Oh sorry about that will do

#

Btw ther is Name, LinkedIn, GitHub and phone number it’s Just removed rn

I thought my resume was decent, but I’m not getting responses 😬

#

What I’m thinking possibly is that resume aligns towards more data science than swe, which is why I’m not getting responses from new grad swe?..

Your name used to be at the top I hope

And did it all fit on one page

#

my opinion move technical skills to the bottom

#

your experience during undergrad seems more important

Put the python ML library you used, not “Python Library” unless it isn’t one of the big 3(?)

Overall I like it. Agree about the technical skills. Something that I did was, in parenthesis next to my project, I put the tech I used for those projects. That way you can just focus on what you did in your descriptions and not have to say stuff like “Used c++ to do X.”

3rd experience, first bullet is good for an undergrad, but move it to the bottom. I think you can put the react.js bullet first

#

since it’s a tangible effort you provided

#

Also, empirical data points on your projects could be good. how was the user experience enhanced? How were the data queries efficient? Related to what?

#

we are just nitpicking now btw, we both see the resume as very good

#

Yeah this is a pretty solid new grad resume

#

@vernal quarry @peak silo I've had referalls to job apps and still not gotten interviews, is this normal?

peak silo
#

Unfortunately yes, with how difficult the job market is it’s not unheard of
