    Hi everyone,

    I’m a final-year Computer Science undergrad (graduating in 2025) and I’ve been focusing on Blockchain/Web3 development alongside my core CS skills. I’ve attached my current resume for review.

    I’m curious:

    • Does this resume look strong enough for entry-level Web3/blockchain developer or related roles?

    • Are my skills/projects lined up with what recruiters usually look for?

    • Is there anything big I’m missing (either in the resume or skills-wise) that might improve my chances?

    Any honest feedback is appreciated!

    Thanks :)

    I went through your resume and honestly, you’ve already built a good foundation, especially with Solidity, Hardhat, and your crowdfunding DApp. The Cyfrin security cert is a big plus too, since security is one of the hottest areas in Web3 hiring right now.

    That said, if you want to stand out for entry-level blockchain roles, here are a few things you might want to add:

    More blockchain-focused projects as Right now you have one strong DApp. Try adding 1–2 more like an NFT minting app, DAO voting system, or a DeFi staking/yield farming prototype. Recruiters love to see variety.

    Give proof of work by adding your GitHub links or live demos. Without that, hiring managers can’t “see” your skills in action.

    Show impact in project descriptions. Instead of just “implemented campaign creation,” show results (e.g., “achieved 100% test coverage with Hardhat,” “optimized gas usage by 20%”).

    Show to the recruiter how you have exposure in the real life ecosystem exposure. You can add a hackathon, Gitcoin bounty, or DAO contribution to showcase your networking. It shows you’re active in the community, not just learning in isolation.

    You summary is quite generic. Something like: “Entry-level Blockchain Developer skilled in Solidity, Hardhat, React, and smart contract security. Hands-on in DeFi DApps, Ethereum tools, and blockchain security.” feels sharper and recruiter-friendly.

    Overall, you’re on the right track. With a couple more projects, some visible proof on GitHub, and a resume that highlights results instead of just tasks, you’ll have a profile that gets noticed quickly in the Web3 space.

    Your summary has energy but like a junior developer. Replace “interested/exploring/learning” with outcomes that prove you excel over others and create value. Speak about what you worked on, its impact and take owndership of mistakes made.

    In technical skills: prioritize what matters for Web3. Put Solidity and TypeScript first. Trim noise and order by relevance.

    • Irrelevant: Remix, generic IDEs, basic “core concepts”
    • Missing: Foundry, Hardhat, fuzz testing, invariant testing Leaning on Remix signals beginner. Show command of Foundry/Hardhat and modern testing instead.

    Achievements: LeetCode, courses, and certificates are learning, not achievements. Achievements are shipped products, real users, measurable results, or contributions adopted by others.

    Projects: what you list lacks technical depth and utility for the roles you’re targeting. Ask yourself: would this impress for that level? If not, build smaller but useful things with real-world value.

    Next steps:

    • Tighten the resume and cut fluff.
    • Rewrite bullets to show ownership, outcomes, and metrics.
    • Learn Foundry and strengthen your testing (fuzz/invariant).
    • Reorder skills by impact (Solidity, TypeScript → then the rest).
    • Ship a few focused projects that solve real problems.

    You’ve got momentum. Raise the bar and let your proof of work do the talking.
