Why it works
1
Lead with what ran
A project that a library, a club or a hostel actually used reads stronger than three tutorials, however well built.
2
Name the framework, not only the language
“Java, Spring Boot, MySQL” matches how backend postings are written; “Java” alone matches everything and nothing.
3
Keep the problem count to one line
Coding-practice numbers help at screening. They are a line under achievements, not a section.
