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 :)

Thank you.

I think they reach out to me because I have Java on my resume, but end up ghosting or dropping communication with me because I don't have enough relevant or recent experience.

As for those two points, those were a major part of my job. It wasn't a dev role, and neither is my current one, really.
