Would love some feedback on mine.

I have a website version that uses Print CSS to adjust down to a printer friendly version.

My thought was that since I'm trying to get a web design/development job having a resume website would be kinda cool and nifty that I can just print off a copy, wherever I am.

Perfect resume because its form itself speaks to your area of expertise. It paints you as having very specific skills, and that's usually a good thing. While a narrow focus can mean some people will not respond, it means that you will hook the ones who ought to respond.

Thank you for the kind words. That's definitely what I was going for. I'm trying to get a job making websites, so why not have my resume be a website? Most places only have an upload field for the resume, but then I can just go there, print off a fresh copy as a PDF and upload it.

Hi Jack.

I like the look of this immediately, but there are a couple of things I would change:

  • The headings have underlines on them which make them look like links (they're not)
  • The employment timeline and skills sections are very large compared to the rest of the page, and they take up a lot of vertical space, which feels unbalanced.
  • The accordion effect for the previous roles is nice, but I don't know why it's there. Why do I need to click to read the text? It's not to save vertical space (see previous point) and there's not a lot of text in them, so why not leave them open?
  • I don't know why the roles on the timeline have a hover effect, because it makes me think I can interact with them and I'm left clicking to no effect.
  • In general it feels like things get more claustrophobic the further down the page I scroll, with less padding and ending up with one giant image. Perhaps this could be made into a thumbnail link?
  • From the two projects, one has an image associated with it and one doesn't. It'd be nice to add an image to the first one (the desktop recreation) provided that's not using copyrighted assets or anything.

I really like the way you talk about "Professional Highlights" and "Projects I'm Proud Of". This gives me the impression that you're selecting things you think will interest me as a prospective employer, rather than turfing out every project you've ever done. Saying you're proud of something and showing it off is also a great way to impress people.

I am loving the printed version. Really stands out compared to the 'wall of text' most resumes are these days. My only concern is the non-tech centric roles; but I have no suggestion on how to deal with that given your experience and how tightly coupled they are to the next step in career path.

OVerall, I am digging the design Jack. Well done.

Thanks for your feedback David. I was definitely trying to stand out with the design.

I've had a couple people mention having my time at Target on there. The only reason I included it was to prevent the "Why'd you take a year off?" question. I've read that having employment gaps isn't the end of the world, but if there's a gap and the answer is "Oh, I just worked at Target" that seems worse than not having the gap.

Molly Struve (she/her)

Wow, this is impressive and you just graduated! NICE WORK!

One suggestion I have would be to get a little more detailed on some points to help you really stand out. It will also help people get a firm grasp on what you can do the more detailed you are. For example:

  • "Manage project to ensure timely completion" -> What exactly did you do that helped the team stay on task?
  • "Integrate multiple complex enterprise systems to provide services that optimize and support business processes" -> What processes were supported? What systems were you working with?

I am personally a big fan of tailoring my Resume. You have A TON of awesome skills, but sometimes that makes it a little overwhelming to read. When you are applying, look at the job description and maybe try to whittle down your Skills list to those that you think would be most important for the job. That way if someone is reading your resume they can easily see you have the skills they are looking for.

When I first graduated I also put some of the relevant classes I took under my education section. Something to think about if you want. I also added notes about any organizations I was involved in or led that I thought might convey I had skills the employer was looking for.

Did I mention I LOVE your font?! :D Keep crushing it!!!

OK, I'm going to poke as many holes in this as I can:

Consistency (i.e. evidence of attention to detail and caring about your presentation) is important.

Some of the skills are written as "Frontend - React, Vue, Bootstrap" and some as "Version control using git or svn". I'd recommend picking a style and sticking to it. Keep capitalisation consistent between technology names and use a dash to separate the label from the list instead of the word, "using". There's no reason for some lists to have "and" or "or" before the last item and some not to. I'd leave it out, because that makes the text look a little less dense on the page.

Lines like "provisioning of customer accounts in vendor systems" are pretty vague and look like filler to me. If I was interviewing you I'd maybe ask you to elaborate but I might make the assumption that you just put it in there to make the list have more than two bullet points.

Remember that when someone (well, someone like me) looks at a CV we're noticing the weakest parts and we're thinking that if the candidate included that bit, it's because they couldn't come up with anything better. The best CVs make it look like the candidate had just shown us some examples of how good they are, leaving the reader to imagine that everything else they've done is up to the same standard.

This is the most interesting line in your CV:

Utilize MongoDB aggregation framework and SQL to write reports to save company upwards of $300,000/yr

Instead of that I might choose to write this:

I planned and developed a reporting system for MongoDB which reduced operating costs for the company by $300k per annum.

Obviously it depends what you did and that might not be completely accurate anymore, but I'm trying to put the emphasis on you doing something. I'm also trying to avoid contractions like "/yr" and words like "utilize" which make things sound buzzwordy. I've also changed the voice so instead it's not so passive and it's more about you. I know some people say that you shouldn't use words like "I" too often in your CV, but, well, I don't agree :P

I don't think you need to include the heading on every page1. Reviewers are probably either going to be reading this on their screen or on a printout that they're bringing to the interview, so they're not going to get anything mixed up. This means you get more space on the page to sell yourself and you don't need to use titles like, "... continued".

The Education section seems padded compared to the rest, because it's spread out with extra line spacing and includes irrelevant information. When I read things like "August 29, 2018" I think, "why do I care what day you graduated?" It's also inconsistent with the way you write dates for the work experience.

I think this covers everything for that section:

Education

BSc Software Development, Herzing University, 2018.

The classes you mention will already be covered by your skills list... except I notice they aren't. You thought it was important enough to mention that you learned C++, but it's not something you list in your skills. My interviewer brain asks, "did you fail that course?"

I could also suggest you shorten the skills section to just include the skills relevant to the position for which you're applying. Maybe you could keep a copy of this "master" CV and let it flow over a few pages. Knock yourself out with writing this copy but trim it down for each role you apply for by removing things that don't matter.

Maybe change the heading "Work Experience" to "Relevant career history" or something2 because "work experience" is a phrase associated with people interning or still in education, and might put people off who just glance at the document.

It looks like you have a lot to offer, all I'm suggesting really is that you tidy it up a bit.

HOLY awesomeness! I can't believe you have done all of that and you are only 23!

