  • the spacing needs to be improved, it's kinda busy and you have whitespace at the bottom
  • make sure you don't have bullets spill into the next like by only a few words
  • i'd keep projs to <=4 lines
#

btw ur gh links reveal ur full name

#

oh nvm ur discord name does too lol

#

remove those certifications

#

i’ve literally never heard of any of them

blazing wren
#

yeah python intermediate certifcation is not a thing

#

u also spelled it wrong

#

make sure you don't have spelling/grammatical errors in res

#

content wise the bullets can be improved as well. are those the most impressive things you did for the internships because all of them sound 1-shottable by claude

#

maybe a little less detail

#

will fix

earnest lotus
#

honestly yea*

hollow dagger
#

classic

#

projects look much better tho

#

maybe just like remove a few of the less impactful intern bullets

#

or aggregate them in a more vague way (implemented various frontend techniques to achieve x performance yada yada)

#

to imply more work

Ok will do do you have any reocmendations for a quick way I can get meaning expeince on my resume besides internships or should I jsut keep applying. I have been trying to see if I can find some Open source to contrubute in

#

#
