Too much bold? 400+ apps Intl Junior

Yes, too much bold

#

So much that it takes your attention away from other things. Makes it hard to focus and parse quickly with your eyes.

eh i liked a balance btwn both

#

highlight numbers and skills

#

don't highlight one-off words like "production" or "systematic biases"

#

to each their own

slow lodge
#

in terms of format, I'd personally change to a serif font (like times) to look more profi

#

since you're bolding skills, I don't think it's necessary to write out the skills you used for each internship

#

easier to read the company / job titles you've had that way as well

#

or maybe just reduce it to a "React" or "Full-Stack" if you're applying to those specific roles

#

what's the point in making them bold?

slow lodge
#

esp if it's for a skills-based role like full-stack here rather than general swe

covert quartz
#

isn't the additional info useless

#

it's just ATS fluff

#

@slow lodge like nobody cares if you have 100+ or typescript bolded

#

you look at the cv and if it's skill based you just look at the skills

#

unless you're bolding specifically for the role idgi

slow lodge
#

oh i mean the typescript bolded is bc it proves you actually used it

#

otherwise its easier to lie when you put typescript under skills

#

but even if you didn't lie, the skills section doesn't measure how proficient you are

#

everything under my skills section is just something that I've used a few times and could apply it if I had open book, but I'm only proficient in a few of those things?

ahh true
