5 Projects you should do to improve your Resume.
Today I am going to talk about the projects I will be working on and why I will be doing them. I finished my Flatiron school around a month ago after I continued doing some courses on Udemy while searching for jobs.
Now, I don’t regret doing this, but I think my next step is building some projects to add to my CV and these are some examples that people online have recommended me to improve my knowledge as a programmer and to improve my CV at the same time.
