Hi, I am sick of googling "online resume builder". So I decided to make it from scratch. I ended up with some basic resume which looks same and exact to others. I wanted something unique.
I recently learned figma almost 2 months ago to speed up my web development projects. So i also decided to use it for making resume.
It's my first try on making resume. I want the help of dev.to community to rate this design so i can know what can be improved in this.
Also if you want the same design for yourself for free, plz tell me in the comments.
For those who are wondering why would I do it for free, you just need to follow me here on dev.to :)
Thank you

I think most of the less good stuff had already been reference by other commenters so i will just say that you need a bit more whitespace
Hello Harsh, it's great I think! But also, you need to consider many things in building it, like keywords, right terms in every words, and how to be outstanding compare to others thru your resume. If you want, our company, resume professional writers, provide free resume critique, we can help you to enhance more your resume. Feel free to send your resume on our website resumeprofessionalwriters.com/resu...
I will :)
I agree with other comments regarding backend experience not being visible enough. Definitely list languages and skills in order from what you are most experienced in vs least (or perhaps in order of what you are most looking for right now).
As someone with hiring experience I would want to know how you used these skills in the past and what roles or duties you held. Not just job title (which you listed) but more importantly what kinds of things you did day to day. I want to know if you are going to fit on the team, where your skills will sit, can you jump right in to my projects or will you require further training?
The example projects section is great as it shows some of your talent. It would actually be awesome to describe how those projects were made and the skills you employed to do it.
One last point is that you spoke a lot about UI design in terms of what you prefer and what you see as ideal. However many teams already have their own UI specification and probably their own designer(s). Would you be willing to discuss designs and take direction from a more senior designer even if you disagreed with the design chosen? Are you happy to do the grunt work of just building out features or fixing bugs? Not that all of this needs to be on your resume, but with no listing of what duties you performed at previous jobs or in building your existing websites the employer has to make some guesses about whether you would be a good fit and many employers are very risk averse.
I like your passion and drive and I think I'd probably want to follow up just based on that. I'd take someone who is self driven and keen to learn over someone who ticks all the boxes but doesn't want to grow. 😉
Thank you Steve :)
I also think that there should be more description about the job in the experience section.
Thanks again for your time and review, i'll send you a message with updated resume.
Hi!
Dying to add my 2 cents...
Visually, very nice.
Now that the technical advice has been given, let's clean up that English, shall we? :-)
BTW, In the US, as mentioned, a picture is just a way for people to discriminate against you (age, race, gender--it happens) so don't give them a chance.
I wanted to add some thoughts on the subject of proofreading--grammar, punctuation, etc. Some people don't notice, but the people who do will definitely hold it against you.
• In your "About Me" section, check your capitalization; is it "Full Stack" or "full stack?"
Be consistent.
• Next, remove "good" and keep "designing quality websites." It reads much better.
• "Doing" freelancing was mentioned earlier, but it bears repeating.
• In the next sentence, put a comma between "design" and "as."
• There are a few ways to clean up the next sentence, depending on what you're really trying to say. My best guess:
"I've worked with many teams of developers and have excellent verbal communication skills."
• I would also consider an exclamation point at the end of the last sentence to convey your enthusiasm, but it's definitely optional.
"Let's design something unique and appealing!"
• I know someone mentioned the "2 months" thing, but to be sure, generally a Month/Year - Month/Year is standard. However, if it makes you look like you have less experience, forget it. You may even want to get creative about it and add the dates for other projects you worked on, even if they weren't paid projects. I have also heard it advised many times that if you don't have a whole lot of work history, it's fine to play up your education and even put it first.
• Is "Frontend" one word? The ATS will not pick up Frontend if it should be Front End.
• In your description of Insta Video Downloader, remove the apostrophe so it reads "its URL." Usually, apostrophes show ownership, but English is stupid, so here, "it's" a contraction meaning "it is."
• I don't necessarily think you have to get rid of the third project if you just remove the word CBD or get more creative with the description.
Hope that helps. Now you can "Grammar & Punctuation Master" to your skills!
Thank you very much Melissa :)
I really love when people write reviews about things I make! I will improve my resume but my english definitely needs to be improved after this.
Thank you again :)

Hey Harsh,
Some thoughts you may find useful. I work in the US and have seen a lot of resumes / interviewed quite a few people out of India:
1.4 years at Job Xor3.10 years experience in Technology Y, which indicates to me that this person is really trying to stretch or overstate limited experience.Lastly, as general advice, I'd say you should always tailor your resume to where you're applying. This can mean anything from rearranging bullet points to a complete refactor of the format. With this in mind, I would be careful sending this one when applying for very technical roles or "old school" companies. That said, to a more design focused role or startup, this template could be more appealing as it is. Just something to think about. 😊
I can really feel it. It feels like I applied for a job under you and you are telling how can I improve this more. Best feeling 😊.
I will DM you the updated one and plz try to review that one too if you'll get any free time.
It's A4 but slightly more in height.
I forgot to mention my school in education section. How can I show freelance experience?
I was freelancing but also did internships in between?
Any solution plz?
I think your experience is internship...so that should be mentioned too..
And your About me section can be more refined..use some technical terms such as web apps,cross platform, responsive design, PWA to get through application tracking systems etc
My experience is internship? I don't get it. Can you plz explain?
u have 2 months of experience, i think that is internship ?
