Hi, here is my NG resume. Spent a lot of time customizing it to my own template. It's the general one until I can get enough projects to focus on individual areas. I might remove the masters degree in the new-grad resume and only keep it for interns, if me being a incoming student is a problem for hiring new-grad.

That was the approach I was aiming to take, is there specific ones you think don't match the X-Y-Z?

Okay, i thought your supposed to put Metric first, how you did it, and what tech you used in that order
#1205589426089238548 message
you do it backwards,
"Designed and implemented improvements to REST APIs using Java, AWS DynamoDB, and AWS Cloudtrail, resolving multiple critical security issues"
well you start with what the achievement was, then you do technology, then you do what goal was achieved?
full bay
my theory is recruiters dont read the actual implementation, and only either look at the front to see the metrics, or the back to see the tech, and skip over the complicated part
so it is best to keep it as simple and repeatable across the resume so they can just skip to what they want to see like extract the tech stack without being bogged down by explanation

recruiters look in an F pattern

recruiters look in an F pattern
Well ya that F pattern is reading the first 3-6 words then that is what I do when i see a resume. Take a random mid-level one on here, getting the idea i just read the first 5 words then move to the next bullet point, for the first 1 or 2 for the company then move to the next . then i just skip down the resume and see if any other background stuff stands out like degree, or company names, or a little at their tech stack.

Also, even your chatgpt output is saying you're combining achievement and impact

ok i could reword the first bullet point for sure

Achieved 100% elimination of fraud for fuel card users from 5 corporate clients affected to 0. Implemented Card Lock system in the app using React Native and MongoDB, enabling authorized users to activate cards for 15-minute intervals which resulted in complete eradication of fraud across all clients.
I ran it through gpt trying to improve X Y Z hit but it just repeats the same thing at the beginning and end. But im not really sure how to reword it without too much of it becoming misorganized
Achieved complete eradication of fraud across all clients, enhancing security and trust in the system for fuel card users from 5 corporate clients affected to 0. Implemented Card Lock system in the app using React Native and MongoDB, enabling authorized users to activate cards for 15-minute intervals
I could delete the beginning and move the end to the beginning which looks like this
Successfully eradicated fraud across all clients and enhanced security for fuel card users, reducing instances from 5 corporate clients affected to 0. Implemented Card Lock system within the app by allowing authorized users to activate cards for 15-minute intervals using React Native and MongoDB
settled on this
ok im going to spam some applications now and try to get into recruiter email's and ask to get in process

Hi
I think you misspelled lambda
4th BP under shamrock. I assume that’s aws lamb
For skills, did you purposely omit stuff like mongo and kubernetes?
full bay
thanks, i struggled to think of every tech skill ive ever worked on to fill it in. I'll add Kubernetes and MongoDB
tight current
For shamrock, fix the periods on most recent copy
Some are missing the ending period
As for actual content, I’ll review it tomorrow. I’m sleepy

For shamrock, fix the periods on most recent copy
ok i did what you said. slightly reduced word count on that first bullet point, but really its the highlight of my internship so its the longest
full bay
i fixed the wording by removing using mongodb and react native
at least its a little shorter now

this resume rly fails on auto parsing engines
not the resumes fault its cause i left the dates off on stuff. So instead of "Jan 2022 - May 2024" its just "May 2024" and I have no address so it cannot pull from that and auto fill

I don't understand your first bullet point
full bay
Bruhh okay the first bullet point is cursed
full bay
I don't understand your first bullet point
Like what it does? It was the whole point of my teams focus. Before their company clients were pissed off people were stealing drivers cards and loading up on spending with it
So now, within the app you would have to hit activate card then it would work for a 15 minute period of purchasing before being locked again
Then their companies were happy. Obviously this was a very huge project and our whole team had been at work on it for a while. I only did some parts of the UI flow in the front end for react native. But of course on my resume I will take credit for such an idea

it's a 3 line long bullet point that is a runon sentence and not really clear
and if I'm skimming a resume I'm not going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what something means

As a note, you have your LinkedIn which defeats the anonymity.

Also, your email is public from your links so definitely anonymize your header if you wanna keep your identity hidden on this server 🙂

Isn’t Provility software in India? Sketch
Also if you haven’t start school for master yet then why have it there?
fair python
That’s a good point.

Also K8s is a tough skill some engineers wouldn’t get to touch that even at mid level. If you add that, are you ready to be tested on it?

Isn’t Provility software in India? Sketch
The problem with this as well is if you have it listed as in India you will look like an international. But if you list it as Kansas City then it will Sketch and might fail background checks
calm trout
Ya I’ll try to rework it
if it takes someone effort to understand what you did in your first bullet point
they likely aren't going to put the effort in

It’s really not as big of a deal as the people here are making out, nobody cares enough to background check your internships. I’ve had friends get jobs with entirely made up internships they never did.
Some internships are unpaid also, removing any paper trail you worked there
As long as I can talk about it and answer questions, it’s not a issue
Maybe I call it remote idk someone else told me to put that there

That’s a good point.
You need the masters on the application to apply for internships? They won’t hire someone without continued schooling for an intern.

takes too long to get a response from them. i did get accepted to a local university. they often never check whether you are going to the masters or not when you do get hired, just your undergrad transcripts are enough to prove you did finish a degree.

I wouldn’t put GT until you’re accepted.
full bay
its usually enough to qualify as an intern as long as you say you are going to pursue a masters, doesn't really matter where that masters is.
If somebody rejects me because I don't have a GT acceptance letter to send them, well then I'll change it.
Most likely they just request the undergrad transcripts and leave it at that. theres not much to show for a masters you havent started yet

I disagree with your actions but it’s your move

Tbh this resume is one of the best I have ever seen. Good luck man, you got this!!

Thanks , Nsa interview is on Tuesday so it may pay off soon
