oops

[slender spoke]

jesus

cracked

what else can i expect from a harvard student 😭

[potent beacon]

Experience is cluttered imo but yeah bruh u from Harvard big bro ur getting whatever u apply for

There’s some experience stuff that I would personally remove tho cause if u send this resume for swe intern or something

Some of it is irrelevant

[slender spoke]

is harvard like an exception to the school name doesnt matter rule

and stanford maybe

for swe*

ebay and google fresh summer is kind of crazy

[potent beacon]

School name matters

Location >>>> tho

[slender spoke]

I go to Berkeley and

No offense but judging by everything else and the formatting I feel like people here would sweat way harder for those kinds of internships as a freshman

I mean frauding ‘26 would be a given

[potent beacon]

yeah that’s most cs hubs tbf

[sacred wedge]

Brother you go to Harvard... what r u doing here

[slender spoke]

Idk it seems like u didn’t have to hyper optimize bc Harvard name I could be wrong tho

U didn’t change co 26 and stuff like that

Idk urs is fine but usually people go more in depth on fewer things etc etc

More tech less leadership type stuff

I might be delusional though

[sacred wedge]

I'd say to remove the club sites, whats the point of that exactly

Yeah, I haven't seen that before, but I don't think its necessary for proof, no one's checking that anyway

But you go to Harvard so maybe things word differently idk 😅

[potent beacon]

harvard or not optimize anyway

always good to have a good looking resume

who knows bruh even ivies are getting ghosted nowadays

also i think u should put more bullets in each of your experiences

idt one is enough

u could expand on your gsoc project (and all of them)

also remove ur high school ur a sophomore now

[slender spoke]

I mean yeah the point is that being from Harvard counter to popular belief is an exception ats might have for a lot of companies

So therefore school name matters

[silver bluff]

the glazing is crazy

[oblique shard]

Yo sorry to bug you can anyone review my resume

It's in the channel

[fervent cave]

The experiences are not even that good tbh

[oblique shard]

In mine?

[fervent cave]

Its very scattered u should focus on one role per based on what role ur applying for

It causes people to fluke swe apps

At least for big tech

[oblique shard]

I'm focusing on swe intern apps, but those are my only experiences. How would I change it for each role

[oblique shard]

What's this mean

[fervent cave]

Try to only put swe related experiences for the swe apps

BUT for step or explore u can prob keep it all on there

[oblique shard]

But for most apps I should get rid of which ones?

[fervent cave]

ask someone else I'm an incoming freshman

That's just general advice I know

Idk why u didn't just bag a faang program last year

@oblique shard bro I'm not talking to u smh

I'm talking to @amber edge

[potent beacon]

Faang is as a freshman?

Oh wait step and explore and meta university

Yeah OP u should apply you’ll get it

[oblique shard]

Absolute tragedy

[fervent cave]

Do u rec step or zon freshman summer if u had to pick

[potent beacon]

Step

step => Google internship => Google ft

Ezpz

[fervent cave]

Is it guaranteed swe intern after step freshman year or a?

Na*

I might just hook onto step pipeline and chillax college

[fervent cave]

What race?

What did ur resume look like for last year

I heard sophomore apps should be easier since there are more open spots for sophies

Damn

Women asian friends?

Oh damn

I'm p sure its easier though cause people be applying with the same resume and they get through screening

Yea they like women over men

[potent beacon]

YOU

it’s random w higher chance if ur a woman in stem, non Asian minority, etc

do it anyway

[fervent cave]

Na is like guaranteed with his resume sophomore year

[potent beacon]

Nah those programs are never guaranteed

Always random chance

Also yeah was about to say that LOL

[fervent cave]

Identify as a girl or actually a girl

Yea I believe they do

Get one from a ser

Swe

[potent beacon]

Get one anyway

Ur in an ivy go network

[fervent cave]

U should be fine

[potent beacon]

💀

ok makes sense then

[fervent cave]

Which projs did u have?

[potent beacon]

https://resumeworded.com/
put ur resume in this and optimize it

imo too many things included (some not relevant and could be in an activities section or something) and too little bullet points for each

then try again this soph

[fervent cave]

Yea makes a little more sense though maybe with luck u still could've gotten in

[fervent cave]

Do u recommend going into more detail on her projects?

