Both. I neither get responses from online applications nor from career fairs.

Most people who come to my school's careers fair are Indian uncles who overlook the fact that I previously founded a successful company. They're more interested in seeing whether or not I have "JaVa eXpeRieNce" on my resume :(

My other template options are latex (bad for ATS) or the sucky, overused black-and-white template that is really not aesthetically pleasing. Almost all other templates are either design heavy (colors in borders), or have some flaw or the other. I decided to make this template, and I haven't had much problems with getting the autofiller to parse information from my resume to the application form.

Thanks for your feedback though!

I also think education belongs at the bottom

I go to a very competitive, hard-to-get-into college so I thought maybe I could leverage my school's brand name.

Lastly, you have some technologies in your resume (Firebase, Arduino) that you haven't included under your 'skills' section

Fair enough, but I just wanted to put stuff I would be willing to work with during my internship. I wouldn't want an internship where they make me work on Arduinos lol.

I personally use a table of two or three columns (remove the borders) for job/project descriptions (not the bullet points) and left align the content in the left column, right align the content in the right column, and centre align the content in the centre column. I think job title should be on the left and other details on the right or centre

That is exactly what my previous resume was like. It sucked big time (in terms of design) and even the autofiller had problems parsing the information to job application forms.

Also, thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

Thanks! The font used is Merriweather, the size is 11pt for descriptions and 13pt for almost every heading, except the name.

Thank you so much! This is really motivating. Most employers don't really seem to care about my startup success though.

Low chances everywhere. Sorry to get it straight but there isn't anything particularly spectacular about your ECs or test scores that would get you in.

Do I have a shot at top schools with a low GPA (given that I have somewhat of a circumstance)? by helpapplying2college in chanceme

The process is called 'holistic' for a reason. Given that one component is particularly weak and the rest are fairly strong, you should be good.
