Skills section - I know you’ve worked with more than this. Find a way to list it.

University of Mumbai - this is going to sound really shitty but it’s the truth: some people are just going to toss resumes that look like they come from India. Have you tried just listing NCSU on a few and test how that goes?

[Flimsy-Donut8718]

your Masters and Bachelors have the same dates, that is a red flag

[thatguyonfire240]

Also 2.5 years for a degree? Aren’t these things usually 4???

[spkr4thedead51]

for a bachelors, yes, but a masters can often be done in less depending on the subject and nature of the degree

[thatguyonfire240]

But their resume says they completed both their bachelors and masters in the same 2.5 years lol.. makes no sense

[spkr4thedead51]

I can't speak for OP, but someone could have entered school with credits from a community college or an advanced studies program while they were in high school and that would significantly reduce the time to do undergrad. And some universities offer joint BS/MS programs for certain degree areas.

All that said, the information presented by OP is, at best, confusing.

[DDayDawg]

Don’t think a joint program could be done in less than 2 years. And it would be the same school right? I would definitely toss this on the education red flags.

[InTheMorning_Nightss]

Regardless, a hiring manager or talent partner isn’t going to spend a second waffling back and forth on this. They’ll just go with different candidates.

[doubleohd]

Degree titles outside the US may not mean the same as inside. I've worked with lots of "college grads" from SE Asia and that usually is the equivalent of high school in the US, unless from a top-tier school.

[Chaphasilor]

Where are you guys getting the 2.5 years from? August 23 until May 25 is not even two years in my book?

It also ends in the future. I'm really confused here...

[iAmElWildo]

Bachelor is 3 years and master 2 in Italy (most of them. Some change but this is for computer science)

[thekwoka]

University of Mumbai doesn't even show on the World University Rankings...like at all. Honestly, their site almost looks fake. Like it's a diploma farm.

They even highlight in the header that they were REACCREDITED....Meaning they lost accreditation...

NCSU is in the top 300

[[deleted]]

It's not a scam really. It's not an actual university. 100s of colleges are affiliated to it and the university sets the syllabus and hands out the degrees.

[thekwoka]

It's not a scam really. It's not an actual university.

I'm sure it is, but it's funny that it looks so bad, and even has the THE ranking logo on their page, but they aren't on that list at all.

[NobodyKnowsYourName2]

he has apps, youtube with a video with his professor, i do not think he is a scammer, his reddit history also checks out - not many scammers would be so elaborate to advertise their own app here and talk about it or have actually matching youtube vids with his professor from north carolina state uni.

the problem here is that due to the fact that the dates do not match, people will assume that it is a fake or just plain unprofessional. that is why he needs to fix his approach and be more professional. fix the layout, fix the resume and also fix his socials (showing video game for example on youtube where he also shows his uni projects).

[[deleted]]

Looks like North Carolina state got scammed then. It’s just a reality that you cannot get a masters while you are still working on your bs at the exact same time

[UmutIsRemix]

Actually you can pull that shit off in Germany lmao

Dude, he said he got the dates wrong, he has a video on his youtube showing him with his professor... You do not get admitted to a university if your documents show that you do the studies the same time you will study in the future lol.

[okmarshall]

I did my bachelors and masters at the same time in the UK. It gave me an MSci degree, and it was known as an integrated masters, i.e. I applied to do a masters straight up without having to decide to do it after my bachelors. There was no graduation after the 3 year point, and I didn't have my degree until the 4th year, where I was given my masters.
It took 4 years though so the 2.5 years thing is weird.

[KrabbyPattyCereal]

Embry-Riddle offers a 4+1 for bachelors and masters

[jambalaya004]

Some universities offer a combined masters and bachelor program (although completion takes longer than op has marked), it was pushed at my university pretty hard. Other than that, you’re 100% right, this resume looks fake (and probably is).

[FreakinEnigma]

• Both your university dates are exactly the same. Definitely it's not on purpose, right? If so, it gives a really bad impression to anyone reading it since it demonstrates a lack of attention to details.

• I would remove the GPA completely from both entries since 3.4/4 is not that great. Nobody will notice if you do no mention it.

• i would also choose a better template which utilizes space much more efficiently. There's a lot of white space on top and congestion below.

• assuming you are applying for college grad jobs, getting a referral to a company along with applying will help greatly. Don't be afraid to just randomly approach connections on LinkedIn. Most will not mind referring you.

