In 2021, the resume is dead. People in their 20s have never used one and never will — especially in a Zoom educated world. Why? Proof.
It's too easy in a full-video / no-code / free-tier world to not just create something that proves you've got the requisite skills.
You want a sink fixed? Here's a Google doc where I've included two sets of before and after photos with contact information of the people who had me do the exact job you want. The testimonials, which I requested, are honest and reflect on how I am to work with as a person and my efficacy at task.
Why read a resume and try to discern what's true and what's not? Why worry about the college they went to when the skills they need are being taught for free on YouTube?

Unfortunately, it doesn't actually mean you're more capable than a person who can direct their own learning by reaching out to authors and subject-matter experts on Twitter and asking for advice.
Want to get money? Get results. Then, document those results. Then, spread the documents in various channels where people gather and want those kinds of results for themselves.
