I mean there isn't anything super wrong with your resume per se, it's just very tough to get stuff as a co 25 Grad in this market
#I applied for a ton of internships but haven't really been getting any responses. Please help me?

Change your graduation date to May 2024
pseudo wyvern
do not lie about ur grad date if u have morals^
imo ur technologies list is too long, try to keep it to one line
for smth like awards, i wouldn’t recommend just shoving a bunch into a list like that
it just becomes word vomit
keep your tense consistent even if ur currently doing smth - just use past tense
remove project dates as they may be off putting or misinterpreted to some (it seems like u worked in a project for 2 years)
add a quick tech stack beside the project header (language first, framework/libraries next) as a short and sweet list

adding to this, there’s a double space

Ain’t no one caring about morals here

If you have the ability to graduate in 2024 then it isn't lying
and tbh as long as you took a few APs in HS & aren't doing like 12 credit hours you prob can

my transcript says I am a junior
the school says I'm a junior on the deans list
why should I not say I'm a junior on my resume lol
pseudo wyvern
if ur institution agrees that ur a junior i see no issue
but i’m seeing ppl with grad date 2027
who are writing 2024
and it makes me incredibly pissed
“oh if i drop co-op and overload and take courses during summer” yeah stfu
pseudo wyvern
nah some programs are 5 year due to coop
so they’re 1st year
but yeah
i still don’t agree with changing ur graduation unless u truly intend on it (and that’s something only u know personally)
there are tons of ppl who just lie to themselves in this context
serene blaze
No even if it’s not possible still change your graduation date

I graduate in May 2025 but I changed it to May 2022 before I was a freshman and I got google
serene blaze
I left off my start date

I respect it lmao

if you’re qualified to go through the interview process and can get a job over upperclassmen i really don’t see why you should have to limit yourself by your grad date
that being said it’s not needed
i’ve put 2024 before when i’m probably gonna be 2025
but i got dropbox as a 2025 grad and they knew i was 2025 grad
amen
yeah during my dbx recruiter call they were like “and you’re a 2025 grad right?”
was scared to say yes fr 😭
serene blaze
Yeah, when I graduate in May 2025 I’ll put a graduation date of May 2026 so I can keep passing internship resume screens

If I say I’m a junior as a first year (even if I do have enough credits to graduate in two years in theory) is there a risk that they ask me about the classes that I’ve taken so far?
Since I learned most of the stuff on my own but I haven’t really had a chance to take many classes yet since I’ve only been in college for like half a year
serene blaze
i think you can answer that question yourself
