Acdepted into this full stack cohort…

  • This bullet can be scrapped and this section in general is not exeprience
#

Offered a spring break internship

  • ur divulging a lot of unnecessary info. Just say “Collaborated with X other developers to build a mock Goldman Sachs landing page using React.”
#

contributed reliable code…

  • i dont understand this part, how did “reliable code” lead to faster load times? what exactly did u code that made it load faster

If you haven't graduated yet, it may be hard to get a junior developer job because those typically are for people who have already graduated and can work full time year-round. Also, you'll be competing with people who already have their degree and are also looking for junior developer jobs right now. And the job market is absolutely awful right now, too! Even the new grads are struggling because they have to compete with each other and people with 1+ years of experience who got laid off and are trying to get another junior role. You already have an impressive number of internships as a third year college student, but you can always do another one for even more experience! Imagine graduating with 4 or 5 internships under your belt, and the job market will probably be a lot better once you graduate. You'll have a huge advantage over people who've only done 1 internship or 0 internships.
