Hello folks,
I graduated in May 2024 looking for Frontend/Software Engineering Roles.
I am preparing for the hiring season that happens during the months of December, January and February. Would anyone be willing to take a stab at my resume? 🥹 I am open to criticism, and any suggestions/changes!
Cheers
#Front End Engineer

its so fucking loaded
its an eyesore first of all
like font needs to be bigger
potentially way bigger
worthy sonnet
you doxxed number and email
earnest grove
you dont want a hard to read resume
ok ur already set back like a mile being international and needing sponsor, im sorry bro
but that is the reality
it potentially is why youre not landing stuff, but regardless, ill give a list of what i think can improve

I appreciate the honesty tbh. So please anyfeed back is helpful
earnest grove
well first of all
i like your bullets
i have nothing to give for improvement for that
but i would say add more bullets to projects, and cut out some projects that arent worth mentioning (tourism landing page), add bullets to the projects (show that its a fleshed out project, not just randomly you did one part and thats it. you want to show that its a real project)
wary ridge
i have nothing to give for improvement for that
Thank you. I tried being honest and asked my former/current managers on how I can present them as honestly as possible ☠️🥹☠️
worthy sonnet
idk how useful this would be but:
- use jake's resume template, biggest problem is font size
- make bullets more consistent. some things have 5 bullets in work section, or have 4. Also, imo, i would remove location for companies in india (upto you)
- Projects section, keep it consistent to 3-4 detailed bullets, and cut down to 3 projects you wanna show
- I would merge skills and awards into one section (upto you)
worthy sonnet
yeah this would look a lot better in jakes. and jake will force you to cut down things
here you can fit too much due to small font size
wary ridge
im from pune
Mumbai
delicate sky
size wise at least
my older resumes felt too crowded as well
earnest grove
yea i also dont know front end so i think ur bullets are good but i have no idea realistically
use this template
it keeps everything big enough to read
rn if i was a recruiter i would get jumpscared by ur resume
cuz u have to litearlly squnt
either squint or zoom in
delicate sky
just use XYZ for each bullet
and have a normal size font where the reader can digest all of it quickly
worthy sonnet
yeah this is important
delicate sky
your personal projects can be 1 bullet each
earnest grove
NOBOB
worthy sonnet
imo, take 3 good projects and make it 3-4 bullets depending on spacing

yep this

projs help a lot during tech rounds
earnest grove
yes way more than i ever expected tbh lol
wary ridge
Thank you so so so much folks! I am really greatful to such amazing and honest advice.
worthy sonnet
only if they’re relevant
this too
earnest grove
its also -ev net returns, EM's usually like to grill u on ur projects, if u have a bunch u need to memorize and remember all ur projects. so having max 3 cuts down ur mental load to know the project inside and out 110%
delicate sky
the 2 projects i have gotten asked about are about my IPA downloaded & my gâcha game leaking
the other 2, never been asked a thing lol
they probably feel too generic
worthy sonnet
also your twitter is pretty cool lol
earnest grove
yea EMs are pretty rng but if u they ask u something and u dont know it and its on ur resume literally just consider it compeltely and utterly over for you

True but in my previous interviews at TikTok, Coinbase I didn’t have much difficulty since I made them by myself. I have this doc which I keep where I write why i took certain decisions. Helps me answer project based questions.

Yes yes yes

worthy sonnet

yeah 💀
wary ridge
buster ur getting ints at tiktok and cb
This is solely coz of cold emailing. Not because of applications.
earnest grove
it doesnt matter tbh
wary ridge
ig it isnt parsing right or isnt readable lmao
This. Has to be this
worthy sonnet
keep cold emailing, dm me for meta, i will send my recs emails
delicate sky
resume is good but fails ATS or something
earnest grove
i shouldve emailed coinbob last cycle
wary ridge
cold email doesnt give u int either unless resume is good
Really? I thought it was my portfolio lol.
earnest grove
resume is good but fails ATS or something
nah its just a hard read, recruiters do look at resumes once they pass ats, if i was a recruiter i would not at all want to look at this
wary ridge
i shouldve emailed coinbob last cycle
Cb is totally on luck. Those mfs don’t respond 🥲
delicate sky
i still think it’s too big but if it’s good enough for tiktok then lol
wary ridge
TikTok literally needs bodies so they hiring a lot. I could not clear those Front end interviews due to skill issues in DSA.
PayPal and Amazon are in Jan so I got time
worthy sonnet
your website is also good lol

I did not apply to any of the above. I basically asked for resume review from recruiters at AWS and PayPal. They straight up sent me an invite.
wary ridge
its not even paypal employees interviewing you
I know. That is why I am a bit worried. They prioritize speed over optimal solutions ☠️
worthy sonnet
do you need emails of recs for meta?
wary ridge
