I aint reading allat. Thats the brutal honesty

#

4 bullet points max for job exp, 3 for projects
2 lines max for each bullet point

#

Its too cluttered even if its good

ivory inlet
#

much better feedback than the generic bs i normally get

crisp bane
#

Remove the tpm unless u tryna be a tpm

#

Your bullet point is too long

#

If u cant communicate concisely its not a good signal

#

Not sure wtf a treasury/swe intern is

#

Just write swe and your team

#

Same with front office (instutitional investing) intern

#

If ur trading just write trading and then the team

#

Also u interned for a full year?

#

If u intern for multiple periods across different team u should split it out

crisp bane
#

Also its my strong opinion that u should remove mention of technology

#

Python, aws, react

#

Waste space, low signal

#

Write what the project is, what it accomplishes

#

Like "I made X, it did Y" Y being an impactful thing

#

Spamming keyword doesnt actually help that much btw

#

No interviewer has ever said "wow you worked with aws, tell me more"

#

At least not interviewer in strong companies

#

Keep it short, and short usually brings a stronger impression

#

It means you know clearly what you did and how it helped the company

#

Esp for intern, nobody cares what tech keyword you spammed

ok great, this all makes sense

#

tysm

ivory inlet
#

like instead of yapping on using flask and shit for a project, just say i did x and had y impact and include the techs in skills?

crisp bane
#

Yea spam keyword at the bottom

#

It helps u passed dumb recruiters screen

#

But when ur resume lands on hm desks the more u spam keyword instead of talking about impact the less they like you

#

All the hms want rockstars/potential rockstars 🫠 and hopefully not too antisocial

#

Either do really hard things and/or really big things
