Resumake is really good for starting out. Plus they let you download the latex code and customize it if you want.

Resume Template

content-wise your resume looks totally fine. if you want to refine it a bit, you can use something like resumake or another latex editor to make it a bit shinier. you might also want to add a list of technology/frameworks you're proficient with. but really, I think you could get a job with this resume as-is

You can use this. https://resumake.io/

You can use resumake.io and select one of the templates from there. Personally I like the default template, tends to be able to fit more content and has nice spacing between sections and bullet points.

Use resumake.io

I'd strongly recommend paying someone the 150 bucks to write your resume professionally - if you can't afford that, I would recommend resumake.io for fairly simple machine readable templates.

This is the resume template I've used over the last 8ish years: https://www.careercup.com/resume

It doesn't hurt to get someone to review your resume if you're not getting bites.

If you can find a friend's cousin's sister who works at a FAANG company who's willing to refer you, that'd be ideal. All the FAANG companies I've interviewed have an internal referral system.

I only got into a FAANG company once as an intern. It was pure luck that I didn't have any leetcode rounds. Every other time I tried interviewing for SWE my fall was leetcode. The good news is there isn't much luck required, its 90% just a grind. You can be the unluckiest person on the planet and still get in. That being said, good luck :-)

Use the Career Cup template: https://www.careercup.com/resume

The resume content itself looks solid and contains keywords but I think that it is not properly structured, which may be causing automated resume evaluators to reject it. Consider adding LinkedIn and GitHub links to it too. Also, it was not immediately clear how many years of full-time experience you had. Mark your experiences clearly as internships or jobs.

As far as format, you can't go wrong with the Gayle McDowell Method. It's actually on overleaf as a standard template, but her method has good best practice info on writing a tech focused resume in general.

Too long, make it on page of your best work. No summaries, no one is going to read them. Use a different format, here's a link. https://www.careercup.com/resume
