Hi, I am sick of googling "online resume builder". So I decided to make it from scratch. I ended up with some basic resume which looks same and exact to others. I wanted something unique.
I recently learned figma almost 2 months ago to speed up my web development projects. So i also decided to use it for making resume.
It's my first try on making resume. I want the help of dev.to community to rate this design so i can know what can be improved in this.
Also if you want the same design for yourself for free, plz tell me in the comments.
For those who are wondering why would I do it for free, you just need to follow me here on dev.to :)
Thank you

If you need to check 100 resumes every day, you prefer have it the same format.
The left side is good, but for the right one
I suggest you to move the experience section above education. Experience section is the most important: it should contain responsibilities and other related stuff. It should represent your input into the project you worked on.
For the experience part, you are right I have to put it above education and also include what i did mainly.
But I think, having a slightly different and good looking resume can make you stand out.
What do you think?
i came across this article recently:
smashingmagazine.com/2018/06/web-d...
it may help you.
Thanks :) I am surely gonna read it!
I like the resume. In the US, however, many employers will discard a resume with your image on it, and the your image may possibly confuse any ATS system that is used.
Is it bad to have a picture in resume? In india, it's almost necessary to have a picture in your resume.
Where are you trying to get a job? (What country..) personally I would switch projects with education. Also, I would probably just get rid of 2016 88% and 2018 88%. You can use this site cvcompiler.com/ to see if there are any weak points!
But it looks nice! Well done!
One more, in the first part instead of I’ve been “doing” freelancing, get rid of doing. Just have it as “I’ve been freelancing...” and maybe put more about your freelancing experience in your experience section
Good catch! Thank you :)
India :) Does the country matter?
Doesn’t matter was just curious!
The design is nice, but the content is not good.
Remove your real address and remove your picture.
Education can be mentioned on left side.
I don't know if it is mistake but you have only 4 months of experience (2+2).
'About me' should talk more about what job you are aiming for.
Write more about what did you actually do and accomplised on those projects. Justify the things mentioned on left side.
Why should I remove picture and address?
I'll write more in experience section :)
Nice! I'd rate your resume 6 out of 10. The design and layout is nice, but the whole thing is monochrome. A little bit of color is what needs to be added. Also, adding a bit of style with CSS
box-shadowcould add a finishing touch.Thanks. I'll surely update it :)
Hello Brother, Nice to know you are from Faridabad too. BTW nice Resume.
Hi bhai :)
Thanks
Hello Harsh!
I'm viewing this from a position of an engineer that conducted quite a bit of technical interviews. I was not involved in any hiring process in any other way (well, almost) throughout my experience.
The way it looks is nice, very clean. Well done!
I'm not such a fan of the content though. To me, it doesn't feel self-consistent.
First, you identify yourself as a full-stack webdev, but then you go on talking about design in 'About me'. In my head, full-stack is FE+BE. Well-thought design, usage patterns, UX and all that are separate disciplines from engineering. The way you're putting it, sounds like you're more a designer that can code, than an engineer that can design things.
Second - personally, and maybe your local market situation is not the same - I, and recruiters I do know, don't really care about your education. We've all seen people graduated from great universities that can't do FizzBuzz, as well as people without formal education completely killing it. Unless the position requires a very specific education (like IDK, a surgeon?), I'd prefer "education" section to be collapsed to one line: what degree, which year. Also, it belongs below "experience" section.
Third, the experience section lacks an important part: what did you do while being employed there? What impact did you have? Maybe you helped to save money, or to increase users retention, or make the funnel more effective, or sped up the loading time 2x? Without this, the "experience" section looks like one did their 9 to 5 and there's not much to talk about.
Fourth, skills. I may be nitpicking there, but no way I would include HTML and CSS under this. Like, they're formally languages, but they're not programming languages. If we follow this, then let's put YAML and Markdown on the list. Especially taking into account that you're a web developer. I think HTML/CSS knowledge is pretty implicit here.
Then, you're putting C/C++ and Python before JS. At this point, I'm completely lost. To me, an FSWD is first and foremost is a JS pro, doing JS both client and server side. What did you do with C/C++? Did you write backends in those? If so, you should mention that explicitly. Your job experience mentions only FE roles... I would assume they were both in JS. Maybe put JS on the very top?
Fifth, frameworks. In conjunction with the previous point, it seems strange you're listing only JS frameworks. At this point, I'm not sure how honest were you regarding C/C++ knowledge.
Sixth, on the "projects" section: it doesn't hurt to include the running projects links, but since you're a developer, I'd rather see the source code. Github or similar would do. Also, as a small note: the world is changing, and overall stigmatic view on cannabis seems to be slowly going away, but you have consider it nevertheless. Maybe put something less controversial on the list.
This is the best review of this and I think I would be improving along this.
Thank you so much!
I will send you a personal message with my updates resume.
Thanks again :)
Hey Harsh,
I really hope that was useful. Don't hesitate to send me a PM. Keep in mind though, I'm not a pro in this field and all of this is just my opinion.
BTW, with the way you're reacting to this I'd put 'taking feedback' on the list of your soft skills :)
I think your experience is internship...so that should be mentioned too..
And your About me section can be more refined..use some technical terms such as web apps,cross platform, responsive design, PWA to get through application tracking systems etc
My experience is internship? I don't get it. Can you plz explain?
u have 2 months of experience, i think that is internship ?
