Resume review for an 18 year old coding bootcamp graduate

HI @fanatII1 !

Welcome to the forum!

You already received some great advice on your resume and portfolio.

Aside from your resume and portfolio, having a strong linkedin profile can help get connected with recruiters. When you are trying to get that first job, any little bit helps.

Also think of it as an online version of your resume.

Here are my thoughts on your linkedin profile.

I think you should change your profile picture to just be a headshot.
It would be nice if you smiled a little bit.
Remember that it is all about first impressions.

As for your title, drop aspiring.
Just say software developer or full stack developer.

One section you are underusing on your linkedin profile is your Features section.

This can be a section for your projects.
This can be a huge help in your profile especially if you don’t have work experience.

Here is my featured section for example

That sections has my projects and articles.

I would suggest looking at Danny Thompson’s video on how to get a job using linkedin

That will help you boost your profile and get connected with potential recruiters.

Danny Thompson also has great content for resumes and portfolios too.

Hope that helps!