Now I am not sure what it is like when applying to other companies outside of the US but here is my feedback if you were applying to US companies.

  • Eduction: You list that you have a degree and your grade point, I would put the grade point up with the University name then use the space below to list some relevant classes that might have taught you skills you need for the job you are applying. I also think you can leave your high school off. Given you have so much other experience I dont think its needed.
  • Jobs: Maybe add what language you used at each one otherwise those are solid!
  • Scholarships and Publications: I am on the fence with these. I am not sure how relevant they would be to someone looking to hiring you for a programming job so you might want to leave them off.
  • Languages: I think you could do without this being a full section. Maybe instead of Technical Skills you call that section just Skills and list your two languages there...? Just a thought.
  • References: To save space I think you can leave these off. I typically put "Reference available upon request" at the bottom of my Resumes.

Overall, make sure you are only putting on the CV what the employer needs to know about you to ensure you can do the job they are hiring for. You have so many awesome accomplishments but not necessarily all of them should be on a CV and not necessarily all of them will be relevant for the job you are applying for.

Hope that helps!!!

Hi Molly, thank you for taking the time to check my CV and give feedback! Yes, luckily I could do a lot of things during 2017 and 2018 that helped me to have some accomplishments in my CV after graduating from the university.

I applied to almost all companies in Europe, but I will definitely take your advices to improve it. I didn’t realize on putting classes/subjects that were related to the job I applied, will do that and take out my high school degree.

Also I will polish the other sections to make the CV shorter and better!

Thanks again!

Hi Santiago.

I like your CV, and there's not much I'd change. This is therefore mostly a proofreading!

"What I expect about a company" sounds a little odd - if not a little entitled - to a native English speaker. I might say, "What I am looking for in a company" instead.
The same with beginning sentences with, "also" which is a very European thing to do. "Also I worked" reads better as "I also worked" or even simply "I worked".
There's no need to say "During my internship" in the section which is headed "Research internship". Remove that phrase and get a bit more space to write in more achievements.

I'd reverse the order of your sections to something more like Skills -> Job history -> Education -> Publications... because honestly, once you have any job experience, people stop caring about what you learned at university or school. First eyes on the page will likely be HR people or recruitment agents who are scanning for keywords1

You don't need to list your references on your CV (at least not in the UK, I don't know what it's like elsewhere) as it's understood that you will be asked for them if and when your CV generates enough interest to get you to an interview. Leaving them off saves you space you can use to expand on your skills. If you still feel you need this section, I'd suggest you remove the introductory paragraph ("The people listed below...") since it's unnecessary.

As to that, the intro text to the "Technical Skills" section is also unnecessary. This section and the references section are the only places you use this style. It looks a little odd pressed up against the bullet list and doesn't add any information to the document.

I'd rename "Extracurricular training" to "Training" or put it in the education section. I'd also rename "Technical skills" to "Skills". If you do that, then all the labels on the left-hand side of the document will fit on a single line, which in my opinion will make the page look neater.

I'd work on the margins, too - your name in the heading and some of the dates (see: "February 2018 - May 2018") are pressed up too close to the side of the page for comfort, and they make the whole thing look a little ragged.

If I can give my two cents, I studied in London and got some pretty awesome CV tips when doing my master.

The recommendation there is also that your CV should fit in one page. My guess is that other countries in Europe are also like that - so research the country's "CV Rules" before you apply. :)

I would also tell you that over there you don't need and actually shouldn't include your picture.

Hi Alexander.

I have mostly presentational tips for this one:

  • avoid using the light grey colour for some of your text. On a screen that's below the contrast threshold for basic accessibility.
  • give the text a bit more line height - everything's a little crushed together.
  • you don't need to include the full street address for every job
  • make the tenses consistent: "Prepared technical pitches..." is something you did, but "Full-stack development using..." is something much more passive. Say "Developed xxx with..." instead.
  • remove some of the extraneous language padding out these bullet points. "Garnered experience" is particularly odd - just say "Worked with graphic desieners converting..." instead.
  • Make the section titles use consistent letter case. In "Languages, Interests and links", the "I" is in full caps but the "L"s aren't. In "Technical Skills" it's all small-caps, and in "Work Experience" it's title-case with full and small-caps. Just make them all the same :)

Your intro paragraph is important but it reads slightly clunkily:

Profile: Software engineer with thorough hands on experience of 3+ years in modern Front-end web development technologies (React JS, VUE JS and React Native for mobile development). With skills in rapid prototyping, design, implementation and testing of software products – including user acceptance testing and TDD. Passion for software architecture and experienced with open-source stack: Git, Mongo and Docker.

I suggest a couple of minor tweaks:

PROFILE

I have skills in rapid prototyping, design, implementation and testing of software products – including user acceptance testing and test-driven development.

I'm not sure how to rephrase the "passion" part and sill keep it in the same voice as the rest of the paragraph, and I'm worried that putting too many things in that opener will make it less punchy.

Hope this helps!

Overall feels professional just that I would changes the following. Firstly it's the amount of titles for packt publishing find one title that you wrote down and stick with it. Lastly I would remove the word intern from Sparkplug. Since I won't consider someone a intern when they you had graduated from university and had been working with them for 3 years after they had graduated, that is not a internship but full time work.

I like the beginner to advance ranking. I also like the breakdown all your experience.
Just a reminder that any tech you list is interview-fair game, so make sure you are in fact comfortable with what you list and can answer questions about it.

Hi Bailey,
I would add a few thoughts...

First of all, I come from the school of thought that you highlight your most impactful item based on where you are - your most impactful is eduction at the moment. There are definitely different camps on this one, but I would swap.

I would also put a small (read sentence at most) intent at the beginning to direct the resder you are interested in an internship in x, y or z. I think that could help drive reality.

Love the visual on the left. Hope you have the career you want in tech!

1) for your skills at the bottom, how are they ordered? It doesn’t feel obvious looking at it. Either make sure they’re listed from strongest to weakest, or just list them alphabetically. Alphabetical listing makes it look less haphazard.
2) anywhere you can, add numbers. I know from your resume that you worked on apps. Refactored some controllers. How big were the apps? Did you have to deal with concerns of scale? How many controllers did you refactor? When you say β€œalmost all” that could be three or fifty depending on the size of the app. When you implemented caching for an app, what kind of performance gains did you see?

