TF💀💀💀💀💀

#

shit gotta be cap

#

but anyways

#

not enough quantifying. ur bullet points are good, but not great

delicate lynx
#

huh why

#

its not

dreamy sage
#

they could be great if you quantified it more

#

that's j surprising if you go to stanford lol

delicate lynx
dreamy sage
#

everywhere in experience

#

and projects is like

#

super short description

#

doesn't tell anyone anything really

#

take out leadership imo

#

plenty of place to talk about leadership in a behavioral interview

#

you can use that space to talk more ab projects

#

well you can though

#

example

#

"identified biomarkers "

#

how many!

#

?*

#

word it to make it look more impactful and productive

#

also how no luck if you're at a unicorn rn

#

ahh i see

#

that's weird

#

for stanford at least

grand basin
#

NO WAY

#

Stanford should automatically get you past resume screen wtf

twilit sundial
#

sample size too small and too early in process to determine success rate

west marten
#

Ain’t no way

#

It’s glean who wanna work there junior year

grand basin
#

Stanford my dream school fr

west marten
#

Oh fr

#

I never heard of it

#

Lmfao

grand basin
#

^ write more about your projects

#

And leadership

#

Did u have success last year

west marten
#

Leadership is kinda useless

grand basin
#

no callbacks?

#

same

#

Companies just hate top schools now

#

I’m trynna relate to our fellow collegue here 💀💀💀

#

Does quant recruit Stanford ?

#

Yield protection

#

They know you’re not gonna go or stay

#

So they don’t waste time

#

Idk if it’s actually true or not but In theory it makes sense

#

If you think about it from a recruiter perspective you’re a Stanford student with a good internship , why tf would you wanna work at “us bank” for example

#

You right sir I’m coping hard

delicate lynx
#

also i feel like recruiters dont really nkow what stanford is they mainly know faang

#

its mainly the top smaller companies/unicorns that appreciate it

#

idk what i should do, like if i need to change my approach or anything

grand basin
#

^

#

@delicate lynx did u apply jpmc

delicate lynx
#

yes

#

didn't hear back yet

#

applied to palo alto location

grand basin
#

delicate lynx

grand basin
#

grand basin
noble wedge
#

the insta rejection from lockheed hurt no cap

grand basin
#

Reapply

noble wedge
#

Probably did mess up

#

yh facts

grand basin
#

yield protection

delicate lynx
#

aint no way they're doing yield protection

#

recruiters dont think that deep

grand basin
#

Bro who from MIT is staying at Lockheed 😂

fading rain
#

i would replace leadership for project bullet points

#

but this is really scary that you aren’t getting returns with that

#

you must be clicking a check mark that says “unable to do internship” or something

west marten
#

cornell?

#

bro deleted message

dire dew
dire dew
#

but being honest they are like only 3 companies outside of quant that has sent interviews and all of the other companies are hiring 10 interns

dire dew
west marten
#

blud did NOT get into nyc

dire dew
#

i put delaware as a first loc and like nyc second and got delaware hackathon

#

and that serves both nyc and delaware 💀

analog ore
#

rejected from drw is crazy lmao

trail falcon
analog ore
#

yeah it has to be a skill issue atp

delicate lynx
#

ok tbf i didn't really try on the drw one so it was mid

#

bc i dont wanna go into quant

delicate lynx
west marten

#

do you guys think jakes resume template would look better than what i have right now? i was using jakes until someone said creating it on word -> pdf parses better so i started doing that. is there anyone who had a really high response rate with jake's?

dire dew
fading rune
dire dew
#

false

#

if u have an internship lol

delicate lynx
#

imagine getting rejected from caterpillar construction 😭

#

imma cry

dire dew
delicate lynx
#

💀

delicate lynx
#

Is c++, python, julia really necessary for relevant coursework? I imagine we all used those

#

ds&a linear alegbra and calculus all u need to list

#

i dont think there is really anything else u can improve it looks good

vocal marlin
#

should've gone to mit

west marten
dire dew
#

@west marten FAST

dire dew
delicate lynx
#

resume parser checks for ds&a, math stuff would just look good to recruiter

dire dew
dire dew
#

Dsa and cs courses are enough

delicate lynx
#

^ ye i agree

dire dew
#

Ye idk

delicate lynx
#

idk anyone who chose mit all my friends and i preferred stanford

delicate lynx
#

should i list "data structures and algorithms" on my coursework? that's what programming abstractions is called here but i feel like most recruiters wouldn't know that

red ice
#

It’s kinda expected of someone applying for 2024

#

Could give impression you are stretching

delicate lynx
analog ore
#

wtf is ur name 💀

analog ore
#

literally every other stanford cs major has taken them

delicate lynx
#

yeah

#

i just put that for more keywords

pale bane
#

Can you share what keywords you use to search for them on linkedin, i keep seeing the full time positions, no internships

delicate lynx
#

just software engineer intern

#

i do it everyday for a few mins in the night and i'm able to apply for a lot of stuff before it even gets on the pitt github

pale bane
delicate lynx
analog ore
#

stanford alone with zero exp should clear

wild wind
#

that’s not true I’m ngl @analog ore

analog ore
#

what’s not true

#

u should pass 90% of screens prob with Stanford and 2025 grad

wild wind
#

“stanford” isn’t rly enough now

analog ore
#

lol

wild wind
#

I wish

analog ore
#

do u go to Stanford

wild wind
#

yea

#

and like

analog ore
#

wtf are they doing over there 💀

wild wind
#

everyone is wild when it comes to cs recruiting

#

so u got 50 Stanford kids applying to the same role yknow

#

and some r better than others

#

hard competition out here

delicate lynx
#

Even then recruiters prob care much more about work exp

wild wind
#

plus our career fair kinda sucks

#

like 100+ kids in line for Apple

#

nothing is gonna make u rly stand out

delicate lynx
#

Career fair is still good if they’re cool small startups

#

But I’m talking about like when applying online I feel that normal recruiters don’t care

wild wind
#

imo I’ve found the career fairs to be not useful

#

maybe some ppl but that’s minority get smtg from it

#

yeah I totally agree

analog ore
#

idk even if stanford doesn’t get u past screens anymore (which isn’t true) u have intern + research already

#

there’s no shot ur not passing screens unless there’s another issue

wild wind
#

im telling u it doesn’t work like that 😭😭

analog ore
#

im telling u it does

wild wind
#

I also got internships and research idk what these companies r looking for atp

#

bro we are ppl at Stanford 😭😭

analog ore
#

People in rando t20s that arent Stanford get interviews with no prev exp except research/ta etc

analog ore
delicate lynx
analog ore
#

but the issue isn’t ur resume

#

which is what I said in the first place 💀

wild wind
#

when u apply

#

the only thing they get is the resume for the resume screen

#

and if the resume isn’t the problem

#

and they’re not looking for sponsorship

#

then what

delicate lynx
#

What seems to be the problem if its not the resume

tidal junco
#

also this szn just sucks

wild wind
#

lmao okay I am just lying then

#

pointless conversation

delicate lynx
#

its impossible to figure out whos telling the truth without any pics of the actual career event

vocal marlin
grand basin
#

^^^^^^^^^^^

west marten
#

y’all doing something wrong

delicate lynx
#

lol dw it's not 0% anymore

tidal junco
#

Congrats :))

delicate lynx
#

#

it was 0% resume -> interview

delicate lynx
#

#

no offers yet but interviews are rolling in
