I don’t worry about design. The aesthetics I care about are consistency, organization of content, and understandability.
I hate writing about past and current projects in the corporate world where it feels like you own three lines of code in a project of 10 million lines that could probably be refactored to 2000 lines. Instead I describe my work history in terms of responsibility instead of technology.
I showcase my personal projects on my resume but nobody cares. They only seem interested in employment history, which is stupid frustrating when you write 10x more code outside of work and your work work feels extremely entry level.
I just recently found a solution to this: a section of the resume dedicated to recent achievements. There I can mention my accepted pull requests to major OSS projects, how I am a director level manager in my part time job, major technical problems I have solved. All these gems already existed on the resume, but were ignored because they are in the corporate employment history. Now, suddenly people find my resume excited.
I should add in bold red letters at the bottom (for clarity): No experience writing ReactJS.