Hello Shashank; your looks pretty impressive. Very well filled out and the sections are well separated. I like that you list the tech used during each position. The one issue that really stings is the capitalization. Python, Docker, etc should be upper case. Also, add the months to to the employment dates. At the moment it looks like you work at each place for exactly 1 year.

Good luck in your search.

Hi Miguel,

really love your intro and your goals, you have a strong CV.

A few notes:

  • "on it’s technical implementation" -> "on its technical implementation"
  • you don't need to repeat the name of the app/project in all sub lists. Instead of "Android developer of Bop" you can just say "Android developer"
  • "de bridge" -> "the bridge", "delivering advances" -> "develering advancements"

I'm not sure about listing udemy's or udacity's courses in your CV, you've already established you're self taught, unless you have a certificate or something there's no need to list the courses.

  • Right off the bat, one thing I notice is that your summary statement is super broad and you talk about skills from UX to the backend. You might want to consider narrowing down what you want to work on and be more specific in that statement. Do you want to do more UX work? Would you rather work on the backend? If you don't know, then maybe put that you are still trying to figure out what you enjoy working on best. I think admitting that you are not quite sure is better than just being super broad.
  • Skills: The logos are fun but I would stick with listing out the actual names
  • Major Projects: LOVE the tools used section that is a nice touch!

This looks pretty slick. When you put it on paper make sure you can fit it on a single page. You might be able to do without some of your early education if you find yourself running short of room. Also consider tailoring it for the job. If you are applying for a front end job make sure all the design stuff is front and center. If you are applying for a backend position then make sure that relevant is prominent.

Keep crushing it :D

I like the layout, make sure it's printer friendly and in b&w.
Your bullet points are incomplete sentences, which I prefer, but remove the . from the end of each line.
With your experience are there any metrics you can pull out of what you were able to contribute?
Each of your projects point to - present. Maybe remove that if you're just in maintenance mode and only have the established date.
reminder: any tech skills you list are fair game to be interviewed about. Be ready if you list them :)

Please take everything with a grain of salt and decide for yourself if you agree with it or not :)

  • My personal preference would be to not have two columns. For me it makes it harder to scan and or read in the order you want me to read it in. Is EDUCATION really the most important thing on here? Or should it be EXPERIENCE? Hard to say with multiple columns.

  • Skills. You list JavaScript in FE Development, but break Python and C# out into Programming Languages (instead of BE Development). I'd consider consolidating the sections (particularly UX and UI) and perhaps move the individual Tools into their respective categories. Less headers may result in the skills themselves carrying more weight.

  • Experience... The 2nd/3rd descriptions read almost the same. Creating mockups and wireframes. See if you can't break those out to distinguish. Perhaps mention the applications used? Or maybe size/number of customers, or something else. I guess that, at least for me, "UI/UX Designer" implies mockups and usability so the descriptions aren't adding anything.

  • I would move the last three (teacher, trainer) into their own section... "VOLUNTEERING" maybe? I love that section, but it feels odd in Experience which I think of as more "jobs" and the dates don't let it work well chronologically.

  • Last thing.. If I print this only then do I see your name, website, email, and phone. Might just be my Safari, but seems odd not to have it there all the time.

Hi Philip,

I like it! Did you add the PROFILE or did I somehow miss it completely from last time? Either way I really like it. Nitpick, spell out "2 years" as "two years." It will read better.

I'm still inclined to merge the UX and UI skill categories together, but that's just me.

I think the one column setup really makes it easier to read as you intend me to read it.

Love the layout -
reminder any technology you list be prepared to interview in. Otherwise, focus on what you want your job to be in.

Is it correct that you're doing Data Analytics Apprentice and Mainframe Production Support Analyst at the same time? Both point to present.

Only real suggestion would be to add a line under each position what tech you worked in.. just a high level summary. I think it's great that you elaborated to fill out the page. When you get more experience, definitely focus on making it skim-able.

Hi!

You have a lot of great experience on here but due to that and some of the other sections it is a bit long. I would highly suggest getting it down to 1 page. I think if you change your formatting a bit plus remove a few things it would probably be easier than you think.

  • Formatting: Right now the section headers like EDUCATION and then the bullets under them are all the same size which makes the section not really stand out. For example look at @turfaa's resume here. See how the sections are very obvious, try for something like that.

  • Experience: If you are not going into hardware I think you could remove Lambert Electromec. and Karim Enterprises and focus on the software experience. OR make those two jobs a little smaller by paring down the list of things under them. Overall you want to make sure you are conveying that you have the skills that the employer is looking for so anything that doesnt add to that you can get rid of. I would also move this to the top followed by Education.

  • Education: Good

  • Skills: move these up so they are under experience or education. Then I would put extra curricular activities/projects under this.

  • References: Rather than list these out I would save some space and just write "References available upon request"

Overall you have a lot of really neat experiences on here but make sure to only use what will be relevant to the job you are applying for. If you focus your resume it will be a lot easier for people to see that you are a fit for the job.

Hope that helps!!!

Hello Molly,

Looks so much better!!! I love that you can tell where each section starts and ends. I would still work on getting it to one page. Bullet points like:

  • Handled team registration for competition.
  • Organized team logistics in coordination with team supervisors.
  • Sourced financial (of 100,000 Naira) and technical support. Are all pretty general and not necessarily relevant to a dev job. I think you could combine all these into one bullet point that explains you have all those soft skills employers want.
  • Led and coordinated team logistics while sourcing financial and technical support

Up under experience I think you could be more detailed still

  • Studied already existing projects written by other software engineers. What kind of projects? Were you just reading them or were you expected to provide feedback. Things like that will help paint a better picture of your experience.

Feel free to checkout my post Resume Writing Tips as you are editing it :)

Hi Shahriar,

a few things:

  • "take challenge and gain experience from it" I would change it to "take on challenges and gain experiences from them"

In your skills you mix frameworks in the programming languages section (Angular?) and frameworks in the markup languages section (Bootstrap)? If the section is "programming languages" just list programming languages and then do a section for the major frameworks you know. Also, AJAX is neither :D So:

Languages: C++, C#, Java, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3
Frameworks: Laravel, CodeIgniter, Ionic, Wordpress, Angular, NodeJS, jQuery, Bootstrap
Databases: MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access

Also, swap the order of the experiences. Always put the most recent first, that's the most important while scanning a CV. Same for the awards at the end, most recent first :-)

You are doin a Master in CS, unless this CV is for academic reason I don't think you need to list all the courses you attended at your Bachelor (because the fact that you're doing a Master tells me you're quite knowledgeable in computer science alreay). It also saves you a lot of space in the CV.

