Is my resume good enough for getting an entry level full stack position?

Hi fellow fcc im a junior full stack developer trying to find a job. Ive taken a backend course on udemy and a frontend react course too Ive also finished a meta frontend development certification on coursera. Ive completed 2 frontend projects and one fullstack project but I have no real world job experience in the field I wanted to know what can I do to gain some sort of experience in the field?
ive applied to 100+ jobs and got only two interviews which I did not pass. Im thinking of opening my own web dev agency to help businesses in m area? how do I show case that to employers and is there anything else I can do to gain experience because most jobs require some?!
please review my resume?

You could try contributing to open source projects.

You could also think of some problem or app you want and build that for yourself and share it.

Yes, do it!

A good website is a start. You can also pick some businesses that you like and offer them some free service to build a portfolio. Maybe there are small charities or community services that are valuable but donā€™t have big budgets and need assistance, startups.

thatā€™s a good ratio, it means your CV works (I have not looked at it). Once you reach the interview stage itā€™s not about your CV anymore, itā€™s about you and your interview and programming skills

Why do you have microeconomics and macroeconomics coursera courses on your CV?

Theyā€™re completely irrelevant to a software job

You should cut the cv down to one page. Cut everything that isnā€™t directly relevant, including your interests section.

You have lots of jobs and education that arenā€™t relevant. These donā€™t need descriptions beneath them. Just the job/degree title, org and date.
How does your description of your motivation to work as a waiter (to save money during military service) help the reviewer to judge your competence in software development?

Why is the meta frontend certificate description formatted in a column like that? You need to put more effort into the formatting generally to make it look professional and help the reviewer review it.
Typos - ā€˜animatinā€™. Thoroughly review your CV before asking others to.

You donā€™t need to add ā€œself learningā€ as a skill.

Some descriptions are a bit strange. CSS media queries is not an advanced skill, and responsive web design isnā€™t an advanced course, itā€™s entry level.

best reply to the author so far, loved how you carefully pinpointed the errors and proffered solutions to it too.
Having you as a career guidance coach would be nice, as Iā€™m new into techā€¦ lol

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it I still have to improve. But I did hear that when displaying courses or certifications on your resume you need to add a quantitative measure? so how do think I can add that to my resume so I can stand out from other applicants?

You donā€™t need a quantitative measure. (relevant) certifications are a nice-to-have on a CV, but wonā€™t be the main focus.

If you donā€™t have any previous professional experience in software development then the main focus will be on the quality of your projects, your skills section and possibly your Github activity.

Build projects that make you stand out (somewhat substantive original projects that you care about, not tutorial-based ones). Use those projects to utilise new tools and develop new skills. Develop them over a period of months.

Better to have one or two impressive projects that make you stand out than loads of small tutorial-based ones as everyone else will have similar projects. It also demonstrates your ability to develop software independently.
