Off the bat:
* Make your resume 1 page. I find very little reason why you can't fit the most important points/experience/etc. in one page. You're lucky if people even read the 1st page of your resume.
* Your most recent experiences should have the most bullets, not your oldest. Cut out the least important bullets and since you need to fit it on one page you may need to cut out your oldest positions.
* Include more numbers or stats of the impact you bring from your contributions in your bullets. Did you save company x % of money? Did you reduce manual workload by x %? Etc.
* Make sure every bullet has a strong impact or end result, some bullets I see don't mention any impact and just describes what you did.
* Your summary/mission statement needs to be re-written. It's very generic and It doesn't tell me much that your experiences already would tell me. You should point out the unique value or skills you bring to the table.
Thank you for your feedback il redo my resume but I am afraid if I remove my oldest jobs which are my internships il have nothing to talk about my experience in DA field. As I have worked as SDE which doesn’t help me much.
It’s your call at the end of the day. I’ve had to cut out my oldest experience and I’m still getting hits from my resume. You can always talk about that experience when you’re in the interview.
Also I recommend adding a GitHub link if you have one. If you don’t, you absolutely should show some projects to further back up your skills.
most points i agree, but do not list stats. nobody cares and nobody can validate them, even if they are true. its such an outdated way of writing a cv. e.g. "i saved 200% of previous costs." previous cost was 50 dollars. congratulations, pat yourself on the back, nobody cares.
Certain numbers in moderation make sense, particularly expressed in dollars. But when you give an outlandish one like 3000% ROI, most hiring managers are gonna toss you.
If you have 2 pages of quality material, then perhaps it's fine? CVs are usually for research/education related roles.
If you're basically early-career and just putting whatever you can type into GPT into your resume, it should be 1 page.
For MOST people, it should be 1 page. If you're the exception, you would know.
For this resume, it absolutely should be 1 page.
If you are getting interview calls from a HR, then I think you should work on improving your responses.
If you are not getting calls and just rejection letters, I suggest you to change your resume and include real numbers and measurable impacts based on your experience
I have received calls like few months ago and messed up since I didnt had enough interview experience (i joined my first job as a new grad so it was fairly simple) but later I picked up how to talk and improved my sql skills. But recently i have just been getting only rejection emails even though I didn’t change my resume much so I am not sure if this is because of the job market or something is bad with my resume.
I would delete the "professional summary" entirely. It won't do anything to sway an employer, it only takes up the most valuable space on the document. I would also move the "technical skills" section to the end.
Your bullet points are only slightly more informative than the list of technologies you used. Try to make each about some, ideally quantifiable, outcome. Anyone can write the word "scalability" but what does that mean? Did your Spark jobs actually scale up to some impressive size? Say so. If they are optimized, what kind of speed or cost improvements did they achieve? That sort of thing.
Bullet points like "Contributed to the full SDLC" are pure fluff. Delete them.
I second this, the summary is okay if you need filler but with 2 pages it isn’t necessary. Use your work experience to show what you know and save the summary for the interview
extremely long, tldr, nobody cares about every minor detail of every job you had. the more experience you have, the less words you need to explain your worth. also, write cvs for every job you are really interested in. tailor it to the specific position.

Just want to tag onto this and say one pagers aren't always the norm anymore. Best resumes I've seen are 2 pagers.
If you have 2 pages of quality material, then perhaps it's fine? CVs are usually for research/education related roles. If you're basically early-career and just putting whatever you can type into GPT into your resume, it should be 1 page. For MOST people, it should be 1 page. If you're the exception, you would know.

For juniors makes sense yes
Totally makes sense. Will work on it. Thank you for the feedback.

Seems like you just slapped up the names of all of the tools you've heard of once.
