I'd try to use a more standard/professional template

#

also i'd reallocate the space at the top and bottom into making the descriptions seem less dense

#

it's quite formidable to read rn

#

I think a different template will help signfiicantly with this

#

Also i believe education typically goes above technical skills, and i'd drop the "candidate"

#

if you have any projects, i'd definitely add them

#

if you don't have projects and you still have space after reformating, i'd look into classroom assignments you can market as projects

#

I also would consider cutting down the amount of bullets per position (just to avoid having large blocks of text)

# ripe quail hi!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! How does this look now? I was told that I shouldn't include projects unless they had some actual users and my class work is not swe. I'm still not sure what to cut out though for my latest two positions

#

I also think that since my projects aren't really unique and don't add too much in terms of showing technical skill differing from my internships (react + crud, react + crud + ml), that there's not much point in putting them in even if I had the space to avoid clutter

Some people have a section for like related classes and ECs and college things

#

I think it might help add a bit more personality (which projects also help with)

#

I think the amount of text is a bit intimating (typically more sections helps as far as adding more space and make it visually more appealing), but also not sure what to cut either

#

I'm still not getting any luck with this, bumping so I can get some more suggestions/help with what to cut or add

#

something like this?

#

i think previously i did have it as a more detailed point but I thought having too many two-line points would make it too bloated and hard to read

#

Would it be better to vary putting impact first for points, or should I stay consistent?
