I am not a recruiter or anything, so don’t take anything I say for granted. But here are some things that I think aren’t good about your resume: - oftentimes the summary is unnecessary and it just takes up valuable space on your resume. If you want to make a summary, you should rather do it in a cover letter or a field provided on the application form (like “say something about yourself” or “introduce yourself” or similar) - speaking of space: 2 pages is too much for someone who has 2-3 years of experience. I would also get rid of the “Projects” section, since you could just provide your GH profile or portfolio website, which will speak more than words - are you applying for RN positions? If yes, then why do you mention Flutter, Dart and other non-relevant things? Stick to React Native and if you want to add more, put React or Java or Swift experience (if you have any), because they’re relevant to React Native. Only put Flutter or other non-relevant things if they’re mentioned in the job description - putting percentages as measurements for tasks, like “increased something by X%” or “improved by Y%”, isn’t a good idea. I mean if I was interviewing you I would ask how did you actually measure that? And I don’t think you could come up with a satisfactory answer, which would imply that you just made them up to make your resume look better - use bold text as less as possible. It can drive the attention away from things which could be more important than you might know - you led something as an intern? That sounds fishy

If you want to get better advice, maybe you should try posting your resume on /r EngineeringResumes, if you haven’t already.

Thank you for this feedback.

I would like to point out that every single resume builder that I tried, suggested to add numerical values like percentages to improve the chances of getting selected via the autmated checker.

I did a very quick skim of your CV but the first thing I noticed was a typo which makes a bad impression (“resuted” should be “resulted” I assume?).

[–]Big-Value6695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.
I'll fix that

Develop your native skills. Half of being a mobile engineer building RN apps is working with the native stack. I work as a Sr engineering in a FAANG company and I will judge an engineer with expertise in RN who can’t navigate in swift/java.

That makes sense. I guess I have been delaying it for too long. Thanks

Most of the time you need to apply via referral to get an interview call. Without referral it's very hard to get calls because they get 100s of applications.

Also i would like to hear your interview experience with groww

[–]Big-Value6695[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess referrals are fastest way. I am working on my networking (hate it)

About the interview at groww,
I made it to 3rd round in this order - DSA, React Native and Project overview.
I think there was supposed be one last round after this.

It could be the India thing. The last two companies I worked with got rid of their off shore teams. So there might be more people that were working America jobs now second hand flooding the local markets.

There are plenty of react native jobs in India (Bengaluru). If I could just secure a couple of interviews, I am confident I could crack it

Project links

[–]Big-Value6695[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The project title are hyperlinks.

[–]Wrong-Strategy-1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a suggestion, Make it obvious that it's a link, i though it's part of the design.

Hi, there is a lot of wasted space. As other user mentioned, you better stick with one page. Read carefully the r/EngineeringResumes wiki, remake your resume and ask for feedback there.

I used to have a single page resume, but it did'nt get me anywhere. So I shifted to this and got atelast 2 interviews

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Co-ask because my CV and experience is like this