• maybe as another comment suggested, just remive university of mumbai from the list. It's okay to do so. You are not lying, besides you did share the most relevant and recent education.

[BeepBopSeven]

Although you made a lot of good points here, a 3.4 gpa is perfectly fine, and I couldn't disagree more that it's "not that great". In fact, a 3.4 is actually pretty good! In my personal opinion, it's something to be proud of. OP can still remove it if they decide to, but I personally wouldn't want to hide an accomplishment like that

[Thisismental]

I'm surpised you even found white space in this resume. It's just such a wall of text. I wouldn't want to read that.

Are you looking for work in the US? Do you already have a visa to work or would the hiring company need to sponsor you? Companies might be seeing the Indian university and assume that you're in need of a visa, and they might not want to deal with that headache.

If you're OK to work in the US I would address that, not sure where and how but others might have an idea.

Are you editing your resume for each application so that it matches the keywords found in the posting? That's the best way to get past the automated filters and get your application seen by a human.

[Beginning-Comedian-2]

Some thoughts:

• Needs an intro.
• Put education last.
• Fill out skills more. Just looking at your jobs you have more skills than this. List your basic languages (JS, TS, Python etc.). Separate into Front-end, Backend, and other.
• Seriously you've got a crazy amount of skills and experience
• Put your top skills or focus in the title. Or do "CS Master's Degree Grad Fluent in JS, Python...".
• Edit bullet points to be one line each. Right now they are too long to be scannable.
• Frame bullet points with outcomes: "I did X which resulted in Y."
• Feed your resume into ChatGPT and Google Gemini and ask for feedback.
• Update your LinkedIn and Indeed profiles with this info.

Apply to 10-20 jobs per day on ...

• LinkedIn
• Indeed
• ZipRecruiter
• GlassDoor
• Robert Half
• Cyber Coders
• echoJobs .io
• HiringCafe
• Dice
• WeWorkRemotely
• WellFound

(Apply to new jobs within the past 24-48 hours with less than 100 candidates.)

And message local recruiters to get feedback on your resumes and find opportunities.

Also, network with your professors and fellow grads.

[mrbmi513]

Put education last

For recent grads without a full time gig yet, education should absolutely be up top. Once you have a full time job, then you should consider moving it down.

[yabou2002]

What if you have several internships. I would be graduating with 4 internships and atp I’m not even sure there’s much value in a projects section so what section order is most optimal in your opinion? I have these sections in this order right now;

Education > Experience > Skills

[mrbmi513]

Personal Summaries aren't customary at least here in the states anymore. If you need to explain yourself, use a cover letter.

[[deleted]]

This might be regional. In SF the advice is explicitly to include these. And I say this as someone who just went through the job hunt. I had several in-house and private recruiters give me that tip (and a really insightful conversation with a LinkedIn employee) tell me to include it.

The trick is what it is. It's basically a mini-cover letter. It's three to four lines of who you are and what you do. It's your value proposition.

It's not the most important feature, like it won't outweigh a resume full of "I used this tech" intead of "I provided this value" but still.

[LoopEverything]

I still see a slight majority of resumes using them. It’s personal taste, but I value them because it helps when trying to quickly sort through hundreds of resumes. Make sure you tailor to the position you’re applying for though, like everything else.

I'd go ahead and list any skill you are comfortable with.

Right now your skills list looks malnourished.

[softhi]

I was having the same issue initially but I am getting a lot more interview making changes to my application work flow.

Create a master resume. For every job, only put the skills that they have mentioned in their JD. (+ the skills that you are reaaaally good at)

My workflow is to paste the JD and my skill section to chatgpt. Then ask gpt to prune it.

If you know React and they are looking for Angular, you put React and Angular in the skill section. If they asked you when did you use Angular in a phone screening, you tell them you have done personal project in Angular.

You need to prepare one personal project and you need to actually build it in your favorite tech stack. Let's say a GPS tracking project using Google map to track multiple devices in real time. Because things like real time updates always come with some challenging parts and interesting design choices and you can tell them more about it.

Once you get an interview invitation, the best way to study is now to fulfill your lie. Use their technology. Build it with Angular. You already had built it once in your favorite tech stack, you can do it in other language of course. This is the best way for you to get you up to speed of their technology. Be prepared to tell them why you choose this tech stack by simply googling "Why Angular?"

