Hi Mohammed!

Here are a few thoughts I had about your resume.

  • Summary: This is pretty vague, I honestly think you could do without it.
  • Experience: GOOD!
  • Skills: I would remove the line in the middle and let all the bullet points just stand together. I like the bold words, that makes stuff easy to find.
  • Education: Any relevant course work you could list? Did you have any jobs when you were in school that might indicate you have some soft skills for engineering? You have some extra space available so I would use it :)
  • Certifications: I would probably move these up under experience or skills rather than way at the bottom since they seem pretty relevant and important.

Hope that helps!!!

Thank you Molly for taking the time and for the feedback.

Regarding the summery, I wrote this to make up for not having a solid job experience and because I was going to apply for a front-end Developer role, I thought it will be better to put the focus on my portfolio.

I will update the the things that you noted. Thanks again.

I didn't think about that while choosing the icons. I will change it now.

Thank you Jan. I appreciate your feedback :)
