Hey y'all! I'm still working on getting more programming related projects onto my resume. This is what I have now as a second year at UCI. Open to any and all critique!
#Low CS Experience Resume

I plan on using this resume to apply during the summer, but I'm worried whether I even have a shot with the lack of projects TuT

Get rid of interests. Remove discord and slack from notable software, and rename that section as Languages

hey, thanks for the reply!
I threw interests onto the resume at recommendation from this post:

Their reasoning for it was because "it gives the interviewer something to connect with you on, and it makes you more than just a faceless resume". This made sense to me so I followed it, but I was wondering what's the reason behind your suggestion of removing it? That and Discord/Slack, is it a bad idea to put communication platforms that I've used for work before? (Now that I think about it, teams could go on there too)

Hey Bhrin, former hiring manager here. Just some quick notes:
- Agree about removing interests. Your resume is being skimmed by a recruiter who is prob looking at 10s of resumes per day. It's best to leave out stuff that isn't super relevant
- Just to be honest, it will be tough given that there isn't much relevant CS projects or experience. A quick win could be to build a personal website using Github pages.
Best of luck!
