After studying for about 700 hours over a year I’m finally beginning to apply for jobs. If anyone has time to give any feedback at all for my portfolio and resume (as well as my GitHub and LinkedIn if you’re willing and able!) I would greatly appreciate it :grin:. Reading all of your success stories and struggles over the past few months has really helped guide and reassure me.

When I try to access the website I get the attached error/warning. This might turn visitors away and might be worth looking into.

I just started last week in coding and I have to say you did a good job. I couldn’t really find any visible bugs on my screen, so if you do have bugs then I would imagine it won’t be that hard in fixing it. The only feedback is to clean up the web page a little. Make it a little modern but that’s just my opinion on it.

Reformat your resume. You can keep this one if you want to pass along to people you meet, but I’d suggest not feeding it through application portals.

Most likely it will become a jumbled mess when imported into the application tracking system. A resume that is both human and machine readable is more important than aesthetics.

Single column, not double. No side section. Make it 2 pages if you have to, but don’t split your documents with a vertical axis. Your contact information should not be 1/3 of your resume, save the text space for something more important. Try to be more descriptive in your experiences, in a way that fits in more key words.

Try running you resume through jobscan.co against the job description of a position you are interested. You don’t have to address every issue, but get as many as you can

Thanks so much for your feedback @camperextraordinaire! I really appreciate it. I completely missed the Calculator and Pomodoro bugs, glad you pointed those out. I should also revisit the Quote machine app as I think those features would be worth implementing. The tic-tac-toe move history is meant to demonstrate tracking state with React (the move history resets when a new move is made to allow cycling through previous moves without losing the history) but I don’t think I made that clear enough (or maybe it’s too confusing of a concept to include) so your feedback shed some like on that. Thanks again!
