Agree with A1. Also, some clients have a relaxed dress code. We are actually required to wear jeans to work to manage client expectations. We did Orals in jeans! Wouldn't worry about it - I am senior and wouldn't care.

Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?
