I have some opinions on what's wrong but I want to see if others would draw the same conclusions

Try to make it 1 page, for one

also smartArm only has one bullet point

#

so either it's not important or it can be filled out more

#

if not important as much as the other experiences/projects, you can take it out and save space

ya I was thinking that one might have to go, was just on the fence about whether itd be beneficial to keep a startup im currently helping on there

#

how do you feel about the individual points and their wording?

#

any specific changes, bad points, etc.

I also think I went overkill a bit on the XYZ and quantified metric thing but idk, it feels silly to me but at the same time I always hear everyone say to do it

I would maybe add 'Intern' to those positions assuming they are internships, might increase ats chances if they're looking for keywords like 'Intern'

thanks

steep heron
#

yea i guess if your applying on loos portal they would know its internships but applying directly it might make a difference

undone wharf
#

ya makes sense, hard to say if it does but i think i agree its probably safer

steep heron
#

Other than that you bullet points look good to me and I agree with maybe removing the startup experience but if you think its important just add a couple more bullet points, remove a project so that the skills have some space

undone wharf
#

do you think any of the bullet points are too verbose, or if any of them are weak and not worth leaving on there

steep heron
#

i think the first exp bullet point could be swapped with the last one for that exp cause its has metrics

#

the hr/recruiter will prolly have eyes on the first few bullet points for each exp

#

so the ones with metrics might look better at the top and could be bolded imo

good point

Either have to save three lines worth of points by shrinking or eliminating points, or simply remove smartarm

Thanks lol, was going for a project that could serve as a memory device for people reading my resume

undone wharf
#

cause its a startup I joined to work on some things whenever needed but im not fulltime or parttime or anything

#

Any help or random criticisms are appreciated