[potent beacon]

eya

[slender spoke]

as a rising soph its like top 5%

[fervent cave]

I'd stay top 2- top 1 depending on what ur applying for

Probs top 10 at least if its swe roles

This is p good but compared to someone who already has a faang swe intern on their resume id choose the faang person

[slender spoke]

i mean yeah yet again shes a freshman

rising sophomore*

[slender spoke]

and people in this category tend to maximize their resumes

[fervent cave]

Well there's quite a few per top uni that manage to get zon freshman year

[fervent cave]

I'd say for scholarships and fellowships is where this resume is best

[slender spoke]

oh yeah i know them

yet again they have basically worked on every small part of their resume

[fervent cave]

Yep mostly luck for zon though

[slender spoke]

true

very much so

[fervent cave]

yea future engineers hard carries a lot of ppl but i know some guys who do it

@crudbob

[plush sky]

zon?

also I wouldn’t call gsoc a google internship technically, since you work on non-google projects

still carries good prestige tho

also I’d add some space between “expirence” and “ebay”

the dividers are too close to the tech imo

[slender spoke]

Well that’s fair eBay is good tho

[lucid sage]

this is too cluttered

in general you want your res to be easily scannable by recruiters

you have like ~15s lol

under each exp I would have first bullet be more general overview of what you did

and then 1-2 bullets under that for more technical depth

follow star etc ofc

[viral wolf]

this aint even that good u glazing. massive larp

[potent beacon]

gsoc is not but ebay ai intern is pretty good

[slender spoke]

yeah but ebay ai intern, given how much time op spend on resumemaxxing is top 1% of outcomes for OP's category

which means that harvard name might play bigger role than people think

[viral wolf]

oh

its not even from ebay

lol

its larp

[slender spoke]

wai twa

wdym

[viral wolf]

its not like shes an employee of ebay
shes just doing a project at a lab that ebay is somehow involved with

[slender spoke]

oh

ook

thats like illegal though right? you cant fraud WE

[viral wolf]

its not illegal

will just fail a background check

[slender spoke]

dont they check WE

yeah thats what i meant by illegal

[viral wolf]

whatever third party company wilj ust hit up ebay and then ebay will be like "idk this person"

then u fail

[slender spoke]

ok so this is the equivalent of a contract ☠️

[viral wolf]

ya massive larp

[slender spoke]

jfl

eh you gotta do what u gotta do

P(background check) might be low, and if u get checked take another intern offer

[viral wolf]

yea its not

lmao

[slender spoke]

this entire csmajor space is just so saturate that atp you might as well troll 24/7

everyone and their mother wants to be a swe now jfl

[viral wolf]

sure im j saying the resume is larp

[crisp wadi]

@amber edge stop larping eBay AI

[slender spoke]

ok guys chill ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀

cs majors r so unhinged

[crisp wadi]

Nah bruh I just hate larpers lol

[slender spoke]

you gotta play the game ig

it is what it is

ima just leetcodemaxx bruh idk what anyone else does

[lucid sage]

nothing wrong with larping lol

as long as you can clear bg check it's fine

[viral wolf]

only some garbage bgc will pass this

[crisp wadi]

Mfs larping prompt engineering in uni lab as industry AI research

Dearlord

[viral wolf]

[lucid sage]

idk how it works for co affiliated lab tbh

[viral wolf]

also wtf does this even mean lol

🤣

[crisp wadi]

@slender spoke ngl bruh I think ur legit stupid

Either that or ur just glazing

[viral wolf]

🤣

[slender spoke]

wdym gang

nah its prolly that i ddnt see the ebay thing i thought it was legit

[fervent cave]

go to sleep libro

[safe wadi]

why is safr ai lab under ebay

what does it even have to do with ebay lol

[safe wadi]

yeah bruh i read it more closely and legit every point is fluffed af

it's great fluffing though

[safe wadi]

cope

[potent beacon]

my bad gang thought the ebay stuff was legit

[safe wadi]

lol i did at first too, but it was sus bc i never heard of an ebay ai lab

so i searched it up and it seems to be a harvard lab not ebay...

[potent beacon]

just put harvard safr lab smh its still sounds great

u can lie about what u did but not where and wat u worked as lmao

[safe wadi]

yeah lol, imo it's fine to exaggerate what you did but outright fabrication is way too risky

[potent beacon]

yea

i think when companies do background check they check for role and the company u worked for

make sure thats correct lmfao

if u put a professional title they hire some 3rd party to call em up

idk how often that happens for internship during university but dont risk it

[safe wadi]

yep, but then again not every firm does background checks

[potent beacon]

might asw lowk

[amber edge]

accidental larp😔

[viral wolf]

im working hard lil bro

just do "Harvard [Name] Lab"

find some way to throw in the ebay contract in a bullet point

[slender spoke]