Good CV!

Hi, I think it's a solid resume, congrats.

Just a few small details in the copy that would make it even better

a quick rundown:

In the description: "Software engineer student specialize in..." should be "Software engineering student specialized in..."

In the skills section, capitalization is not hugely important but trivial copy errors can be corrected:

"IOS" to "iOS", "swift" to "Swift", "nodejs" to "Node.js" (or "Node JS"), "Sql" to "SQL", "NoSql" to "NoSQL", "SqlLite" to "SQLite", "Mysql" to "MySQL", "javascript" to "JavaScript", "java" to "Java", "html" to "HTML", "css" to "CSS". You either put everything in lowercase, which make sense because the styling looks like they are "tags" or you use the proper capitalization for each word. But don't mix it, your choice.

Same thing for the experience, things like "api" instead of "API" or "angular 5" instead of "Angular 5" or "Ads" instead of "ads". "RESTapi" should be "REST API".

"and using Adobe framework (flash,photoshop,illustrator)" should be "and using the Adobe suite (Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator)".

Same thing in the experience section. "Google play" should be "Google Play" and so on. Basically google all the names of the tools and use the capitalization they use :D

"this game made until now 200k+ downloads in windows store" should probably be rephrased as "This game as made 200k+ downloads as February 2018", replace it with the month and year of the last time you checked :) Because "now" is a moving date.

"i used Ionic 2" should have a capitalized "I" as in "I used".

In the volounteer experience you use the present tense, but the experience was in the past, so I would rewrite that paragraph using the past tense. Something like: "My role consisted in supervising all IT staff and creating events and trainings related to new technologies inside and outside the university. I also worked on the communication and advertising of such events, in addition to social media."

They are all trivial changes, that's why they are worth getting right. They polish your resume.

Also, make sure the links are clickable if you send this around as a PDF or in a web page or in a presentation format.

Good job so far!

Your website is really beautiful, but there is something that could send a wrong message and be detrimental.

The first time your website is loaded, that is to say without cache, there is a loading bar at the top.
All is well, and I was pretty excited to discover why I was asked to wait.

The loading went on for a few seconds and then I just saw a regular page that didn't make me understand at all why there was a loading.
It seems unnecessary and my knee jerk reaction was This person doesn't care about their craft

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not assuming anything but since it was my initial reaction I'm thinking I won't be the only one and losing a recruiter's interest for such a detail would be a shame.

Your website is SLICK!!! I like what you did with the %'s and the skills, that is a neat touch. I would assume that the left is beginner and right is mastery. You might want to put a little key on that just so people know what the scale is measuring.

For the CV itself.

  • I think the top three sections, Career Objective, Profile, and Personal Qualities you can do without on the CV. They are great but I think you should save them and use them in a cover letter or email that you would write when you are applying. By doing that you can also tailor them to the job you are applying to make sure you emphasis the qualities the job is looking for.
  • Project Undertaken and Research Work - make sure to get the spacing right under the bullets, that will just sharpen it up.
  • In terms of applying for a job I think you can do without Extra-Curricular Activities and Personal Details BUT I would put that you know multiple languages under you skills bc that is definitely not something everyone has.

Hope that helps :)

reminder anything technology wise you include make sure you're ready to be interviewed in it.

I would prefer a more skim-able approach. By that I mean, less wordy, straight to the point especially under your experience. What languages did you use? Why were you an asset to the team? What did YOU accomplish? Do you have any measurements (lowered load time by 3 seconds, for example).

For someone with over 10 years experience I'd love to see more elaboration under your experience.. might as well finish filling out that last half of page :)

Under technical skills, you have an extra / in front of React.

Personal preference to move experience before education.

Overall looks good, I think some minor updates would really be beneficial. Good luck!

Hey!

  • you have a lot of contact info up top - I would only use 1 or 2 most important links. Like if your website links to the others, only use your website. Also make a little larger, looks tiny compared to your body text.

  • remove " from about

  • I like the layout

  • would recommend references be a separate page available on request, also try to get a couple more. Teachers, employers, coworkers etc.

  • Would like to see one page. See if you can reconfigure some things, remove projects that don't pertain to what you want to do, or only list the most relevant ones. OR move projects to a separate page so it's all in one place.

I would increase the font size a bit.

I have a few corrections: "automation at heart" instead of "automation in heart", and "work with experienced software developers" without the "an".

You currently work at Nokia, so you should probably change the label of the section, maybe to something like "Experience" or "Employment history". Previous sounds like "something I used to do but I don't do anymore"

"Scrum master" (without "as additional activity" which is implied) and "since April 2018" instead of "from April".

Instead of saying "mothertongue" you can simply write "native" or "native speaker" in the parenthesis.

"Some of this projects are just one file scripts, and some of them from script becomes a stand alone projects." <- I would totally remove this sentence. It doesn't add value, we all have scripts around. You listed two projects and that's fine.

There are few other corrections incoming, sorry :D

"YouTube to MP3 converter with adding tags" -> "with added tags", or just "with tags"
"Remake of old game with simple GUI" -> "Remake of an old game with a simple GUI"
"attendee on conferences" -> "at conferences"

The last sentence (the one about personal data) keep it optional because it might not mean anything depending on the legislation of the country the company hiring you is in.

Hi!

Love the formatting of you resume, it's very neat. I have a few thoughts that might help tighten it up.

  • Summary: I would remove some of the unnecessary words "I am a frontend Software Developer that loves building appealing UIs that perform well with easy-to-read source code. I really enjoy using React because it makes creating UIs simple and predictable." You could also possibly add something about your future goals.
  • TECHNOLOGIES: LOVE that you put the level you are with each skill
  • Experience: I would put this above TECHNOLOGIES. I would also remove the info in parentheses since that is really not needed. You also use the phrase "Worked on..." a couple times, if you can find something less vague and more descriptive that might be better. Make every word count :)

Hope that helps!

