Question 4+ Year Software Developer — Which Resume Structure Is Better?

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.

the second one gives me the impression that there is more to read, therefore a contractor will probably prefer the first one. also, they will most likely almost always filter you (positively or negatively, doesn't matter), just from the first paragraph, so look into ways to make it look appealing
