYZ, definitely gone 20% overboard IMO KEKW - I know the convention these days is to quantify your accomplishments as much as you can. Just be prepared for follow up questions about how those metrics were tracked, since they're used quite extensively, its erring towards BS for an astute reader and if you're called in for an interview, they might ask you the same question .e.g what does 20% improvement of code quality mean?? - its subjective depending on who you ask, your team, eng culture etc.

I'm also going to call you out how you improved exam performance when you only began your tutor role a few weeks ago (Jan 2023). Stuff is also more believable if it's not metrics ending in 0 or 5 sus

Otherwise, a strong resume! Good luck!

HAHA thank u, some ppl do a sort of exam early. It's like an intermediary between a quiz and an exam
Edit:
Especially for classes like cs1 (C++) where students typical have a pre cs1 class all about learning to code

Ahh, KK if you can explain that, then you've covered your bases! Only a d-bag interviewer would grill you extensively on this.

I made some edits, removed a percentage

Also, changed it from exam scores to quiz scores. I think that's a better quantifier
