I'd probably go with default font with jake's tempalte, it gave me a much higher response rate, since even ifit apsses ats, recuriters onyl gonna look at it for a few seconds so they priobably wouldn't want to squit to look at the blocky font

#

Otherwise I'd probably add a section like leadership, I put my awards & clubs I was a aprt of

How about bullet points (projects, experience)?

# livid cape How about bullet points (projects, experience)?

I think your bullet points are good, but I think the fact that you over fill onto the next page in the font shows you have too much stuff, I decided to get rid of a few bulletpoints, and have 23 total, and for some reason it's getting better ats response rate

#

Like it actually helped me land my currnet offer

#

I see, thank you so much!

less is more, they average 7 seconds per reume, only include your best.

It's great that you have metrics, but some metrics don't mean much. For example, Implemented Spring Boot to create over 10 back-end API endpoints
Why would any recruiters even care about this? You could implement 1 million endpoints but if it doesn't help the business, then it means nothing

On that same line, you mentioned improving system performance and response times. This is honestly the one that you should elaborate (instead of the one above). What kind of performance? Latency? Throughput? By how much? Same for the response times

hmmmm okay, I'll take a look at those

#

how about the resume overall, does it make an impact on you at first sight

@livid cape I would listen to @proven lichen he's one of the most cracked people in this server to the point that managers create job requisitions out of thin air just to hire him

# livid cape what do u think abt my resume

it's well written but it's mid, hopefully you find a higher quality internship, ideally real SWE

  1. if you're in honours then include your GPA bro wtf
  2. try and finesse your bullet points to look like SWE, emphasise dev things and bold programming languages used
  3. split up tools and frameworks in skills, and put skills after education
  4. it's kinda funny that your projects are bigger than your work exp, it is what it is tho
#

you need to grind career fairs and any in person events, cuz cold applying is gonna be a bad time, but still do that
