Na, some of us still deal with these style connectors. Not so much for video, but it's still used for rs-232 (control signal) and other data. They are great when you dont want the connector to ever fall out.

It looks a lot cleaner now.

The body text seems too light still, but that might be my phone screen. It should be solid black.

~~Only~~ One change from here I would strongly recommend making is the blue "city" text black.

Treat blue and bold text as your 'highlighter', there to help someone quickly navigate to the important sections of the page. City is not important. Your use of varriying font sizes and bullet lists is great for page navigation.

If I was going to use color, I'd highlight the jobs before the city name/git link.

The rest is personal taste.

Personally, I think the blue headers is enough. It might get to too blue if you color job titles as well. You don't need a separate monochrome version, the dark blue will show as black if it happens to be printed in B&W. You should also test print your resume in B&W. I find easier to spot errors on paper.


Edits as I spot more little things.

(Also there's an extra space in the second skill name - Event Bus)

(You also have space to make programming languages one line. At first glace I though you had a blank section for "languages". Could probably just say "programming", but I'm not in that field so maybe that's frowned upon?)

(In education, you have an example line underneath the university name, what is that line for? I would put the degree in that space, not off to the side. That's technicaly more important that the university it self, but it's probably "improper form" to list that above the uni name. (or whatever some one snoby would say).

(One last thing, you don't really need your full street address. Its unlikely anyone will mail you a response, and its just as likely you'll have to enter it into the application form anyways. City will suffice.)

(One last last thing, if you're going to give yourself titles at the top, you better show them in your expirence section. (I know this is just an example template and I am being incredibly picky) but I don't see architect anyware in the actual resume. That communicates to me you're just calling yourself related titles hoping one sticks)

First one is "It's Time for Torture Princess" (or something like that.) The 'tortures' are all wholesome things like the primary one; "want this delicious food? Start talking"

Edit: gee this was posted 2 months ago, and some reason the other comments didnt show. Whoops.

This looks good.

A few unsolicited nit-picky suggestions;

  • I'm not a big fan of mixing colors in a single word. 'Taky' might the be the right to describe why. I do like the color blue you used - if you're going to do it, make it the whole word. The name should also be consitent. Bold and either black or blue, not black and blue.
  • The light blue and light gray body text is difficult to read. Colors should be solid black, or navy blue. Bright and 'fun' colors are heard to read for some. Assume they're colorblind or will print it on a B&W printer with poor contrast.
  • I like to lead with the job title instead of the company. Where you worked is largely irrevelvant compared to what you've done at those places. It also makes it easy to combine company, city and years in one line.
  • start with previous jobs (unless education was most recent or more relevant to new job). Typically the order is job > skills > education.
  • Avoid italics they can be unnecessarily diffuclt to read

Education does not need so many details (if relevant to job, include specific courses and projects). Grad date can be omitted to help obfuscate you're age (a grad from 2024 is probably inexpirenced, while a 1967 grad is going to be retiring soon).

Two lines is all you need;

Bob's University, City, ST

B.S. Computer Science, minor electrical enginnering

Just give it a few copy paste cycles.

Eventually it'll look like someone took a picture of it on a 1987 camera in low light and put it on their TV full screen and took another picture of that with a 4k camera, then compressed it to 500kb.

The videos are not very relevant to the topic of privacy and our freedom.

Today it might be "extreme anarchy: how to make homemade bombs and guns". On the surface, its a great idea, go stop those people.

However, next year it could be something rediculous like "how to rip CDs". Clearly you must be pirating, time to fine you $500 or put you through a more costly legal battle trying to prove grandpa's 20 years of CDs were all obtained legally. Wow look at all the free money we just made because most will eat the $500 over hiring a lawyer. What else can we "fine" for?

The idea that the government could use your internet history against you, with no other factors, is as absurd as wire tapping someone and waiting for them to say something they don't like.

thanks to Biden's high speed Internet initiative, I'm getting Gb speeds to my neighborhood this summer.

That's actually happening this time? I'll admit I haven't payed any attention to this, but I kind of figured the isps would just pocket the money again.
