Graduating May 2023; looking for full-time SWE positions

imo move the coursework section to below experience, your choice of where. re-order your first listed bit of experience so that "integrated a command line interface" is the last bullet point

in any case where you write <developed> <thing> which <positive> <thing>, reorder the clauses so that <positive> <thing> is first. example:

"Developed embedded software in C++ to increase the speed and efficiency [...]"

to

"Increased the speed and efficiency of tactical radios with by developing an embedded [...] in C++"

something like that. agile could be its own bulletpoint

i wouldnt list the professor's name unless they are famous. you can save space and probably be ATS parsed a little bit more easily

you write "scripting languages" but dont make it clear which... in any case where your description is not outlining the outcome of your work, you should consider rewriting it in a way so that it is the first thing that is seen

[sturdy silo]

I listed the professor's name since it was him that employed me; I never interacted with say the university formally

[sturdy silo]

Can't say which one though

The security person was adamant about that

[sacred tapir]

then "proprietary" should be sufficient or something like it

otherwise it's not clear why it cant be listed

another example:
"Processed & parse(d) JSON data files efficiently for effective visualization"
->
"Visualized data for [...] achieving [...] using JSON files" (or something)

just doing something is less impactful than getting results. if you can outline that on your resume, you should be golden

not really super keyed into new grad resumes though so i dont know the value of the coursework section

[sturdy silo]

I was using that to prove that I know languages

[sturdy silo]

Cool, thanks so much for all your help tonight

[sacred tapir]

oh i see. i think your accomplishments should speak for themselves in proving this to employers. you have a skills section that you can use to cement what you know

you can always flex your gpa if you want to highlight your education more

[sturdy silo]

my GPA is..not great

[sacred tapir]

all good then let's leave it off

[sturdy silo]

It' a 3.1 so I've seen both put it on and leave it off

[sacred tapir]

i wouldn't worry too much about it; your internships and projects look solid enough once you frame them attractively

[sturdy silo]

I should be expecting ~5% callback?

as my benchmark; if not, guess I'm headed back here for more advice lol

[sacred tapir]

i'd say give it a few weeks to a month minimum and see how it goes. if you're not satisfied, no matter the %, definitely check in

[sturdy silo]

Again, thanks so much for your advice
