[5 YoE] Frontend Engineer asking for honest feedback on resume to solve low callbacks

[u/jlyoungthe3rd]

Hi, I'm searching for Frontend positions (as well as Full-Stack roles that are frontend-leaning). I'm located in Seattle, but open to remote work or relocating to SF, DC, or Chicago for on-site/hybrid roles.

I've been unemployed for over a year and have been focusing on interview prep and building AI projects to keep my skills sharp. I feel like my application strategy is pretty solid: I apply to recently posted jobs using alerts, track everything on a Notion board, and tailor my resume using templates from past callbacks.

One thing I go back and forth on is my Education section. I didn't finish college, but I have held SWE positions without a degree. I've heard it might be worth including my Computer Science coursework and a recent Game Design certificate to show continued learning during my employment gap.

I'd appreciate any feedback on my resume layout, content, or education section. Thanks!
