@prisma plinth any advice or tips will greatly help not sure if I should reduce the experience bullet points and expand on projects, your advice on the other resumes is great btw 🙂

Any tips, I think ats is fine based on the resumeworded score, most likely the bullet points and the wording but not too sure how I can change those.

No worries, take your time!

I don't like the black boxes before each section name

#

saying "candidate" isn't really necessarily

#

exp/project bullet points look good

You have the option of putting skills below projects so you can move experience and projects up. It is a possibility to consider

Yeah that is also true, thanks.

yo! ty for being patient yeahbuddy

Skimming (HR):

  • Dope education section 🔥 is "candidate" an important enough identifier that it should be there? (like would it drastically change ur hiring process? if im asking there is a chance HR would too :3)
  • Strongly encourage Technical Skills to be at the bottom of the resume. I (HR) do not want to read a list, and Technical Skills section should just be your catch-all for any AI parser keywords you missed (so ideally your Experience/Projects will have the ones you really want to be looked at anyway).
  • Love the bolding going on :3 I would italicize the technologies that are in the same line with your project titles just to make the section look less "text wall"y. I love the links in ur projects section!!

Reading (EM/Interviewer): I literally got nothing I think your writing is great, everything is concise and probably better than I would have written them! I only have these nitpicks:

Nitpicks & min-max:

  • Education: again I love this section, I might just bite ur format tbh LOL phew
  • Technical Skills: I would personally group the items in Content Management System and Other into the Technologies and Tools list, then append "Content Management Systems" to that list. I think it'd both save you space (perhaps u can add one more line somewhere) and fill out the width of the lines in that section.
  • Company 1: by golly i have no notes. it's concise, you're clearly bragging to an appropriate degree, i love this!!! my single nitpick would be that depending on where you're applying, I would definitely change "Web Development Intern" to "Software Engineering Intern" (maybe have one SWE resume and one Webdev resume, different by literally this single title.)
  • Company 2: Bold the "+" after "15", "100", "2000" if they aren't already.
  • PLEASE pls use 90-100% of a line. don't start new lines that stop before 90% filled (Company 1 Bullets 1 2 and 4, Company 2 bullets 3 and 4, all project bullets except project 3)

obligatory, I am just a guy!!! I encourage you to plsplspls challenge this advice and only do what YOU think would be best for your resume. new grad is rough -- I wish you the best of luck!! pls lmk if you have more questions (:

OH OH OH also make sure that your website, linkedin, and github are being parsed correctly. i may be wrong but parsers may not see hyperlinks and just see "website" and "linkedin", etc. you can check with https://resume-parser.vercel.app/