You are definitely going to want to put some details under your Experience section. What did you do as an intern? What languages did you use? As a self employed web developer what have you been working on? Do you have any projects? When I first started I worked on my own project for 3 months which is basically how I learned to code. Then when I interviewed I talked a lot about that project and even gave demos on how it worked. It worked out awesome.

For your boot camp put some details about things you worked on, projects you did, languages that you learned etc. All these extra details will really help people get an idea about what you know and if you are a good fit for the job.

Hope that helps!!! :D

Hi!

  • Education: I would suggest moving Education to the bottom and I would also suggest maybe adding some relevant course work under the header. Anything that taught you skills that will be important for the job you are applying to.
  • Projects: You have so many awesome projects! My one piece of advice would be to talk a little bit about what each project does. Some like the chat app are more self explanatory but for the Waste Management App talk about what features you worked on etc. Also add what languages the apps were in.
  • Experience: Same as projects I would add some more detail about the work you did.
  • Order: I think I would do Experience, Projects, Skills, Education...or Education then Skills. Regardless I would get the Experience and Project stuff to the top since that will likely be the most relevant.

You have a lot of whitespace and while it is VERY neat, dont be afraid to fill that up with some juicy details about what you did. Brag a little bit :) That will help people doing the hiring get a firm grasp on what you know and what you are capable of.

Hope that helps!!!

This looks pretty good! If you have recruiters reaching out to you that probably means you are doing something right!

My one piece of advice would be that you have a couple of details under "Ameripride Linen & Apparel Services" that seem less relevant to finding a dev job.
β€’ "Support the service department by tracking and reporting Customer Service..."
β€’ "Coordinated with Apparel Center to enter new garment orders in a timely manner..."
Maybe remove those so the dev points stand out more.

Another piece of advice I have is that if a recruiter doesn't move forward with you ask why. Tell them you would love feedback so you know what to work on in the future. Couldn't hurt to ask!

Hope that helps :)

Welcome to Dev!

RΓ©sumΓ©e -> ResumΓ© -- And I would leave this off. Chances are no one is going to read it - people want to see what skills and experience you have easily so they can make a quick decision to move forward to go to the next resume. Doesn't mean you can't also include a cover letter when you apply which will closely match the job posting to your skills and makes it personal.
If anything use a career objective - 1 or 2 sentences.

  • make your contact info bigger.
  • talk more on your education, impressive projects you've done, group projects etc.
  • make sure anything listed in skills you're comfortable with - it's fair game to be interviewed on.
  • move experience above skills as you have relevant experience.. maybe before education too.
  • Add blogging to your skills and remove personal blog section - just include the url up top with your contact info. It is impressive - so definitely mention it, but shouldn't be a focus.
  • see if you can fit into one page.

Welcome to Dev!

  • remove background color from body - should be black on white and make sure your green headers are b&w printer friendly and readable. Margins are also really small, so it may cut off also.

  • I'd like to see more elaboration under projects or experience rather than community involvement. Currently that's the bulk of your resume, which I don't think is your intention. Is still a very good thing and definitely deserves to be mentioned - not just in such depth.

Hi Moutaman! I would switch the sections:

  • work history
  • skills
  • everything else

Now that you've graduated probably you don't need the intro.

I would expand on what you're working on now that you're freelancing.

You can't have years of work experience by definition but you can tell what you're doing and learning.

Don't lose your focus and drive, that comes out a lot from your CV.

As others have suggested up in the comments, remember to tailor your CV towards who's the employer. If your strenghts are PHP and Node, maybe lose the "experienced in Java", especially if you're not that interested in doing that. Your knowledge of Android (use upper case for the first letter) development is already a good bonus. I would also remove the first two core skills, because they are implied by the CV

If you can fit everything in 2 pages instead of 3 it's even better!

Good luck

Great idea @kaydacode!

Ok, so here's mine!

To give y'all a bit of background:

  • I'm a former stained glass maker who started working on the web ten years ago,
  • I used to draw infographics and stories for grassroot organizations,
  • I spearheaded inbound marketing and demand generation for an open data startup these past four years,
  • I attended a Ruby on Rails bootcamp earlier this year after quitting my job (got bored of marketing and super interested in building products)
  • I coded harry.team and Strike it during the bootcamp

I enjoy coding so much! It reminds me a lot of craftsmanship: idea => know-how => build it.

I've been interviewing for a first developer job these last three months and I've found it really tough. The technical level most companies (from 3-people startup to 200-people companies) ask for, makes it hard for people with no engineering background to pass through the loops. And I've seen several time people being slightly disappointed (on a technical level) when we met. So I thought that my resume might not tell the proper story (mine).

Would love your feedback and ideas on this!

This resume is HOT!!! Wow, I want to hire you to do mine. Perks of having a marketing background I guess :)

Since you are getting to the interview process thats probably a pretty good indication that your resume is doing what you need it to do. As for the interview, I have a couple thoughts that might help you.

  • First off, coding in front of people sucks, even for the most skilled developers. For this reason my company has take home problems that we give to Jr Devs. This allows them to show us a piece of code but they can do it in the privacy of their home or wherever they are comfortable instead of having someone looking over their shoulder. When you talk to a company ask if they have a take-home problem you can do.
  • Don't discount internships! My first job was a 6 month internship at a 15 person company with the option to hire at the end. I was able to prove myself on the job and at the end of 6 months was hired. When I interviewed for the internship they were well aware how Jr I was so instead of having me write new code they had me show them a project I was working on and I walked the devs through it and how it worked. It was a really great interview experience.
  • Always ask for feedback after an interview if you are turned down. It will only help you improve and get better.

I think companies that have solid mentorship programs will likely have a more doable and friendly interview process that I bet you could nail. Keep your head up, you seem like a solid Jr candidate to me and the fact that you love coding is half the battle. Nothing beats a hungry candidate ready to learn. Good luck!!!!

  • remove blue background from body text. Too difficult to read and probably not printer friendly. Keep the body black on white - and try printing it out in b&w to make sure the shades of the header translate ok.

  • recommend not breaking experience over the two columns. Experience is more important than education after graduation. Maybe moving education and exposure to the right side will fit all experience on the left.

  • would like to see more elaboration on your current project. What tech are you using, how are you valuable to these projects? what big bugs have you saved from going into production etc.

