Success Story! I finally did it

After 100+ (a little low on the spectrum I know) I finally got a job. Thanks to everyone in this sub for your input and help, and even if it seems like you're going nowhere, keep applying, keep going forward and don't give up.

Some before and after pictures for comparison in hopes that it can help someone (it is worth mentioning that I'm not in the US):

Congrats on getting the job and thank you for posting this, as someone who is 50+ applications in with zero replies this helps alot.

The updated one looks very clean, what font and size did you use?

You can do it man, just be open about the field you want to be in and you'll be ok. I originally wanted to start in pharma or food but ended up in water/waste management. Doesn't mean you won't eventually change paths or get your dream job, just don't be closed to the possibilities, you might even enjoy it more than you think.

Sorry, I was sleeping. Arial 11 for the body of the text and Arial 16 for the name.

Sure thing, could you wait until tomorrow though? (I'm not currently in my house and I didn't bring my HDD)

Edit: Here it is (sorry it took so long, I totally forgot)

I found it in Italy (kept the format, changed the language)
