move experience above projects and get rid of objective
just my thoughts as another student:
i disagree with career person, adding an objective sentence/statement is useless
expand more on projects, you have a lot more content for your tutor position than your projects, when i think your projects are way more interesting, especially recipe ready and covid dashboard.
try to find some metrics for your project and communicate them
are there any users for recipeready? does it receive any amount of queries a day/week/month? are the results accurate? is there any standard you can compare your application with?
what kind of statistics are shown on the covid dashboard? how are you getting these stats? is it from a public api? did you develop your own rest api that makes the calls easier?
your work experience is cs related, but it doesnt look like theres any actual development, so maybe you could reduce the content for these and add more content for your projects.
the part about your robot being in space is way too cool to be at the bottom, if there was any kind of development it might be worth giving it more context
just what i think, you dont have to answer all the questions, i just mean to say that adding more impact to them instead of just simply saying what you did would be better
ty so much, very good feedback
are there any users for recipeready? No
does it receive any amount of queries a day/week/month? No
are the results accurate? Yes
is there any standard you can compare your application with? Unsure
What kind of statistics are shown on the covid dashboard? Cases, deaths, recoveries
how are you getting these stats? Ripping a public api csv
is it from a public api? Yes
did you develop your own rest api that makes the calls easier? No (interesting idea, I made this in HS, I didn't know anything about rest)
The robot being in space was done in middle school with block coding so there isn't a ton of context to give on the resume.
Responding to the questions above, I'm not trying to be negative. I am listening. Maybe I could seriously try to gain users on recipe ready and continue it's development.
your work experience is cs related, but it doesnt look like theres any actual development, so maybe you could reduce the content for these and add more content for your projects. Very true
In conclusion, I will develop my project bulletpoints more (or maybe start a new project). However, I'm unsure how to quantify them.
you could try to get users on it but i think its just a plus, i dont even think its common for students projects to actually have users on it, so youd be better off emphasizing other things instead of trying to get people to use it
the covid one might be a little out of date though, could do the same idea but with different data
biggest thing is trying to find some kind of metric or data to help quantify it, though i cant really help with finding metrics and stuff
basically comes down to expanding more on the projects side, take what i said about the work experience part with a grain of salt because i had no unrelated work experience so im not sure on the best way to put that on a resume
and whenever theres databases/api/authentication, you can try to think about response time, latency, error rates, authentication time, so thats a possible start for those projects
what kind of roles are you looking for? if you're looking for a position with coding, you probably need to show more related to that on your resume, even coursework would probably be beneficial to add succintly given that none of your work experience looks like coding
I'd put skills section in resume
Get rid of interest and achievements and put tech skills
Are you getting interviews?
Not yet
damn, when did you start apply and how many applications?
I recently started back up again last month, I don't keep track of the total amount
Are you student in U.S college right?
yep, us citizen too
So so start first internship application in January?
I started last september but I stopped in november
I didn't go as hard as I should've
wish I applied more back then
I see. That's one of other reason you have very low response rate
If you don't mind, how good your university? For mine, it's only T250
T250
so same as me?
Some points have full stops (.) missing, like the second one in recipe ready, and in experience as well.