  • Education: I would leave off your grade each year and I would also leave off BISHOP BELL SCHOOL. You have so much college education plus job experience that those other details arent needed.
  • Skills: You have a lot of languages there which is AWESOME! Something to think about doing is paring down that list based on the job you are applying for. Also make sure you are confident in your ability to write code or explain concepts from each of those languages on the spot. I have heard of companies that will pick the most obscure language on a Resume and ask the candidate to code in it so be ready for that. LOVE the non-technical skills, those are good ones to have!
  • Experience: Spot on, I think you have great details for everything.

Honestly my biggest critique would be that if feels a little busy with the two columns. It is nice that it is different but at first I wasnt sure where to look. You might want to consider a standard one column approach or research and find other two column resumes to see how they format it to make it easy to read. I am sure its doable I am just not a "design" person so I dont have any good suggestions.

(I wouldn't put my phone number in the CV)

One thing I would ask you is "what does it mean that you pioneered the development of a distributed DB" ? Maybe you should expand on that or remove it if you can't for contractual reasons.

You seem strong on mobile development, maybe write more about which kind of problems you helped solve as an intern at CoLab (expand the two sections?)

Anyway, really good resume :)

regarding your CV .. I remember one HR once told me that it is good when your CV takes max 2 pages so it can be printed out to just one sheet of paper. So I would say.. you can make your CV shorter and move the content to your website.

One other thing my Mom always told me was that when you are starting out you should have a one page resume and after 5-10 years then you can expand it to 2 pages. Anyone else have an opinion on that? Yours is 2 pages more bc of formatting so it might not matter. For those of you who are doing a lot of hiring, do you have any preconceived notions when you see a 2 page resume?

Hi Mohammed!

Here are a few thoughts I had about your resume.

  • Summary: This is pretty vague, I honestly think you could do without it.
  • Experience: GOOD!
  • Skills: I would remove the line in the middle and let all the bullet points just stand together. I like the bold words, that makes stuff easy to find.
  • Education: Any relevant course work you could list? Did you have any jobs when you were in school that might indicate you have some soft skills for engineering? You have some extra space available so I would use it :)
  • Certifications: I would probably move these up under experience or skills rather than way at the bottom since they seem pretty relevant and important.

Hope that helps!!!

  • love the layout.. make sure to print in b&w and make sure it still looks decent. I think you have enough contrast it should be fine.

  • rephrase "goal digger" as goal oriented, I re-read that 3 times as "gold digger" LOL. Also see if you can consolidate the last two sentences in your objective.. seems like you're saying very similar things.

  • personally I would move "projects" (drop side) before education - that's your relevant experience at this point. Also love that you've elaborated under your education on projects. Include any group projects or software development lifecycle you used also.

overall looks great!

links won't translate well on a printer which recruiters and managers use frequently.

for experience, elaborate more on what you've done - and I love that you broke out the tech stack for each one. It's ok to include links also - just include the full link so a hyperlink isn't necessary.

Keep experience tailored to the job you want, not the job you have. If something goes against what you want, leave it off.

Under abilities - I'd use the same rule. Anything you list is fair game to be interviewed on so make sure you're comfortable with what you list.

I like the order you've laid things out.

Nice! Just a minor correction: "automatic analyze" should be "automatically analyze". Not sure about listing git as a skill (in the sense that nowadays it's a given unless you're a junior junior)

Also make links clickable if you can, usually if you put the protocol (https://) links work. You save the recruiter time, they can click instead of copy and pasting.

Last detail, use the past tense for past positions. Instead of "our services has over 5M users" say "our services at the time had", same for the other verbs. You're already using the past in the list below that.

Also, I would remove the line in the middle of each experience regarding positive feedback prior to departure and much like you’ve seen in other feedbacks on here - add the β€œso what” instead. What business or technology outcomes resulted. That will be more impactful.

If you are making a career switch I would assume you are doing some sort of bootcamp or working on your own projects to learn coding. You will want to highlight those and put them at the top of your resume. Then add any previous jobs that were outside of development, but when you are listing what you did make sure to highlight soft skills that will also be relevant to working in development. Things like team work, leading, time management, stuff like that.

Hope that helps! Good luck with the switch!

Its a resume that ought to get you a call from someone looking for entry-level developers.

However, it does not give one a sense of what you do at your first job, in terms of technology etc. It's very abstract there. So, someone looking for meat, might not respond if s/he has many others to choose from, and those happen to be good matches, with some specifics.

Hi Pawan, don't use the third person in your CV, actually don't use the third person if you're writing about yourself :D

Instead of "thrives etc etc" write "I thrive in an environment that constantly embraces new technologies". It's also a double edged sentence to be honest, because although I perfectly understand what you mean (you like challenges and constant learning) you might also put off someone working at a large company that has an established stack (which is perfectly fine if you're not interested in working in such a company in the first place). Think about it, you're the only one that can know this.

"I am artistically inclined and creative person." -> "and a creative person"
"to drive my career as Product/Solution Architect" -> "as a product..."
"MongoDb" -> "MongoDB"
"Ruby Metaprogramming JavaScript" -> "Ruby metaprogramming, JavaScript"

What's OOPS? I say it because I don't know what it is and if I receive a CV like this I'm definitely going to ask you.

Keep the date range consistent, I know it's little stupid things but not having them is better. So don't mix "Aug 2018 - present" with "Aug 2017 To Aug 2018" with "Dec-2016 To july 2017" with "OCT-2015 To MAY-2016". If you notice they are 4 different ways to specify a date range. Choose one and stick to it. My favorite is "Aug 2017 - Aug 2018"

Make links clickable, if you put links in a CV I should be able to click and open the website.

In the personal information I would give you the same advice as the one I gave you about the intro: no third person.

Hope this helps

For me at least there isn't much distinction in the font/size of the header sections and bullet points within. It makes it hard to scan/skim looking for say companies you worked at. While I wouldn't necessarily change the font faces, I would play around with relative sizing to ensure that section headers are more prominent than job titles, which are more prominent than the bullet points underneath.

Also, again maybe just me, but I hate when a bullet point wraps and loses the indentation of the bullet (first one under Openwater.in).

As for the bullet points losing indentation, It's definitely not just you. I feel the same and fortunately, it's an easy fix. Will update the resume in a while.

First off, I just shared a link to your resume with @jackdeadman96 above as a suggestion for how he might better format is 2 column resume. I have never seen 2 column resumes before today but yours is very easy to read. I like it!

