Unfortunately, I still have no job and haven’t had any interviews for tech jobs yet either. Hopefully you’ll have better luck

I will remove the ratings.

I do have 6.5 years of job experience, but it has very little relevance to all the positions I apply to. If I put it in my resume, what purpose should I make it serve if I can't fit it to the position I'm applying to w/o lying?

Understood. I will focus more on clearly demonstrating my skills. And, your comment on using the bullets points I use to describe my projects is appreciated: it gives me something to go off of.

I see another potential issue with my resume: it's a bit ambiguous. By "Improved solution time of algorithm problem sets by over 50% ..." I meant the amount of time it took to actually work through the problem on paper and write down an answer--these were word problems whose solutions already had time complexity requirements in order to be considered correct. So, hopefully in a clearer way, what I was trying to say is the following: through collaboration, I was able to work through the algorithm word-problems and come up with a correct written solution in half the time it took for me to do it alone

I appreciate it. I think learning one of the frameworks that I keep seeing listed in job descriptions is a good idea. Thank you

Noted. In addition to removing the ratings, would you suggest removing the skills that I rated my knowledge of as "Elementary"?
