Ask HN: How does a great resume look like? What are the best tools to make one?

Hey everyone! I'm a self-taught full-stack web developer. I've spent the past few years learning webdev, working on personal projects, and building a portfolio (https://startuplab.io/portfolio).

Now I want to find good clients, or work remotely for a startup, and to do that I need to make a resume(or CV?).

So I wanted to ask a few questions:

- What should I put on my resume?

- Can you share some examples of how a great resume should look like?

- What are some of the best tools for making one?

- What do you look for when deciding to hire a developer?

- Can you share some advice that would help me increase my chances of finding a good job?
