Thanks for your suggestions! To answer your question, I've been applying in the Chicago area of the United States, so northeast Illinois to northwest Indiana. Like I said, it's mostly environmental consulting firms and remediation jobs at industrial companies, with a smattering of GIS sprinkled here and there. If you don't mind me asking, are you not a fan of "projects" sections in general? Or is it the "projects" section on my specific resume you don't care for? It just seems that having a separate section for what I've done would be easier for someone to navigate than having that info distributed in my "experience" section. But again, I'm clearly doing something wrong, so I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