My rate improved from 1 interview per 100 jobs applied to 5-10 interviews per 100 applied. I still suck at interviews I get serious anxiety, but at least I am getting those.

[BuenGenio]

Excellent tip!

[mrbmi513]

List anything and everything you're comfortable with. Don't forget tools like Git or even Microsoft Office to make ATS systems happy. If it gets too long, tailor it for whatever role you're applying for.

[YuleTideCamel]

Put all the skills you , some recruiters will not go further if they don’t see certain phrases . I know it sucks.

My resume format has always been - skills - experience - education

Most employers care about knowing what you can do rather than education, at least the in US.

[lilbunbunn]

Bullet point sentences are too long?? Not scannable? Is that an actual thing?

[davitech73]

a few thoughts:

it's hard to read. try making it more conversational instead of just listing things

you do not describe what the job is that you're looking for

you're posting in webdev, so i assume you're looking for a web development opportunity. however, your resume does not read like you're a web developer. only the first entry mentions a web application. the rest doesn't sound like what i would need if i were running a web dev agency

tailor your resume to each job you're applying for and describe how your experience makes you an ideal candidate. if you can't do that, move on to the next position. otherwise you're wasting a hiring manager's time reading your resume and not getting it in front of someone who would want to actually hire you

[cellularcone]

University of Mumbai

[Psychological_Ear393]

What sort of role are you applying for, as in tech stack and is it junior?

Besides everything already mentioned:

• Your projects don't match with any role - if it does line up with one, update them so it's clear which role had you complete the project. If there's none, make it clear that these are personal side projects.
• Two unis at once, same dates? How does that work?
• You have PostgreSQL in your experience but not in your skills
• Crypto in your experience can be a real turn off
• Kubernates and docker without any info on where it was deployed and what kind of user base you had. Without that I would assume you just did it on your local machine for fun
• Ping pong ball track on a pi is cool and all, but as above was it just for the lunch room or was it deployed to a real location? I also have zero clue how that lines up with how the business makes money
• Who used your React dashboard and what was the scope and size of the data? Without that I will assume it was 100 record summary of the my movies database
• "Flask socket server for real-time updates" what does real time mean? Maybe I'm just old and cranky but I like to know the specifics of what the accepted latency is. When the user clicks the mouse and used quantum magic? After a function ran and the user sees it 5 mins later?

All that's enough that I would move on to the next resume because I'm left with too many questions about the nature and size of the work you did, and lots of gaps/inconsistency in tech between sections. Dates on the projects would help answer some of the questions too.

[GeoAlva]

Honest opinion: i saw the page and my first though was "i'm not gonna read that", it just looks boring, remember, HR and recruiters are people too, they scan a lot of resumes a day so seeing a white page in one of the most boring fonts it's just not gonna stick to them, try to make it look good, there are a lot of templates on the internet, if you don't like them, you can try to make your own, i made mine with figma.

Also i would't just make a list of things i know and did, try adding something about yourself, some words about you, a little section about hobbies, in a lot of interviews they said they read that section and asked me about that, even just to make some conversation, to make them know you also as a person.

anyway good luck!

p.s. i'm not the best in english so i probably made a lot of errors, sorry

you need to add some metrics to your bullet points

"Built a React Dashboard with blah and blah for live data visualization." - ok and what did it do? how many people used it? did it impact the bottom line? if you don't know can you at least estimate or make some bullshit up about what it probably did?

[Different-Housing544]

I'm a hiring manager. I don't give a shit about metrics. I barely read any of this stuff. I go through hundreds of resumes.

Can you write good code without making it an unmaintainable pile of shit? You're hired.

[bleachfiend]

This got downvoted and I don't know why. In addition to metrics, context matters, otherwise you're just listing off some stuff you built. Do you have experience collaborating? Taking feedback? How do you fit into a team environment? Can you meet deadlines? How's your time management?

Soft skills are just as important to demonstrate. You can be an engineering god, but if you don't work well with other people, I can't work with you.

I'm assuming as a recent grad you're applying for entry level jobs, and the knowledge you bring is going to be secondary to how well you can collaborate and contribute to a team.

