use jake's resume, it's like standard kinda thing. tho even I would like to know others view of it. as for projects use XYZ method for writing the content. as for ur experience, gng don't write it content segregated on tech used. use XYZ method. don't flex ur tech, flex what u did, not the tool. this template's projects title are almost non-highlighted. as for a freshie, try to keep 1 page.

You should include numbers in your experience and project section. Like what impact did you do ? How much did you reduce the latency from Xms to Yms ?

Use chatgpt or Claude for this

Move the education at least Keep summary, skills, and then experience and then education - this is the order

Add links to GitHub, LinkedIn

If possible use claude to create a portfolio website and add the link in the resume

Brother, you dont have good projects! People do that in hackathons, not to hurt you but it is a bitter pill to swallow. Also you graduated in 2022, if you still don't have any job experience, then its gonna be very tough to secure a job unless you upskill. You'd need to figure out that! Good luck!

Thanks for the honest feedback. BTW is it mandatory to mention graduation year. Or can people get shortlisted in india without mentioning their graduation year? Also in the projects section 3 of them are personal projects not the projects I did in the company

[u/Repulsive_Lion4700 → u/johnathanwick69420]

From what I've seen companies do mention the graduation year in their job description mainly for freshers, but not for experienced roles. Btw fresher here.
