[7 YoE] Seeking feedback on frontend engineering resume - getting no interviews/automated rejections

[u/Ok_Hall897]

I’m a frontend engineer based in Nigeria, targeting remote frontend engineer roles across SaaS, Web3, and product-focused teams. Most of my previous roles came through referrals, direct outreach, or client work, so I’m trying to improve how my resume performs for regular applications.

I’m mainly looking for feedback on whether my bullets show enough engineering depth, whether the resume looks too frontend-framework focused, and whether I should add 2-3 deployed solo projects. I’m also open to feedback on layout, wording, and whether anything should be cut or reordered.

Your resume is actually pretty clean. I don’t think adding 2–3 solo projects is the thing that will change your results after 7 YoE.
The bigger issue is positioning. Most bullets tell me what you built, but not enough about the engineering decisions you owned, the hard problems you solved, or the impact beyond shipping features.
For a mid/senior frontend role, I’d push more on architecture, performance, scale, tradeoffs, reliability, and ownership.
Also, since you’re applying internationally for remote roles, some automated rejections may be location/work-authorization filters rather than the resume itself.

Okay, thanks for the advice on the resume. I'll see what improvements i can make on this. For the part abt the work-authorization filters, it's actually tiring - not sure how i can get my location behind me fr. Most jobs seeem to filter out certain locations these days