Since you have so many languages and db's listed I would also add what languages and dbs you used in your work experience section. That way people can gauge how long you have been working with a language. Sometimes it is also helpful to include what level you are with each one. I usually say "Proficient in x, y, z" "Familiar with a, b, c"

I would put Work Experience on top and Education under it especially since that is the most relevant experience you have for a dev job.

I also might swap the Publications and the Languages section since those skills are the first things an employer will look for.

Honestly, besides that I really, really like your formatting. Its neat and catchy at the same time.

My overall advice is simplify. The font in the intro is a bit difficult to read - I would suggest shifting it. In these situations, you want to think of your personal brand. How can you find a more streamlined version that still represents you?

Find ways to streamline and highlight the items you really want to standout - that will be the key.

Keep up the energy and talent!

  • First job also indents "Designation", none of the others do.

  • I would change the bullet and possibly indent the specific line items for each job so that it's easier to tell where one job starts and another ends.

  • To me, the background color in the tech skills section is a little off. I'm not sure why you changed the formatting? Might see if you can make it more consistent with the rest of it.

  • There also appear to be a few skills (bolded terms in the job description) that don't show up in the skills section. I'd repeat them. Wouldn't want me to jump to the bottom and miss things.

Hi Sidak!

I went over your resume, the first thing that jump out at me was your use of the word 'expertise'. Since you are still a college student, I think using it is too much. I would add a project section and include any meaningful project you have completed (in school or paid)make sure to include your role, and what you learned. Hope this helps, and good luck!

  • Unless you have to, don't put "Junior" or "Intern" in your job descriptions. You might have to, but if not, there's no reason to.

  • Education. I would put dates as "2017 - present" and then drop "(In Progress)". Feels simpler to me.

  • Consider moving your skills to the top. Since you're just getting started those are the most important things. Don't save them to the end.

Your summary is a little too obviously a list of keywords; leave those for the "Core Technical Skills" section and do something else for the summary. Maybe talk about what drives you or give some extra context?

Project experience: the first couple entries actually have too much detail. Try to get those under control! You want these bullet points to be nothing but hits, and if you have more than about six it'll start to get boring. Avoid boring at all costs. Stuff like "Daily calls/agile scrums" or "Checking in codes and scripts regularly" you can axe outright; basic competence with source control is expected these days, and the cadence of meetings at one employer is irrelevant to your next one (if you were responsible for running process meetings, that's noteworthy).

Use consistent tense. If you like "Design Tableau dashboards", "Maintaining documents" should be "Maintain documents" instead; if you prefer "Maintaining documents", the first item should be "Designing Tableau dashboards".

Core technical skills: BitBucket is not a version control system -- it's a platform offering Git or Mercurial. Break up "Software" into "Databases" and "Reporting Tools" plus any other category that seems appropriate.

Employment history: table contents don't match the header, and instead of role info you've duplicated the organization column.

If a sentence ends with "etc." that's a hint that there's a better way to word it.

Hi Sofiane!

I would remove the blue underline, remove the flags and use the languages names or the ISO codes for them (English is not the US flag, and I'm not entirely sure that the second flag is Turkey's, is it?). Same thing for the French flag, it's not spoken only there anyway :D Since you're talking about levels of proficiency I would say that "native speaker" or just "native" instead of "mother tongue".

I would make the blue darker everywhere, the tags are not that visible.

Love the format otherwise. Well done :-)

  • consolidate your personal information into 3 lines max. No double lines. Also use consistent formatting as you did in body text (not bolded).

  • can you elaborate more on your current position? Very generic.

  • you only graduated 2 years ago, you shouldn't have 3 pages. Elaborate more on recent and more reverent experiences, less so on older or less-relevant experience. Revisit lines with one word carried over, etc.

  • move experience before education now that you've graduated and have plenty of experience.

  • reference should be a separate page available on request.

  • leave off things that don't pertain to your job or being a good employee - make sure you feel comfortable with all things listed in skills as it's fair game to be interviewed on. Good luck!

  • Probably just me, but if you own ceritakelly.com, why not setup an email address at that domain instead of gmail? iam@ceritakelly.com or cerita@ceritakelly.com. Not a big deal, but something I notice.

  • Skills. Find a way to not list HTML first. It's one of those that is almost implied by being a front end developer. I'd still put it on there, just not first. Your other skills are more important IMHO.

  • Why the 4 lines for skills? They appear to be grouped, but have no sections. What would happen if you just made it one long comma separated list? Might read easier.

  • PROJECTS is indented and uses a different format than the WORK HISTORY. Those should be consistent (personally I like the WORK HISTORY formatting).

  • Why no links to those projects? If they are available, it might be useful to see that.

  • EPEK says ".... using HTML and CSS" while Hexadecimal Clock says "...; HTML, CSS". Consolidate those.

  • UAT == I know what it means, but will others? I know you expand it above in skills, but might expand it here as well so it's easier to reason about.

  • Personal pet peeve is the first bullet point under Website Coordinator. It wraps, but loses the indent of the bullet.

  • Deployed over 3000+ ipads... can you talk more about the coordination there? Does it mean you simply handed them out? Or had to manage the entire project. The latter is much more interesting.

  • Why isn't Wordpress, Photoshop, Microstrategy, and Adobe Experience Manager in your skill list?

Thank you, Phillip!

  • I hadn't considered the email address before, but I will now
  • Am I correct to assume that you would want to see JavaScript listed first?
  • I will put more care into consistent formatting - some of the error is from moving between MS Word and Google Docs but I need to pay more attention to it regardless.
  • The projects show as links from my end; I think maybe the formatting I use for the link color makes that unclear. If you click on the title, a box with the URL pops up.
  • For the iPads, I was part of a team that manually configured and distributed them throughout the district. I was responsible for maintenance of about 300 in my assigned school - things like app requests, software updates, tracking inventory.
  • I had been told in the past that some of the skills I put in the descriptions was redundant to also put in my skills list if I wasn't using them currently, but I would agree that they should be there.

  • I think JavaScript first would be good. Mostly I just don't think HTML should be first :)

  • As for skills, I get the point about redundancy. My concern would be if someone skims and/or simply skips to the skills section then they'll have missed those. Perhaps you could break out skills you used to use, but don't anymore. It's still interesting information.

