Recently reworked my resume. Any things I should change?

[uneven nova]

Haha, I probably need to go outside more tho 😂

[thorn zealot]

move skills to the bottom

maybe demonstrate some life

if that makes sense

maybe have one social club or something

[uneven nova]

I had a extracurriculars section that I had to axe to make room for more experience

Making space in my resume is honestly my biggest issue lol

[pastel dock]

how does he have so much software engineer experience as a sophomore lol

[thorn zealot]

i think you can axe projects for extracurricular s

because realistically

what I see

is someone who is just on their computer all day

personally

just grinding which is cool

but being able to work as a team and socialize

be social

show that you are amazing at what you do but also are social

this tells me you are a programmer really

i personally don’t find this impressive

you look like a good number

[uneven nova]

Lots of internships and part-time jobs throughout the year

[uneven nova]

Interesting perspective, thank you. I'll definitely consider it

[thorn zealot]

ur not aiming for a quant right

ok nvm i are

you are

maybe Olympiads too

personally if you have ICPC gold over a SWE intern that’s higher

more prestigious

if you have so much time, maybe do olympiads now

instead of being an intern

[pastel dock]

how were you able to get them all? were you constantly applying lol?

[thorn zealot]

i think they are small companies

[pastel dock]

and are you burnt out for having so many part time jobs lol

[uneven nova]

Two of them are startups. The rest are big companies

[thorn zealot]

where do you go to school

[uneven nova]

A lot of applications and networking

[uneven nova]

Probably lol. The trick is to not stop so you don't have time to get tired 😂

[uneven nova]

T50 uni

[thorn zealot]

is it HFT target?

[uneven nova]

Semi-target. Not an Ivy, but a really good school

[thorn zealot]

bc tbh you don’t need all those swe internships to get faang mula hft

i got faang with 0 internships

[pastel dock]

is it in california?

[pastel dock]

this year or previous year? and what year are you?

[thorn zealot]

sophomore and both ig

[pastel dock]

I got ghosted by all FAANGS this year as a third year lol

[thorn zealot]

i got freshman and just returned

but i’m very social

i had a lot of awards and extracurriculars

and 2 experience

[pastel dock]

i did get an offer tho

[thorn zealot]

but tbh atp just grind olympiads

[pastel dock]

do you guys know if all FAANGS do fall winter spring? i was thinking abt applying to those after having the internship on resume

[uneven nova]

Interesting idea. I've heard different, but that definitely doesn't hurt

[thorn zealot]

too many of one thing is bad

too little is also bad

find a balance

[uneven nova]

For sure, balance is important

[tulip rapids]

ml researcher and soft eng

• point 1: any more detals other than "develop and maintain" Or was implementing the algorithms your main task?
• point 2: what were the results of your research? Just researching means nothing
• point 3: could you just name the algorithms to make this sentence shorter? What were the results of your implementation?

Software engineer Intern

• point 1: what were these features/solutions in the context of the company? You just say you made 18 things with these skills
• point 2: any metrics to add? How well does this option run

Software engineer intern (y combinator)

• point 1: again what did these features do, was this one project where you added this number of features?

Software engineer (2nd last position)

• point 1: include what did these audio features do
• point 2: include how you used bash scripts to improve the time

Software engineer (last position)

• I have no idea what this project does so the first point doesn't make sense

[uneven nova]

Good insights, thanks

I never have enough space to explain things to the extent I want to lol

[thorn zealot]

then delete 3 of them

rule of 3 is also key

then you can have more space too

[uneven nova]

Rule of 3?

[thorn zealot]

rule of 3

it’s human nature

3 is a good number for some reason

[uneven nova]

Ah, gotcha

[pastel dock]

are you talking about number of experiences or number of bullet points

[thorn zealot]

both

plus what what darkspyder said

[pastel dock]

but for experience you mean like only 3 of a certain type at max (like swe for example) right

[thorn zealot]

that too

[pastel dock]

why can't you have more than 3 bullet points under a certain experience? What if you have done a lot

[thorn zealot]

you can no one is stopping you

it’s just the rule of 3 is a good pattern

[pastel dock]

where did you learn this lol

[thorn zealot]

is it not common knowledge?

jk

i just did a lot of research

to perfect a resume and it works

[pastel dock]

did your resume like barely get ghosted freshman year?

or did it still get ghosted a lot?

[thorn zealot]

i heard back from all faang

[pastel dock]

wow nice, what did you put as graduation date on your resume?

also how many projects did you list? and how many experiences?

and what school do you go to if you don't mind

[uneven nova]

Might want to just post your resume to answer all of Tim's questions 😂

[pastel dock]

lol fr, or just DM it to me XD

[pastel dock]

did you also hear back from all FAANG w ur resume lol

[uneven nova]

Only Microsoft. This internship cycle sucks with how bad the economy is doing

[pastel dock]

o, microsoft is for summer 2023 right?

did you apply to faang last year?

[uneven nova]

Correct

[uneven nova]

I did, but I didn't hear anything back. I had much less experience then. Also, being a white male doesn't help lmao

[pastel dock]

try being asian male lol (me xd)

[uneven nova]

rip

[pastel dock]

do you know when off season apps typicall open (fall winter spring)?

i was thinking applying to those hoping economy gets better by then

[uneven nova]

Please tell the FAANGs that

Nope. Dec 2024 and then I'm free lol

It all turned out fine in the end
