I would love any advice people have, I am starting college soon and would love to have a internship at a quant, working on something in C++. I'm also intersted in hardware companies like qcom or nvidia too...

I also forgot to mention on the resume that I have a good chance at renewing my current internship while moving to the SWE department (pending manager approval).

anyways, is this resume good enough for a summer 2025 internship at the aforementioned companies?

scarlet tusk anyone?

I'lll give it a shot,

Center name, links, etc.
Replace 'Incoming 2024' with 'Expected Graduation: 2028' OR 'Sep 2024 - May/June 2028'
Remove highschool
Try to rephrase bullet points that make one or two words overflow into a second line (since this doesn't look good, make it one full line)
Remove the exclamation mark '!', this is not some informercial
Remove (3 years) from skills beside 'C'

Overall IMO not a great resume format and bullet points wise

Bullet points need a lot more work

Other notes:

Add grad month (e.g. June/May 2027)
I prefer to write the full degree e.g. Bachelor of Applied Science or whatever yours is
I don't know if you meant to write 'US' in the location as the country, but it obv should be a state
I personally think there is no reason to include 'US Citizen' if there is nothing on the resume that hints otherwise
Try to reduce last line of first project to just one line
I think it may not be necessary for you to include projects date here, but you can decide better
Why is Assembly the first programming language in skills?

got the us citizen thingy from a yt vid, but if it isn't necessary i'll remove it
now that i think abt it, removing project dates looks cleaner so ill do that
assembly was first because I was going for a alphabetical order, but the resume skills has now been tailored for a backend SWE role (i change it per job posting so its all g)

#

with that said

#

#

here's my semifinal draft

#

all I have left is to fill the empty space, mabye with some more education related stuff

#

thanks for the help btw, I really appreciate it

Nice changes, notes:

Change Bachelors to Bachelor (remove 's')
Separate JavaScript and TypeScript by comma, not slash
I didn't read the bullet points so hopefully someone else can help with that if needed

But yeah, nice overall!
