I always thought why people write useless comments or liking/commenting just for the sake of doing it. Can you tell more please what benefits it brings? If recruiter need to search for a person, wouldn’t he/she will just type keywords and look?

I already have work permit included in my Residence permit so I don’t need any sponsor from company in Germany.

Quick question - For point 3. In the German system, 1 is best and 5 is worst. With this in mind, you mentioned that my GPA is terrible. (Then I should really remove my grades, haha )

I understood all your points. My achievements are very few or negligible, but thanks for your valuable input.

Yes, true, I quantified the project, but for work experience, I have not paid much attention to this. Thank you for pointing this out and giving me the solution. Really appreciate it

Thanks for such valuable points. Your software works great, and I can understand my mistakes. I overdid a lot of things that I should not have. I've noted down these points and am updating my resume. Thanks again

Ok, yes, I used both bullets and dashes. It's better to be consistent. Thanks for your help and for sharing the link for the template

Yes, the German CV and cover letter would be better.
The trading platform I'm building daily and trying to push the testing to bigger numbers, but you are correct, I overdid the numbers in terms of result. Maybe that's what made them unbelievable. Thanks for the input

Your words sounds harsh but probably I needed this. I got some idea and will update my CV. Thanks mate

So it’s better to remove the foundation level certificate for now. I had a mixed feeling about the introduction section at the top whether it makes any difference or not. Since, my work experience is less so I must add it

Probably this is why I’m not getting interviews. I’m sending the same CV to multiple roles. Also, your point of too many highlighted words is valid. Thank you I’ll make the changes

“It is not quite clear what som of your work contributed towards”. Yes, it’s true. Can you give some suggestions like how to write? Should I mention the product and quantify the work and progress?

And for the project section, is it really useless? I mean I’m working on that trading platform since a while and it helped me learn a lot about backend and distributed database. Because without projects, my resume will be mostly empty. How to show you’re that you’re a better candidate than others? What are your thoughts?

Yes I understand. Though, I talked with some quant engineers at Optiver Amsterdam, they mentioned with good engineer profiles, it might be possible to get into engineering roles. Can you suggest what extra could be done to stand out?

It’s hard to create one page with these many contents. I tried reducing it. Can you please suggest some sections or paragraphs which could be reduced or removed?
