I always struggle with the education part since I never really was able to finish any type of school, so I just put Hard Knocks. Or I could just put "No School had to get a job new baby on the way".
While formal education is good, I think practical education can be worth so much more! Having taken relevant classes or doing bootcamps I think a lot of times is more valuable than just having a degree bc that is the "right thing" to do. If you took valuable classes in high school or college I would list them, then just leave off a graduation date. Or load up on experience and projects if you have more of those things. If you want feedback on your resume I would happy to help and take a look :)
Hi Molly!
It seems that I came too late to the party =(. I posted my resume, but I had no luck.
hope you don't mind taking a look at my resume. I'm currently looking for a remote job, and I know my resume needs to give a good first impression of me.
First off, I would suggest putting your experience at the top followed by your projects since those are going to be the most relevant to your future employer when they are trying to determine if you are capable of doing the job.
I would also recommend adding more details to your experience positions. "Software and web development" is really vague. What exactly were you working on? What languages were you using? The most descriptive you can be the better the picture you will be able to paint for your prospective employer.
Your projects have AWESOME details but I would suggest making them bullet points so they are less of a wall of text. This will make them easy to quickly read. Under projects I would put your skills and then under that I would add your education. Since your skills will be lower on the page I would suggest adding what language you worked with to each experience so as someone is reading down your resume they can get an idea for what languages you are most experienced with.
Hope that helps!
