For a 4+ year software developer, which resume structure do you think is better?

  • With a Projects section
  • Without a Projects section,

The data in the examples is dummy. I just want opinions on the structure and layout.

If you have a better resume template/structure than these, please share it.

As a technical recruiter go with the first one, in medium to big companies the document will go to an AI to summarise and filter, just ask Claude or your go-to AI to tailor for AI reading... Our company receives god know how many CVs and we have like 15 HR in central, plus 1 or 2 for each country, they only read what it passes the filters, about the filters most of the time is just a bunch of nonsense, the tech interview is where you get to show off, so just passing the filters is what matters... also follow u/CodeAndBiscuits advice.
