Description

Look at your resume. Look at EACH WORD/technology. If I ask you right now “how did you use X?” or “why did you decide to implement Y?” are you able to answer in detail? If not - get it off your resume.
Mention in Structure chapter that file should be a PDF and copy pastable
Present tense in current position, past tense in past positions
Chapter The 10 Second Rule / First Impression mention visualeyes. also that resume is overlooked first 10 seconds and then you should hook the hiring manager into the resume
Keep the personal stuff short. It's not about the person but about the accomplishments
