Roast my resume

[potent timber]

a lot of "optimization by x% "

[opal fiber]

Ok so I should get rid of some

[potent timber]

I think yes keep the necessary ones and you are sure about them

[lucid sierra]

cert seem kinda useless

also i feel like skills should go below work exp but maybe im wrong

[opal fiber]

So I should highlight my work experience more….

[lucid sierra]

should also probably not put ide's in skills

[opal fiber]

Yeah you’re right

[lucid sierra]

im not sure about calling it mern u could just list them out individually and break them up but it prob doesnt matter too much

[quartz girder]

putting a certification for technical interview prep makes 0 sense

and use jake's template because this is hard to read ngl

[opal fiber]

thank you I am doing this as we speak.

any advice on how I can improve my bullet points?

[quartz girder]

I guess at a glance all of your metrics seem like bs

these are personal projects, right?

because the way you word your bullets makes it sound like you're improving something, but if they're personal projects, you're just improving your own code...?

like that doesn't make sense to include

like little to none of your metrics make sense

[lucid sierra]

wtf does this mean

obv u can improve stuff w your app

[real scroll]

i think he means the metrics are bs since its ur own code

it could be disgustingly bad and u "improving it" wouldnt have much weight

[lucid sierra]

couldnt that also be true at a company tho

bad code

[real scroll]

well a recruiter always has the option to call up the company to verify

and if it was truly bad he wouldve got let go early

so companies give a little more credit than projects

since more people are looking at your work other than yourself

[quartz girder]

yeah but you shouldn't write about it in that way

it's clear that this guy is just spamming metrics that he pulled out of his ass at every bullet

[quartz girder]

on the job when you report a metric it's usually to show you improved an existing process/someone else's work

maybe the previous version of the existing process was your work, and you're improving it, but you don't specifically say it's your work..

like it doesn't make sense to say:

I wrote a really shit project.

Then, I made it more efficient by 70%!

like you don't measure a metric on your own project that you improved something by 100000%, you just use the 100000% improved version as the final version..?

[quartz girder]

no recruiter calls a company to verify metrics

[lucid sierra]

i put stuff like how much data i fetch or smth

or users if i have them

[quartz girder]

yeah

that's fine
