Looks better but now the issue is with verbosity. For example “focusing exclusively on comprehensive” - here exclusive and comprehensive is just fluff. It doesn’t add value and makes the bullet harder to understand. Bolding tech is fine but underline is overkill. I do like that you switched to bolding tooling instead of proprietary stuff like Sumo Logic. Your bullets are solid but shorten them to preserve the metrics/tooling without the fluff. Then you’d be golden

yo!!!! thank you for being patient yeahbuddy let's get it

Skimming (HR):

  • For your special new grad status I would put "Graduated Dec. 2023" for your waterloo. gratz btw! :3
  • Love the bolding, would look to see some quantifications bolded too like "decreasing 30% testing time".
  • Side note I accidentally read, in Company 2 I'd change your "detecting 5% data inaccuracy" to something akin to "ensuring accuracy of 95%". glass half full type of vibe.
  • I see you changed your bolded keywords to NOT be underlined anymore, but your project keywords are still underlined.
  • Technical Skills seems sparse ): I would fill the frameworks list up with keywords you've already hit just so it can reach 90-100% width, and then swap out repeated keywords with new ones if you do learn more technologies.
  • Would personally rename 'interests' to accolades/awards/accomplishments/extracurriculars to keep more professional tone.

Reading (EM/Interviewer):

  • I think you could do with more bolding, I kinda get the feeling that you're shy about it but I think bolding Slack and Kubernetes and HTML and 'backend API in C++' would do more good than potential bad. Sprinkle some more bolding in there you got some delicious little nuggets in there yum_AE
  • Company 1: Love this, no notes!!! concise and not too broad, good technology name drops and impact (:
  • Company 2: No notes
  • Company 3: No notes
  • Thank you for your service 🫡 : Sir bold "Commendation Medal" right now, civilians don't know wtf this means and sounds very prestigious
  • Proj 1: I hope by "Proj Description" you mean you're putting your technologies here. Your bullet points should be the description of the project or there should be context in the project title. "Designed and impl... with PostgreSQL" 'to enable the X system to do Y' kinda thing. "Backend logic" should be more verbose, like 'data processing pipeline' or anything more specific.
  • Proj 2: Same notes as above, I don't know about the project so I can't say whether you are able to write more about it but this looks pretty sparse. I'd plump it up if you can (:

Nitpicks & min-max:

  • Reach 90-100% width on new lines, this helps with visual structure and makes your resume appear stronger. Image attached.

's'all I got!!! I think your resume is already very strong!!!
