Resume is fine. if you’re not getting callbacks it’s probably just a bad hiring market or the company names aren’t standing out to the places you’re applying

Bold metrics and technologies (reduce these). Kind of a nit but your points should really be exemplifying impact and not just regurgitating technologies or work done like a lot of them are. What did you achieve, by what metric was it measured, what CORE technologies did it involve. Right now there’s a lot of noise there hiding what your real impact is

IMO

#

ive been doing fine with canadian locations but american locations even w/ referral its been bare

#

then again the bar for canada is probably lower since no americans apply there

Woweee second year with four internships? Maybe grad date could be a problem?

#

is there a work around for the grad date? i.e. change it so it's a year earlier or smth

try 2025 grad date, see how that does

Just list your end date, maybe exclude the start date of degree if you're worried