So I think you should largely rework this. I’d get rid of all the non-tech stuff on page two.

I’d like to see more specificity in your technology stuff, maybe broken down by big area, ie:

Node.js: express.js, thing2,
React: redux, mobx, styled components, etc
Build tools: etc

If you don’t have a huge range of experience, include some specific links to work on GitHub that you can gin up (ie, create a react component that does something non-trivial, but not months of work).

Another thing I’d suggest is including some example work of problems you faced earlier in your careeer, and how you’d approach/solve them today.

Hi!

  • Experience: I would put this at the top. I would also remove the general stuff like "The work included: " I think that is implied. Also bullets like "Develop various features from idea to production." are pretty general and dont add a lot of information. Instead keep the bullet points specific. They will give you a lot more bang for your buck that way.
  • Skills: This looks good, put it after experience.
  • Education: Good, I would put this at the very bottom, last.
  • Additional Experience: This is pretty relevant I would put this under the experience rather than in a separate section.
  • Last but not least I would adjust your font size and spacing to get it to fit on one page which should be pretty easy to do since it is close.

Hope that's helpful!!!

  • I would remove the emoji/icons. Just me, but I don't feel like they add anything of value.

  • I find it odd that the section headers are indented, but the content within isn't. Feels like it should be the opposite of that? And I would consider indenting the bullet points for each of the job positions.

  • I love the list of specific skills used in each job, but I think they are too heavy with the bold-black-on-gray. Would be interesting to play with that a bit. Perhaps move it up below the job start/end dates and put in a similar smaller font.

  • Skills... consider having the section headers match the formatting of the job headers. This is also true for the following sections. You've got 4 different styles of bullet points. Consolidate all of them into one and keep the formatting/indentation/style the same. This will me as a reviewer focus on the content and not wonder why the arrow type changed (thus distracting me).

Hi Manish!

While I appreciate writing the last update time, I feel your font choice and layout with small margins and packed sections make it hard to read as a whole.

Maybe you can also condense each project description in a single short sentence. After all you've plenty of work experience already and even a founded startup!

All you recent grads have SO much experience, this is awesome!!!

Overall this is pretty clean. My one thought is that it feels like you are looking at a wall of text when you first look at it which can be overwhelming when you are a recruiter with a lot of resumes to get through. I think to help that I would do bullet points under you "Projects" instead of solid paragraphs.

I would also switch Projects and Experience in terms of ordering.

Your summary is pretty general. I would focus it more towards what you are passionate about specifically. You talked about a strong background in design, is that something you want to do more of? Would you lean towards a frontend job over the backend? Most people will put something about being eager to learn, use that space to really give details about what you are looking for and that will allow a company to gauge if you are a good fit for them or not.

Hope that helps!!! Keep up all the awesome work!

Hi!!!

+1 for being from Ireland, half my husbands family lives over there :) As for your resume I have a few thoughts.

  • It is pretty long. I would suggest shortening it up to 1 page. I would do this by eliminating the first summary and saving that for a cover letter or email that you would send with the resume. I would also avoid writing paragraphs. I think it is a lot easier for those reading your resume if you use bullet points. It will also force you to make every word count and ensure you are not using a lot of fillers.
  • I would move your job experience up to the very top and follow that with skills or education.
  • I would pare down your skills. It is AWESOME that you have so many, but when you are applying for a job make sure to only include the ones that are relevant for that job.
  • I would remove your references, no need to waste space with other people's contact info. Instead I would suggestion writing "References available upon request" at the bottom

If you have time I would suggest reading this Resume Writing Tips blog I wrote. Might have you ideas to tighten this up a bit.

Hope those suggestions help :)

I'm just one point of view of many, but I'd say…

  • If you're mentioning your GitHub-Profile, maybe fill out a bit more of your profile-info on there. It looks a bit empty currently. Add a non-placeholder profile-image.
  • add your E-Mail-Address. Get one with your own domain (hi@shawnard.com or similar).
  • While you're at it, make a short but nice personal website. Show what you can do.
  • Link to the mentioned projects. Make sure they are available somewhere online. Or at least add some screenshots.
  • Shorten the "publications"-part a bit. It's good to have that in a general CV, but when you apply for tech-positions (outside the biology-field) it may not be as relevant.

Soooo much good experience! Your details are fantastic and I love that you list the tools used under each job. I only really have a couple formatting suggestions.

  • I think you could get rid of "Responsibilities" under each job since that is implied.
  • I would call that section "Experience" instead of "History" Not sure why but History just makes me think of a museum or old things.
  • To help section it a little more I would make the section titles bigger or move them to the left. Right now its hard to tell that "Certifications / Education" is not another job.
  • I would tighten up the spacing between the bullets to make it feel "less long"

Overall, really solid. Hope those little suggestions help :)

Hi Estelle!

Nice colorful format! I would increase the font of the descriptions a point or two, it's quite small.

A few typos and corrections:

  • "carreer" -> "career"
  • "started to work here a year and a half etc" should be "I started to work there a year and a half ago doing integrations of mockups in HTML and CSS"
  • "GraphQL" instead "GraphQl"

Although the tour guide is a cool job I'm not sure it should have the same importance of everything else, after all you're trying to become a software developer. Hence, instead of four sections I would make three, the first one is your start up job, the second one your uni and the third one the certification. I'm all in favor of dropping work experience if it's not relevant for the position you're looking for.

Hope it make sense to you, if you still want to mention it, maybe rename the "Hobbies" section in "Passions", mention "Tour guiding" and that will make a nice conversation topic for an interviewer interested in the argument :)

Lots of great stuff going on here!!!

My first thought is that it is all a little tight. One thing I think you can do without are your Secondary schools, I dont think they add much value. You have so much project and work experience that I think you can do without those.

I think I would do without the little icons, I think if you removed them they might help it feel a little less crowded and a little more sleek.

The links I think you should also pare down a bit. When recruiters and companies are looking at resumes they dont have a ton of time to spend on them. I would keep a couple really important links to things you really want to show off then get rid of the rest.

LOVE the Skills section and that you tell exactly what level you are with each skill.

I would give the edges some white space padding so it feels less cramped and remove the black border, that might also help it feel less cramped.

Really impressive experience you have! Keep rocking it :D
