Current grad student in serach for summer internship & co-ops

[warped belfry]

anyone ?

No relevant US experience so it'll be tough.

If your remote work is in any capacity in the US, I'd at least change Remote to Remote, MA since that's where you work from

Also your projects from what I see are basic and under explained. Take some time to showcase the problem/use case you're solving or at least what you learned

[warped belfry]

But for an international student how will we have experience prior in us?

Ok so there isn't any use case solved to be all honest it's just small problems which I faced I thought would end up making projects

Internships my friend

[warped belfry]

I am searching for internships and co-ops right now. Whatever i can get 😅

[manic canyon]

Yeah it's kind of a chicken and the egg issue

You need experience to get experience. I'd increase my search to your universities job portal, local companies etc if I can. You'd be on CPT so no restrictions on visa just yet

[warped belfry]

yes trying that as well no callbacks at either place just a couple of OAs that's all so that's why I wanted to know if there is any issue in my resume

[manic canyon]

If you have OAs, sounds like you should be focused on landing those no?

Your resume needs an overhaul though for sure.

For your degree in india, did you not graduate? Having just "July 2021" feels weird

Also did you only take 2 relevant courses even though you were a CS major?

Change "Bachelor of Technology, Computer Science" to "Bachelors in Computer Science" or if possible (double check this) "B.S in Computer Science"

The header "Experience" should be "Experiences"

Your first bullet points "Resigned a cricket..." is kind of stupid. How are you able to quantify that your redesign led to increased users? How did you redesign? Also, why is it the first bullet point? Usually you'd have the most impressive thing you did at the forefront of your resume.

Second bullet points "achieved a 50% reduction in data ingestion..." is kind of weird too. You should give a brief/concise explanation on how your change led to the impact you're stating. Data ingestion reduction from web scraping sounds like bullshit without proper explanation. Did you use compression algorithms to reduce packet sizing? Did you optimize scrapers to reduce unnecessary metadata retrieval etc

Overall this is a general theme in your resume. There is a big disconnect between what you implemented and the engineering impact.

In your skills section, personally I'd rename Angular JS, React JS etc to just Angular, React etc

[warped belfry]

regarding the second point achieved 50% reduction in data ingestion time is basically me creating web scraper from scratch to put into database no use of compression algorithms

I'll change the entire thing based on the inputs you have provided
