My best advice is to have a personality shine through. It will lose you some interviews, but gain you others, As a new engineer you really want to focus on strongly appealing to a smaller number of people, than to slightly appeal to many.

I must confess I'm a bit biased because I work in that space (Enhancv cv builder) but what we've seen time and time again is that people who put not only their personal achievements, but their personality as well, land jobs that they are a lot more happy with. This varies from industry to industry and country to country of course, but I do think there is a general trend there.

Do you notice if people with such resumes take any longer in finding their place? Do you also have any examples/patterns you could provide? I'm curious if it takes a certain kind of person to have a resume with personality that stands out positively.

Its more of aligning of values between the applicant and the reviewer - if you have some of your personality showing through from your resume, the reviewer can have a "gut feeling" about you.

I love this advice because culture fit is one of my biggest concerns. As a queer woman entering the field (if it's possible) I'd want to avoid being somewhere that has toxic culture. I think that advice is really on point: don't sanitize yourself out of your personal brand so that companies that don't fit you will self select out. Again, if possible. :<
