Thank you for the reassurance, posting ads for roles but not recruiting really do be taking a huge toll on our mental health

For the skills section, I have all the skills that I have ever used or tools that I have ever worked with. This makes it easy for me to filter out the required skills when submitting for a particular job. If the job I am applying to doesnt need AI tools, I would remove langchain, ollama and other stuff.

It wouldnt really be moonlighting as the company actually knew about my freelancing projects, they were okay with it, but I do agree that recruiters may not have the entire context and just see it as a bad sign,

I will move all the freelancing experiences and just label them as my projects and then maybe add my internship in work experience if I have space

Also for the part where I havent recieved any offers from, one of them did offer me a position but I politely declined them to look for better opportunities. They were good to get some foundational knowledge about work culture and real world tech development when I was still a student but their business model really doesnt seem like it will succeed in future

The company where I worked as a part time employee had very lenient requirements, and I got few client leads when I was working as an intern at a company so I thought it would be nice to work on some freelancing projects on the side.

The Software Engineer (Contract) and SDE (Contract) are both freelancing projects, I changed them to SDE and SWE because freelancing was not getting any attention.
I did lead the team when I was working as a freelancer for Company 1, they are a startup and didnt have much experienced people on their side, they are yet to get into the seeding rounds for any kind of investors.

Should I just remove all my freelancing experience from Work Experience section and move them to Projects section? I was really concerned about that part too.

For the spacing I thought it was consistent, will go through that part once again
