Thank you

Will make the appropriate changes

your experience is super strong but you need to tighten up the phrasing on your intern role to match the high bar set by your other entries, right now the bullet about business processes and 65,000+ requests feels a bit fluff-heavy, try something like "reduced manual processing time by 35% by automating C# and Angular workflows to handle 65,000+ annual requests" to better highlight the technical impact, also consider condensing your skills section to just the most relevant tech to save some whitespace for more project details since your current projects section is a bit light for someone with this much experience

Yeah I’m planning on creating a new project and replace that old hackathon project from years back and definitely I will try to reword it better. Thank you so much for the suggestions 🙂 economy is definitely tough rn, not a lot going on despite 500 apps in

are you sending the same resume? or are you adapting it for each post?

[narrow marsh]

I’m sending in the same resume

[scenic gorge]

not the best choice imo, each employer is looking for something different

[narrow marsh]

I see, but I thought resume experience section would be valid regardless of where I’m applying to because they are leaning towards highlighted achievements and skills rather than something specific. I could be 100% wrong but this is my experience thus far

i get what you're saying and yeah your experience itself doesn't change, but the way you frame it shoudl, like if you're applying to a frontend role you want to lead with your Angular and UI work but if it's more of a backend or automation role you'd highlight the C# workflow stuff and the 65k requests angle, recruiters spend like 6 seconds scanning so you want the most relevant things jumping out first for each specific role, it's not about changing what you did it's about reordering and tweaking the wording to match what that job is actually asking for
