I haven't had a super amount of reception this applying season. My resume isn't getting past as many screens as I want it to.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

#

Things I am worried/concerned about:
The general consensus from my high school (T1 when I graduated) was that it's worth putting on resumes, but I'm not sure if there is an AI screen that trashes it after seeing the words "high school"
Not sure if my footer for awards and such is a waste of space
Not sure how impactful my projects are for most roles

#

your high school absolutely shouldn't be on your resume once you start college

#

replace that space with relevant college coursework

#

move skills to the bottom, cut awards (you can move the relevant stuff like deans list + pres scholar into education)

#

this is more formatting but if you can, move the company names to the same line as the job titles (eg. Juniper Networks, Software Engineering Intern)
