Your resume is tough because you have 2 really short-term freelance roles that are simultaneous. Honestly, idk how I would approach your resume with how little experience you have - I would consider turning one of them into a project? I've contracted with 9 firms over the last 3 years and didn't even include them in my experience because of how it was flagging me (no name recognition).

I would be applying for new grad roles still - a lot of places are accepting 2024 grads for their 2025 roles bc of the market rn, so I would chance it

#

If you're going to apply for new grad, you can bring your education section up to the top (your experience is too weak to be the top row)

#

Content is also rough because you've worked with these two places for such a short period of time - you can't measure an annual revenue increase through that

#

Maybe a YoY monthly increase

everything you're saying makes a lot of sense, thanks for giving me another perspective.

#

i just secured another freelance project last week that is gonna pay me a decent amount (relative to me) so thats all i really got from now on XD

If you have more significant feature work to include, I would try to include it - your bullets rn are too junior bc they're too implementation-heavy (it's a problem when professional experience sounds like projects). What I would try to do is try to get through more metrics that are relevant for a business - in your case, this would include web vitals, and any improvement over a legacy system

It's good that you landed another freelance role, so I would try to make that last for a while. I would be applying for new grad and some more low-key startups where you can

#

You could set up your own shell company to group your freelance work under one company - the tricky part here would be the bg check, but you could explain that away assuming you have paystubs from the freelance work

Okay - so maybe include some metrics I'm getting from Vercel, such as LCP, FCP, etc?