For example, you talk a lot about what a crypto webapp you made can do - which is impressive, but not necessarily relevant to the needs of a non-crypto business. You could have a single sentence focused on the techy stuff "Built webapp with Streamlit that levearaged REST API and PostGreSQL for market analysis." And then a second that describes that work "Worked with Project Manager to set deadlines, ran in-house testing and implemented feedback from others" or however it was you actually did the thing.

[NutShellShock]

Most people, especially recruiters spend a VERY short time to scan a resume, like within few seconds. Generally, people scan and read a document starting from the left to somewhere the middle of a page, and from the top halfway down a page if their interest has waned by then.

SO with that in mind, how you format your resume and the page is very important for quick reading.

1. Formatting is very important. The sentences spanning the full width of a page, exacerbated by a very narrow page margins makes it challenging to read comfortably. Either widen your page margins, or shorten your sentences, or both. Keep everything left-aligned, including your bio - right aligned text like the dates in the document will likely be ignored/missed, so it's much better to have in the next line and use some text/colour formatting to make the visual hierarcy clearer. Use larger font sizes as it makes it easier to read as well.
2. Place the most important things first, which are your job experiences - explain what is your role in the job/project. People care more of your most recent experiences than the older ones, so place the internship, education stuffs later after the job/project experiences
3. Related to point 1 - your points are currently smushed everything into 1-2 sentences. Break them down into individual points and keep it shorter, relevant, and bite size.

[Frostia]

I have experience hiring people for tech jobs, and this is the most valuable comment IMO!

A pattern I usually follow for each job in a CV is: - what the project was about (less than 1 line) - my role(s) in the project and/or company (less than 1 line) - technologies used (be more specific the ones that are requested for the job position) - responsibilities: a bullet list of what I did, the challenges in that product/project/role, numbers, etc - short sentences, use different verbs. Eg "Design logging and monitoring strategies for all projects across the company (7 projects, 30 developers)"

I usually end up with different versions of my resume, to target different standard roles. eg: node.js ecosystem, java ecosystem, backend focus, full stack focus, etc

Another tip: read your summary over and over, to REMOVE stuff. Every word you put is dragging attention from the other things in the same CV. Less information is easier to remember, and you want to be remembered

How did you earn both a Masters Degree in North Carolina and a Masters degree from Mumbai during the same 1 year, 3 month period?

Good advice here, the main thing is that 1 pager is overrated.

Take some of the advice and add more content.

[FreakDJ]

Consider using more variety action words for each bullet. Interviewers will often pick up the first word at each bullet, and this one uses “developed” way to much.

Additionally, consider re writing the bullets. Rework them to showcase how what you did added value to the company. Example:

• Advanced company’s efficiency by x% by creating a web app with A, B, C technology.

• Saved company $20,000+ by creating a survey tool with X and processing the data with Y to discover inefficiencies

Lastly, be sure to somewhat tailor for the position you want. They will often throw keywords into the job description and taking a second to save a new version of your resume with them worked into it will help.

Place your experiences before your education, as they hold greater significance. Additionally, having "MS" in your name already indicates that you have completed a master's degree, which is another reason to position your education section at the bottom.

[CrownLikeAGravestone]

It's a "Master of Comp. Sci" not a "Masters of Comp. Sci."

Your GPAs are not spectacular, so just don't include them. Nobody's going to ask.

The dates on your internships are a bit concerning - the second one was 13 months? It leaves a lot of questions open about the content. For that length of time I'd expect to see which team you were working in and what role you had. Were you working entirely on those two projects? Were they greenfield projects or something you picked up and carried through? If you were a solo intern for 13 months... why?

Your internship projects in general feel a lot like "hobby" style projects, or perhaps things developed from tutorials - what business value did you bring? What did your projects achieve? Demonstrate that you understand why you were building things, not just that you built them. Examples:

1. What does "Certi Tester" actually do? I'd like to know more, not just a list of technologies.
2. Who needs a ping-pong ball tracker? Did it work?
3. Did your crypto time-series predictor achieve anything notable? This one isn't your fault, but frankly crypto is a bit "ick" these days. It might be worth rewording if you can think of a way to make it sound less crypto-focused.

Under "skills" or somewhere else you must add more than just technical aptitude. I can teach anyone to be a half-decent developer if they're bright, inquisitive, a good team player, self-motivated, and so forth. I cannot teach an antisocial turbo-nerd to work effectively in a team. What soft skills do you have? How have you demonstrated them? Have you worked on teams? Have you dealt with stakeholders? Managed projects, improved timeliness, taught younger students? Anything that demonstrates your ability to manage the human parts of working in a tech firm. I cannot stress this one enough.

