Hello community,

I'm looking for feedback on the above CV.

I am applying for full-remote only, full-stack engineering positions, in Italy first but also anywhere in the EU. I am looking for contract/freelance positions, preferably full-time and long-term.

This resume is the result of applying as many of the tips and principles in the wiki and linked resources on this subreddit (I sure probably missed some). It was initially a 2-pager, and I had to remove a few things and tighten up the formatting to bring it down to 1 page.

Specifically:

- I removed a short overview at the top, which stated: "Full-stack software engineer with over 4 years of experience, specialized in AI-powered web platforms, scalable backend systems, and modern product development. Experienced in designing and deploying production software across multiple domains, including education, e-commerce, and electric mobility, working on large-scale platforms serving tens of thousands of active users."

- I removed a section at the end "Theses & Publications", which included a paper I co-authored, a BSc thesis I co-supervised, and my BSc and MSc theses. I figured the theses were useless as they were implied by the degrees (although both theses were software engineering related), the only cool thing would be the paper and maybe the co-supervised thesis, but I just couldn't fit them in one page.

Even after the changes, I still have a gut feeling that the CV may kind of feel cluttered (having a 2-pager also gave the advantage of being able to use slightly bigger text font and more spacing in between sections and lines).

A few specific points I'm unsure about (but you're welcome to critique others too):

- there are a lot of overlapping job experiences - that's because I work as a freelance, but I am not sure whether that could feel confusing to a recruiter reading the CV

- I am not sure about that fact that a position in a university is my first listed job experience (maybe it's not taken as seriously as a position in a startup or something); I am considering moving the second and third experiences up the list, but then that'd break the chronological order that is otherwise in place

I'll be glad and grateful to hear any of your feedback / thoughts.

Hello community,

I'm looking for feedback on the above CV.

I am applying for full-remote only, full-stack engineering positions, in Italy first but also anywhere in the EU. I am looking for contract/freelance positions, preferably full-time and long-term.

I have come to this subreddit because, after sending about 100 applications, I have barely received any callbacks, and most of the hunters that replied did negatively so.

I am looking for constructive feedback on my résumé to try and figure out if that's playing a part in this type of negative outcomes I've encountered so far.

A few points I'm unsure about my CV (but you're welcome to critique others too):

- I had to divide my work experience into two chunks, "relevant" and "additional" because if I had adopted a strictly chronological order in listing my work experience, the most relevant ones would've ended up on page 2

- there are a lot of overlapping job experiences - that's because I work as a freelance, but I am not sure whether that could feel confusing to a recruiter reading the CV

- I am not sure about the double-timeline on my position at University of ***, and also about that fact that a position in a university is my first listed job experience (maybe it's not taken as seriously as a position in a startup or something)

- not entirely sure on the usefulness of the "theses & publications" sections - the two theses are kind of implied by the BSc and MSc, so the only real "added value" here is the paper I co-authored, but I'm not sure a recruiter would give much thought to it.

Also, I'm generally not entirely sure the descriptions for my job experiences properly communicate the value I created and the impact my work had.

I'll be glad and grateful to hear any of your feedback / thoughts.
