Graduated from a selective college 2 months ago. I have applied to over 400 jobs and have gotten only 2 interviews and 2 coding assessments.
I decided to completely redo my resume. Please roast my resume or let me know if you think its job hunt ready.
Appreciate any feedback!

Create a few variations of this resume according to what you’re applying to. put skills higher and put education lower.

this is not correct
do not put your skills above your high honors bachelors degree
lol

When an AI parses ur resume

anyway my initial view:
was that internship real or a friend’s side hustle?
that aside, what tech solutions? what tech providers? what was this b2b portal made with?
7 mysql tables is not really a bullet point demonstrating anything beside “i know how to write a schema”
what were these 6 key features
those languages seem excessive, i only have 4 languages that i’d be comfortable being asked about. You might know them very well but that’s just me

It can miss many keywords
crystal crest
what are you talking about
a cs degree with honors is the first line item you put there if you don’t have experience
vague junco
this is not correct
Its for the job ad when parsing the resume, not all are equal
The skills and the projects are key
crystal crest
yeah idk, i don’t buy it
vague junco
Alright just do a few variations and see whats best wilson
Take both advice, it cant hurt
crystal crest
he might try that but i don’t think he can make variations without fluffing it to shit
not saying it’s pointless thought, just not really sure if that moves the needle

Yea I will try both. I think it is still important to tailor my resume despite my inexperience

Also thank you both for the feedback!

the bullets on 1st project are what i think you’d want to see for the experience
and you can make plenty of shit less bloated, your coursework section is huge and honestly could be trimmed down w/o removing much

Yeah tailor it to what you’re applying to. Put skills that are required in the ad and any projects that are related

frankly thoufh i think your ratio is good
2 interviews per 200
in this job market with your resume i think that’s not even close to what plenty of grads throw out in terms of numbers lol
10 interviews if you do this process 5x more times with that ratio

damn really? Ive heard alot of people say aim for 5% callback
thats make me feel alot better lol

what else do you think is bloated? I agree the coursework section should be cut down to probably 2 lines instead of 3

damn really? Ive heard alot of people say aim for 5% callback
idk look at some of the other resume postings here. it’s bleak for some lol
higher is better, i guess aim for it but i truly truly don’t think your resume (beyond experience section improvement ) is going to move the needle from a 2% to 5% callbacks
not really useful advice though
magic estuary

Yea that makes sense
i would probably have to work on more side projects to expand my portfolio until i get my first job
crystal crest
But yeah i mean of course it’s “job hunt ready”
just go apply more lol
that’s a more effective approach
Not saying don’t improve it but if you’re waiting on some resume hack to restart the process that’s procrastination
busywork, in a sense
