1. Project listings are terrific! Extracurricular work in the area you're trying to get hired into is a huge bonus as you apply for jobs. 2. One line descriptions are awful. If your resume is project heavy and light on school stuff, make your independent projects the focus and frame each in the context of how you accomplished what you did, what you learned during them, and what tech stack you chose for each one. Going over one page is perfectly acceptable. 3. Listing your technical skills (programming languages, OS administration experience, DB development/support, etc) on a scale of 1-10 is helpful, too. It won't get you out of tech interviews but if you're honest it will help the interviewer figure out what to talk to you about. There's nothing worse than an interview where your resume and cover letter do zilch to help the interviewer get to know you.
