For better or worse, I think the importance of the resume has gone down a little bit over the past few years. There are so many people blasting resumes to 1000 places with LLM generated cover letters that the only resumes that make it to the people with hiring power are through referrals.

To actually answer your question, though, I think a link to a personal website (or LinkedIn if you use it) is nice to give more space to elaborate on work you've done, especially of there are things that are better explained by photos.

For many positions, especially if you have a "foreign sounding" name, it's good to specify if you are a citizen/permanent resident/etc. Companies may or may not be able to sponsor visas, and many positions, depending on the type of work, can only be done by citizens or permanent residents.

It is good to brag about yourself, but definitely avoid making your resume too wordy or long. Even people with really impressive careers will have a 1 page resume because people reviewing them need to be able to see the highlights immediately.

If you have a list of skills, it might make sense to try and be really explicit about how skilled you are with each thing. It's going to be dependent on the job, but for example, if you were listing JMP and R on there, but you spent years on R and only did a class project once with JMP, the company might want to know that. You could put "R (expert)" and "JMP (familiar)" or something like that.

Obviously, you need a job to eat and pay rent, but if someone hires you specifically to do something you are only slightly competent at, it's really a lose-lose.
