Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been applying to jobs, but my resume isn’t getting shortlisted. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could take a quick look at my resume and GitHub and share any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

the spacing looks off in some of the texts but that probably doesn't matter

#

depends on the kinds of jobs you're applying to in the end? I guess probably junior frontend positions?

From my experience, interviewers usually don’t look at your projects before the first or even second interview. HR is typically the first to look at your resume and they don't know how to read code. Make sure your formatting is clean and professional. Fix the font and fix the format.

Appart from that, how many companies have you applied to so far? The market isn’t great right now, so you really need to apply to A LOT of companies just to get an interview.

Since when?

#

From last 3-4 months

If that's accurate and you got 0 interviews then it's even more important to fix the formatting of you resume.

As Rob and Astra said, the space and font are weird and inconsistent. Use a more modern font. Start there.

Another thing you can do to increase you chance of getting an interview is to adapt your resume to the different job you're trying to get but it can be much more time consuming.

Another thing the the ordering of your experience. You need to have the most recent experience at the top, not the bottom. Same for your project. You should have a timeline similar to your job experience. For example, if you are still working on the chatting application, you should have a timeline (May 2020 - Present), or if you are done with it (May 2020 - May 2025), etc

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll update the order to show the most recent experience and projects at the top, and I’ll add proper timelines to each project. Appreciate the suggestion!

I would change the Technical Abilities header to Skills (I would personally put that at the bottom to as what is most important is your education and experience). But what is crucial is your formatting. Most, if not all, is off. You have spacing inconsistencies a lot (example: your Technical Abilities, Systems & Networking, you have no space between the items, but in Version Control, you do). A lot of white space between sections, etc

#

The font really hurts my eyes. This should definitely be changed to probably Arial.

#

Another tip for the content of your resume: when describing your work experience, begin each bullet point with action verbs such as developed, optimized, implemented, or led to clearly communicate your contributions. Focus on measurable impact whenever possible, quantify your results (ex. "Improved load time by 40%" or "Increased user retention by 25%", etc).

#

Certifications are useless in softwar engineering, so you probably could remove that

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

Thanks for pointing that out! I will change the header to “Skills” and move it to the bottom as suggested

limpid plinth Jul 7, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

I understand that you have limited experience, so if you have space, I would keep Certifications.

brittle dust Jul 7, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

Add some soft skills as well

#

Those are the ones hard to find

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to review my resume. I really appreciate your detailed feedback and suggestions—it's been super helpful! I'll be making the changes accordingly.

limpid plinth Jul 7, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

As you already have a job as a developer, I would add more content of what your current job is too.

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

Ok @limpid plinth Thanks for that I will make all the changes accordingly ❤️

brittle dust Jul 7, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

About you project just out of curiosity, why are you always writing this? What happen if I upload something bigger? Is it going to crash??? Maybe the app shouldn't let the user to it instead? You can't rely on the user not doing something hshs

#

Anyway, concentrate on the resumes.

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

Ok about that issue.I fixed that issue but forgot to update.Sorry 🥲

brittle dust Jul 7, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

That's fine I was just curious and if I was an interviewer looking at this is would be curious as well

deep kiln Jul 7, 2025, 6:44 PM

You guys are really helping thanks again