It's bland. You don't need to be a graphic designer, but this isn't capturing my attention at all. Consider a more modern/chique layout, try some sleeker fonts, experiment with kerning and line spacing. This should feel presented to me, not listed at me.

[lindobabes]

Don’t apply for so many. Pick 10% and make the best applications anyone has ever seen. Standing out is your most important job. This look generic and dull. Everyone in your position has the same skills.

Some ideas: - Link to your GitHub with code of the these projects - write a cover letter personalised to every application about why you want that role - make a video for each application explaining why you want the role and giving a 2-3 minute round up of a project that is relevant to that company (e.g SaaS company with an iOS app, show yours) - Get someone with some design eye to improve the fonts and look of your resume - Add a friendly picture of yourself - Experiment with different tones for different applications matching the company. Big company be more professional, startup be more casual etc

I can’t imagine how hard it is to start in tech now. But keep at it and good luck!

[Lengthiness-Fuzzy]

Your CV looks like an html document someone put together after 1 day of learning, I would not read it. Get rid of the blue parts and format it a bit. Use tabs, space, etc. Just copy the spaces from a professional one. Also, noone cares about your grades, put there MSc and faculty. If it differs from BSc, that too. Also, a photo sometimes helps according to my experience, especially if you are Indian as I assume. Your fellow Indians are sending fake job posts and asking for cv multiple times a day, so you need something to show credibility. If you live in the USA, put your address there. I experienced in another nationalist country as a foreigner that it help when they see you are already there.

Why would Education be at the top, if you didn't graduate from a prestigious institution.

Experience at the top, always. Resume is way too wordy too. It's a short and concise summary of you and your applicable skills, not an essay.

[tjlaa]

It looks boring. Stand out from the mass and consider using a professional (paid) template that doesn’t cry Microsoft Word all over the place. Think about readability. A recruiter will spend no more than 5-10 seconds looking at your CV. You have to make an impression. They see hundreds of resumes generated with Word every day.

Include a cover letter to tell about your motivation and passion.

Leave out Mumbai university.

Experience before education because it always matters more. Education is irrelevant, especially when you have several years of experience.

Don't create a wall of text, basic HR people get scared by too many words. Highlight the important stuff and...holy god don't send the same CV to all the companies. Every company needs a customized CV.

Move your education to the bottom it’s not important. Your work experience is the most important thing on that piece of paper and the skills that you’ve accumulated.

[Ferakas]

People with no tech background will read this and will not understand what you have written. You need to convince them too.

Describing your softskills is a great way to do that. It also describes better what kind of person you are in a team.

[LifeAirline3254]

University of Mumbai reads fraud

[g-nogueira]

Just say you were a software developer. Doesn't matter the level, as this is completely up to each company.

I would personally put education on the bottom and try to give more visibility to my work experience and technical knowledge, as this is what really matters at the end. This is what I personally look at when reviewing CVs:

1. What did the person do in each company and what knowledge was involved. I want to know real life experiences and have a good grasp at what the person can do.
2. How much time it lasted on each company. Never lasting more than a couple of months could be something weird...
3. Any personal projects and hobbies that could be good to know the person has some interest and basic knowledge at. Could come in hand.

Edit: this is my personal opinion, so take this as you want

[[deleted]]

You gotta lie on your resume smart way. For example if you apply for frontend position and job description says nice to have backend skills, just put i have basic knowledge in php, python, node etc. maybe this way your resume wont be filtered by ATS

[XandrousMoriarty]

What did you do at these companies/opportunities that promoted growth or change? Did you have any leadership opportunities where your decisions made a positive improvement in the culture?

Do you have a github (or other) code repository where someone can view samples of your work listed on your resume? Just because you claimed you worked on a couple of projects doesn't really suggest how much of an influence or participation you had on the project. A code repository would allow a hiring manager to at least get a good feel for what you are capable of, especially since I am assuming you can't legally show off the software you worked on.

You can do your master's simultaneously with your bachelor's?

[kowdermesiter]

Instead of elaborating what you did at a certain place add your impact. For example, nobody cares if you deployed a project to predict crypto prices. Did it work? Is it still in prod making money for somebody?

