Would really love some help with mine: http://synclairwang.com/assets/resume.pdf

I just started looking for jobs and haven't had much luck. I bought into the craze of coding bootcamps and although I learned a lot, I feel like it isn't enough to stand out. Would appreciate any tips and thinks to change/remove/add into the resume.

And in case anyone wants to give some input on my portfolio site as well: http://synclairwang.com

* Your layout is a bit confusing. It's kind of difficult to figure out what title is the company name and your job title. I suggest you keep the EXPERIENCE and EDUCATION labels on the left and move everything else to the right. I've done a rough mock: http://imgur.com/a/g2t0c

* I'm not a fan of the design, but that's just my opinion. You can search for better resume templates

* Add a section where you point out what languages you know

* Another section for all the frameworks, tech stack, experiences and etc.

* "Netted over 700 hours...", I'm not sure if quantifying something like that is a good thing. 700 hours is kind of arbitrary, even as a developer I don't know that that really entails. You should just say you know how to build web apps, you're a full stack eng. and etc.

* "After learning about this word from a friend...", totally irrelevant. I don't think a recruiter cares about this. It is a good story to tell in an interview, but just not an a resume. Just get to the point as fast as possible while describing what the app does

* Overall the resume tells me what your projects do but it doesn't tell me too much about you. Tell me what you did, what you learned, obstacles you overcame, etc. This is a good area to quantify things. i.e. "Used CSS to develop convolutional neural network to improve efficiency by 100000000%"

* I'm not sure if your other two work experiences are relevant for a web dev, but you did a good job in making it sound relevant to who you are

Alright noted! Thanks for the input. Time to revise!

At first glance, it seems very condensed and a little heavy on the eyes. Also, try breaking down the experience points to be more concise and less blocky. Generally, the idea is that you want someone to be able to look at your resume in ~15 seconds and be able to get a decent idea of it's contents.

One great starting point is the sample resume that Gayle McDowell provides on Career Cup: https://www.careercup.com/resume

I've been on that site before and i'll be sure to follow those guidelines this time

Your resume has embedded chinese characters on the website url and email address. Instead of being able to click on it, you get a set of Chinese characters which one cannot decipher.

Since you just graduated, you should list your GPA.
