took of the "in team of X", UML, last bullet of my internship

#

your projects have dates but no github or demo links. do you have any personal open-source projects you can showcase? hiring managers really love seeing those because it proves you can actually do the work

#

I assume you cut out the name + contact info, but it's actually part of the resume?
also I assume you already ensured ATS can parse it well?

solemn kraken Sep 20, 2022, 2:03 AM

#

I have github links but I don't know where to put them

#

ATS parse you mean like resumeworded?

#

and yes I cut off my infos

mystic marlin Sep 20, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

To check ATS, run the pdf through any job application on Smartrecruiters (eg. Visa).
For github links, on my resume I substituted dates with them like so:

#

did you do it with latex?

mystic marlin Sep 20, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

while having a github link up in the infos section may work, this caters better to lazy/busy HMs and recruiters

#

yep

#

if you're doing a latex resume, definitely get comfortable with latex

solemn kraken Sep 20, 2022, 2:17 AM

#

I just use overleaf for now but will definitely try to learn more latex

you mean when I upload my pdf on a job application I need to get the right result? Like each experience is well separated from the next one etc..

mystic marlin Sep 20, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

yep. focus on making sure the dates are parsed out, that your education is parsed, and that it picks up the important experiences (and ideally the important keywords)

#

like maybe it wont be a perfect parse but it should be pretty good

solemn kraken Sep 20, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

ok right I see

mystic marlin Sep 20, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

you removed some bullets?

solemn kraken Sep 20, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

I removed the last bullet from internship, and the 2nd bullet from the last project

#

because these bullets were pretty useless, just talking about jira and confluence, and some people told me it's useless to mention that

#

I also went from the "more than" notation to the "+" notation, which made some bullets go from 2 lines to 1 line