I know the ceo of eBay

[potent beacon]

i know sundar pichai's dog

[fervent cave]

since interviewers only take like 9-14 seconds a resume I’d recommend cutting down and polish it up too for SWE roles maybe choose your best projects and your best experiences

for sophmore programs u should be fine to keep it all on

also idk how much this works but i know a few kids who just put their club experience as junior developer experience @viral wolf thoughts on that?

im putting web dev intern on my freshman resume

for the freshman programs

idk how itll go for u

yea but like if they spend 10 seconds a resume they arent gonna check right

unless u put the schools name in the subtitle of ur experience

kinda scuffed

[lucid sage]

include the ebay contract

[fervent cave]

idk still visually doesnt look great from a screeners perspective

like the general resume a screener would see is like 3 exp and 2-3 projs with 2-3 bullet points for each exp and project

are you able to change pm and ai contractor to software engineer for swe roles

and are the paranthesis required for those headings

maybe consider removing a couple projects/adjusting your projects based on which company you're applying for

[fervent cave]

@viral wolf prob knows

[viral wolf]

imo its kinda sped but whatever

[fervent cave]

yea if u have any club exp just put the "club name, software engineer" sneak in a club or two on ur resume for swe roles

and then prob remove like 2-3 of ur experiences cause it looks very spread out

[fervent cave]

crudbob+maxed out pattern recognition stat= W resume reviewer

[safe wadi]

cringe

[fervent cave]

my friend landed faang with this

if it works it works tbh but its def fucked up

i know they aint checking if it doesnt have ur uni name in it too

honestly they can probably make a whole college course just for resume reviewing

[potent beacon]

why is it fucked up if you have swe experience in uni clubs?

oh do u mean if u have ANY club exp at ALL?

[fervent cave]

yes

[potent beacon]

oh yeah thats crazy lol

[fervent cave]

they would larp it as actual sde experience in the header

[potent beacon]

they wont check but thats crazy

[fervent cave]

nah i can see why its hella goated strat though for kids with nothing

[potent beacon]

its a goated strat yeah but thats still crazy

[fervent cave]

someone needs to patch it before it gets leaked 💀

[potent beacon]

its not getting patched bro mediocre club member larping as club software developer is a tale as old as time

[fervent cave]

itll look like a startup right? that should be solid for zon

[potent beacon]

prob

idk shit lol

[fervent cave]

if everyone starts doing it then intern market is very cooked

[fervent cave]

i dont think enough people know they can do this

[potent beacon]

another goated strat is to go to ur club centered on industry projects, go network ur way into getting selected for swe intern for a startup from ur uni,

easy swe intern

unpaid but goated for resume

[fervent cave]

ehh startup mid freshman year

fall semester startup is alright

[potent beacon]

how do u get internships in freshman summer bro unless its step or explore or sm

[fervent cave]

yea ima go for step but my schools partnered with statefarm and jpmc so its pretty tight

[potent beacon]

DAMN

[fervent cave]

i should have p solid chances with freshman program though

[potent beacon]

urm?

[fervent cave]

oh like for step my resume is already p solid by the time apps come out

and i got referrals

[potent beacon]

oh shit nice

[fervent cave]

i know its comp as hell for freshman compared to sophmores but we will see

[potent beacon]

i need to hit up my alumni network and get that referral

[fervent cave]

are u doing it via linkedin?

[potent beacon]

yea mostly

[fervent cave]

bro utd alumni network fucking ass ngl

where do u go?

[potent beacon]

brown

[fervent cave]

oh u should be chillin

[potent beacon]

we will see LMAO

[fervent cave]

are u diversity included?

[potent beacon]

not at all

[fervent cave]

i heard thats a one way ticket in too

asian?

[potent beacon]

URM is probably the only reliable way

[potent beacon]

yea asian dude

its over

[fervent cave]

nahh bro an asian fresh from my school got in

male too

for Step

[potent beacon]

we hope

[fervent cave]

philippines per chance?

[potent beacon]

nope

[fervent cave]

oh no hope

[potent beacon]

no underrep minority at all

overep in every capacity

[fervent cave]

maybe w/a referral from a director u have solid chances

i still dont know since luck is a big factor in these apps too

[fervent cave]

yes to this btw i misread it

[potent beacon]

ohhhh ok

ur soilid then

[fervent cave]

hopefully 🙏

[potent beacon]

apply to all of the frosh programs ull at least get one

[fervent cave]

Yea Im confident in landing at least one with urm

my resume is

[potent beacon]

damnnn

one startup as in ur interning for them or started up a start up

gyat

thats amazing bro

u got this

[fervent cave]

Thanks
