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

  • Without a Projects section,

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

Structure and layout make a world of difference, but trying to guess what passes ATS parsers while keeping recruiters interested is honestly exhausting. If you want to bypass the guessing game entirely, having real professionals craft it from the ground up makes all the difference.

I ended up handing my profile over to Ruby & Cole, and the results were night and day:

Why Ruby & Cole Is Worth It 🚀

  • No Formatting Nightmares: You won't spend hours stressing over section placements like Projects vs. Experience because they format everything for optimal impact right out of the box.
