Put your TA position as the last entry for experiences. While you’re still currently a TA it’s better to have SWE intern at Microsoft as the first experience
#Resume Review for New Grad 2023 SWE
bronze tangle
It’ll slightly improve your resume but new grad is just rough this year and the companies you listed (except Dell) that you were rejected from aren’t too surprisingly even with MS on your resume
Also in your bullet points pretty much everywhere you are writing about what you did and not the impact you created
Look at the pinned post under resume and read the Google X Y Z template

do i basically just BS some random statistics of what is realistic
for TA work, I'm thinking of adding the scale in terms of number of people influenced by what I did
e.g. over 1000 students now
50+ TAs probably

Right but what’s more important a SWE intern at MS or a TA
bronze tangle
Reduced QA testing investigation by integrating (some tech here), using this tool, improving average time of investigation by 80%
Yeah rework those TA bullet points

i feel like i have too many things to say for TA work but not sure whats important
i feel like the technical stuff was what i rly spent most of my time
bronze tangle
For example Increased marking efficiency by 200% by developing a BASH script for quickly organizing student material etc etc
You can maximize some bullet points

but the teaching + leadership stuff is something thats not rly anywhere else in my resume
bronze tangle
Trained, and hosted weekly sessions for over 1000 students and 50 TA colleagues on course material and delivery
1st, and 2 last bullet points all in one

highlighted red are what I mainly changed
added some BS / flair
@bronze tangle thoughts / nits?
bronze tangle
I think its fine, not the best and not showing impact enough still overall
I think with what you're saying in your points its hard to actually show impact without lying completely
Instead of Web Development Engineer Lead say
Full Stack React Developer Lead
On your linkedin
But resume is fine
jagged mountain
yeah, the problem is specifically for my internship,
the results arent rly there
until way after i leave
bronze tangle
Yeah its maximized enough
You could ask your Senior engineer at MS what the impacts would be and write those
I did that for my resume impact
jagged mountain
yeah what i put down is basically the expected impact
because of how windows dev cycle work
stuff i did a year ago still isnt there lol
bronze tangle
That's normal
But I do think your resume is good and it's the tech recession heavily impacting reply rates
jagged mountain
Full Stack React Developer Lead
any reason why it should be different?
