Hey,

I'm not a recruiting manager but since I noticed you are a fresher I just wanted to give some tips about your resume, from one dev to another :)

* Move the work Experience and Project part above Skills.

* Right now your resume looks very plain. Try to use a different template for the resume or maybe try learning latex. It would really improve the formatting of the resume.

* In the work experience try to be more descriptive. For example, you wrote the following:

    I automate tasks using Python and take care of the test environment

instead of that try to write 2-3 bullet points that will explain all the tech being used and also what "task" you actually automate. So something like the following:

    * Automated ABCD which is being used in XYZ, using python
    * My automation takes all ABCD and stores in X DB

This may not be the best example but this is just to give you an idea about being a bit descriptive.

* This will completely depend on you but in my opinion having those stars level grading in front of every skill is not the best way to do it. One of the ways I suggest is just to have Skills as an h1 heading and then add multiple h3 headings. Ex:

    Skills

    - Languages: Python, golang, rust, bash, javascript
    - Frameworks: Django, Flask
    - Misc: git, heroku 

Again this is just a suggestion, if you feel that current representation is the best you can just keep it that way.


Not OP you replied to, but yeah, thanks. That's really nice of you!
