Too many colors

#

Make it black text only

#

Same for other links

#

Too many things are bolded that are not necessary

#

Your education section is too small. If you've been in the field for 10+ years then it's justifiable. But if your a new grad then fix it

#

I'd put your phone number after email on top

#

Do not put "software engineer" as your experience role. Put "software engineer intern"

& again. These colors got to go. If I was a recruiter going through 1000 resumes. I'd throw away all multicolor resumes

#

imo colors are fine but u are over doing it

#

id keep it for the headers and maybe the dates

#

it makes ur resume stand out cuz everyone else is just black

#

bolded text being black is prolly the move imo

#

id prolly put skills at the bottom if u want to show ur experience more since they look pretty good

#

education is fine

#

if ur gonna bold, dont bold technologies

#

bold features/metrics since technology is already there in skills

#

u def do not need intern for positions if ur applying for intern positions, its basically implied

If your not getting any interviews or not getting any non automatic oAs. Then your resume is not ranking as high as other people's in ATS

#

One good thing you could do is throw your resume into chatgpt and ask it a few times to give it a score out of 100. And ask it for suggestions. Keep repeating till you constantly get 85+ / 100

the purple is terrible

#

the highlighting like usual makes it harder to read because you're randomly picking things to highlight

#

sometimes it's a number, sometimes it's a framework, or a language, or a business logic thing, or a ..

#

too many "enhancing x by y%"

#

hard to tell what you're good at or what you want to do

#

embedded + frontend stuff + devops + data... oftentimes it's easier to get callbacks making ur resume hyper focused on one vertical & applying to jobs in that vertical rather than going super wide and getting nothing

#

i agree that you should put intern, recruiters look at resumes so quick, don't want them to think you're getting fired over and over again because they didn't bother reading the education part

#

do date abbreviations

#

Sep instead of September
