proud cargo
Hi there, I'm posting a friends resume and he's looking for primarily data science positions, and if he can't get those then SWE positions. Doesn't seem to be having too much luck and yesterday applied to a place and got rejected in 24 hours.
He's a newgrad and just finished university this month.
Any and all criticism is greatly appreciated!

if he gets rejected like that its usually a criteria thing rather than a resume thing
proud cargo
Could you elaborate? it means he didnt pass enough criteria, rather than his resume being weak?
golden estuary
yeah
proud cargo
ah okay ill tell him that
golden estuary
like he needs a visa for it or wtv
or hes graduating too soon or too late
stuff like that
proud cargo
ah i see

resume wise :
id remove warehouse operator, replace it with a project
its JUnit
"developed a website" needs the technologies used
the photoshop bullet point is fluff
"agile and scrum environment" is fluff
the second bullet point for TD is also fluff
proud cargo
what would u try to replace the fluff with then
golden estuary
talk more about the platform that he developed
proud cargo
anything else? how about the projects or skills section
golden estuary
2nd bullet point of his 2nd project is also fluff
some of those languages arent languages
proud cargo
o true

being 4th or 5th in achievements isnt that impressive, but i guess its better than nothing
if he has more projects id remove the 2 other exps

i would have languages and another section for frameworks
since you have angular, react, junit
just enough to have a section

I think it’s dependent on the amount of participants no?
4th out of 100 can be impressive
4th out of 20 is where it doesn’t make sense