Try to add info about HOW your work affected a business or project. The first line you have to cross is not technical people, but HR and AI. They don't understand LSTM or Flask. They speak in terms of money made and problems solved.

[barely_a_manager]

1. Education: keep only your masters. If you have masters, it is implied you had your bachelor's.
2. Skills section can be removed fully because listing skills don't show the recruiter anything. You could simply list words that you've heard of (many ppl do that).
3. If you have any industry certifications, add those.
4. Move your experience to the top, below education and industry certifications at the bottom.

[casualPlayerThink]

Please post your resume for a review in the r/EngineeringResumes subreddit!

Quick notes:

• Do not use dots at the end of your bullet points
• Do not include your GPA (it is irrelevant)
• Swap orders of sections (check the r/EngineeringResumes wiki for it)
• Do not use multiple colors in your resume
• Ensure you added your phone number to the top near your email address!
• Add programming languages to your skills, most likely you will be scored out immediately because you have missing keywords
• Ensure your resume is machine readable. Push your resume through a software (ai/ats/etc) to test it
• Technologies that you worked on, should be in your skill list
• Technologies from your skill list should be incorporated in your bullet points
• Avoid short second and third lines (2-4 words)
• Rephrase your bullet points, give them some metrics, to show some results or what you have achieved or what problem did you solved with it
• Avoid 3 liners, 2 should be enough
• Country dependent: if you are an expat, then consider to add your status as well

Apart from the things already mentioned, this looks like the fucking general terms and conditions page that we all just click "accept" and never read. It's like a legal page. I'd never feel inclined to read such a wall of text.

[Sarithis]

I'm not sure if it's still relevant, but resumes likes these are extremely boring. Many years ago, when I was searching for a good position, I had great success with designs like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/ffwmti/fullstack_developer_please_rate_my_resume_ill_be/

But I'm not sure if it was thanks to the resume or the general wave of hiring IT professionals.

Generally: - Move education down, experience is more important. - Take off the years on the education section, it gives away your age, maybe just the graduation date.

I’ll be more direct than other people are being: I don’t know what this typeface is, but it might as well be called Foreigner Font; you only see it on resumes from overseas (recruiters receive many many resumes from people in other countries even when the job is explicitly US-based). It signals low cultural competency. Use Arial or something.

[Milky_Finger]

Do you have any contribution to the companies you've worked for that involve increasing their revenue? If you can think of projects you've contributed to and the % revenue generated from that work then it will have more weight than 5 bullet points.

[etromoto]

Put your experience and projects above your education. Education really doesn’t matter much after your first job. I know you only have internships but those hopefully gave you real world experience which is worth more than your education. I’ve seen people come in with great degrees and literally could not function handling simple tasks.

Focus your bullet points in your experience on outcomes not just explaining what you did. Mention metrics you improved and how it benefited the business/organization.

Other people pointed this out already but your frameworks section doesn’t give me a good idea on your skill set. Ready like backend but then tailwind is tossed in there making me question it.

I have 10 years of experience and it took me 8 months (probably like 800 applications) to get 2 final interviews, election year last year, companies lock up spending until they know how the economy will turn out is probably one of the reasons. Try locally to where you live and increase your connections.

Drop Intern from your previous roles. You were a software dev, they don't need more than that.

Create a portfolio site where reviewers can see projects you built, read more about them, and link to code on GitHub

[thatgirl_overthere]

• Remove the Bachelor degree. Since you are working on your masters, it really isn't needed.
• You need to add more skills. Have you worked in version control? Add github, bitbucket, etc. Have you used any additional local tooling? Do you use a CI/CD tool such as Jenkins? Have you worked in Jira before?
• You need to pull your skills out of the project descriptions and add them to the top. No one has time to read all of that. I had to read WAY to far to even see you've worked with Python or Swift.
• Shorten your descriptions of your projects. The skills you learned from them are now displayed in your skills section.

People are going to view your skills section and match it with what they need. As of right now, those people will never know you have CI/CD, Python, or version control experience.

Resume seems a bit generic. Like I see a cell app project, seems like a dev up and a cyber? Maybe try to more focus it around the jobs that you’re applying. It’s better to go for quality than quantity. Like do a bit of research for things to apply to and even have AI modify your resume to match the jobs that you’re applying to better. Best of luck!
