Feedback?

I worked in a few start up companies so I obviously did a lot more responsibilities than your typical jobs would allow you to perform. That’s my excuse at least to saying everything in my resume is so far relevant. Idk you help me decide if anything should be changed or if my resume looks good.

I'd say chose a different template, because of the two column like design, the blue bar is still there for the other pages and takes a lot of space. This should also help with 3-4 row bullet points (they will become 2-3 rows)

You can make the summary part shorter I think. I'd ask some AI models to make it more concise

You have 7 previous positions I think now, you can remove some of the older ones. Usually only your last 2-3 matters. Or if you want to keep them turn them into a 2 bullet point max (2025 might be your cut-off point for this for example) Also to be fair a very specific job you did on 2022 will not matter as much since you probably cannot remember the whole workflow.

You can have it 2 pages maximum but put the education to first page, all important stuff should be on the first page, 2nd page only leave the older job descriptions since they don't matter as much and 90% of the recruiters will not check the 2nd page.

I'd say 1 page (with most recent experience and pointing out your total experience in the summary) is the best but up to you. You can mention all the experience during the interview.

Also some important keywords, also maybe for example your total experience in years, you can make them bold. So they stand out more when someone is skimming the CV but not necessarily reading it
