Prev GitHub + Unicorn, NG 300+ Apps, 2 Interviews. Please Help!

[twin rampart]

I've implemented some suggestions from previous resume reviews. In total, I've only gotten 2 "big-techish" interviews out of 300+ apps. Would really like to know what I can improve on before the next hiring surge in spring so im not cooked. Thank you 🙏

idk ur resumes pretty cracked but ig the only thing I would say is ur open source contributions are a bit redundant if your going to list in your experience make sure ur not wasting a bullet point from an internship on it. Instead add bullet points to the open source experience and explain it more in depth/detail

Other than that just add metrics for project if your talking about speed accuracy scale etc...

thank u for the feedback, ive added as much numbers as i can for my experiences, but i really dont know what numbers to add to my projects without it basically being bs. for the dsp app, its hard to add metrics without that basically adding overhead to the audio loop, and there is like no metrics to add for the browser engine. but ill see what i can do and see how other DAWs measure performance.

im thinking of replacing the browser engine project with a c++ project since a toy browser engine is pretty basic, and maybe without a c++ project, recruiters are screening it out cus no one gaf about rust : (

ya I get the worry about metrics just try to ground them even if you aren't testing or measuring. Make up believable numbers recruiters and hms dont care as long as its explainable. I do agree about the cpp project but it rlly depends on quality too
