why will no one give me an interview

[torpid light]

experience

[silent spear]

take out the experience and make 3 more full stack projects

[turbid reef]

actually?

zero experience on my resume ?

[silent spear]

ok take out the last one then, it's irrelevant

[cobalt rampart]

where are you applying

[silent nexus]

Hi fellow Ontarian. Please keep your experience, it looks good!
I'm assuming you want to land internships - here's what I would do to improve your resume:

• Reorder resume -> 0. Summary, 1. Education, 2. Skills, 3. Experience, 4. Projects.
• Update "Data structures and Algorithms" to "Data Structures and Algorithms".
• Update "Honours Computer Science and Economics (Honours Bachelor of Arts) to "Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Computer Science and Economics". No need to include Honours twice.
• Update 2020 - 2025 Expected to "Month 2020 - Month 2025 (Expected)" to be identical to your experience section, where you also include months with dates.
• Add periods to the end of every single sentence for consistency.
• (Optional) Remove either your last project "URL Shortener", OR some bullets from other projects, OR the "Paradigms/Processes" line from your Technical Skills section and add a Summary section that let's recruiters know exactly what you're looking for. Only needs to be 2-3 sentences. Some people will recommend against this but personally I find it very helpful!

Also feel free to DM me if you want a new connection. I'm graduating from an Ontario university with an MSc. soon and have landed internships/co-ops and etc.

[silent spear]

boy if i see u add a summary to ur resume i’m blocking you

[turbid reef]

thank you for the advice, I think I will leave out the Summary section, as majority of people reccomend not to .

[turbid reef]

like any and all swe sde intern roles in ontario canada

[silent nexus]

I used a 2-column resume with a summary section to land an 8-month remote internship. Results may vary, though.

[vital spear]

experiences are outdated

[turbid reef]

true, but i dont have more recent relevant experience

[vital spear]

welp, adding more projects will genuinely net you less than compared to taking leadership experiences of some sort.

it's clear you at least know how to code, but you don't have any experiences that showcase collaboration or working in a team setting from any capacity. pursue extracurricular leadership of some sort even if it's non-technical.

[turbid reef]

I see your point. I do have some team experience with my production coordinator position, but I guess its not like being part of a scrum team and it is outdated. thank you for the advice!

[turbid reef]

if im putting one of my experiences as a software developer at my own company, how do i do it without people not confusing it for a full time position. im confused on what the title should be

cuz it would be weird if i was an intern at my own company

[coral rock]

You can put Founder

[versed lodge]

Last project is too generic

Replace it with something else

[turbid reef]

i wanna put a dev position for scanning purposes

[thin pawn]

what exactly is your role in deltahacks

[turbid reef]

im not part of the team, just attended

[thin pawn]

did u win anything

[turbid reef]

nope, team went to nearby resturant and then went home LOL

couldnt finish

[thin pawn]

damn lmao

i don’t think i would include just that in the resume as there’s no project/no award

[turbid reef]

ah okay

[thin pawn]

but it would be something to briefly (maybe) mention if you had a leadership role

[turbid reef]

understood

any thoughts on the own company role title ?

[west igloo]

why do you think Founder gets filtered out by ATS :o? annecodtal but i got a lot of employers curious about my startup back then when i was interviewing - so I dont see it as a bad thing?

[versed lodge]

Founder, Software Engineer is the best way to go imo

Hit the ATS + show you founded it

[turbid reef]

ive heard employers rn screen for atleast 1 or 2 software dev positions

[turbid reef]

that sounds good, thank you!

[polar vector]

U could also just say
Expected: 2025

Recruiters dont rlly care when u started, more when u graduate

Also Im happy to see Deltahacks
Im one of the organizers

[turbid reef]

ah okay thank you!

[turbid reef]

oh what LMAO i will be there this year aswell

rig it for me 😘

[peak pebble]

i think it might actually lol
better off to put it as a swe internship even tho that's hella cap

u will be asked about it but if u literally founded a company u should know everythin inside out

[peak pebble]

this is comin from somoene who put founder on their resume for a bit

[west igloo]

yeah i was asked s ys deisgn quesitons abt it 💀

[peak pebble]

sys design is wild but so necessary

esp at a smaller company lmfao

[west igloo]

it was goddaddy

for NG

coool interview though

maybe its the market now

[peak pebble]

i had some recruiters tell me that they specifically look for previous internships

however it's purely anectdotal idk what recruiters look at

[turbid reef]

so i should call myself an intern specifically 😈

and when asked ab it

i will say some people in cscareers told me to

[peak pebble]

pmuch lol

[turbid reef]

got it 👍🏾😈

[fresh swallow]

Theoretically, how would they know that you made the company

[fresh swallow]

Yup

[turbid reef]

my linkedin :o

[fresh swallow]

They don’t have that much time

[turbid reef]

i plan to actually do something with it s

ohhh

[last falcon]

[turbid reef]

[storm hare]

[turbid reef]

[storm hare]

[turbid reef]

LMAO i wouldnt take it that far id be scared ti

To

Once i have more experience ill take it off 😭

[slim quartz]

met u at hack the north, we were in the same room lel

[south wraith]

your resume looks solid but i think having 5 bullets is overkill for projects unless it was super impressive, if you can reduce bullet points and add more projects either with different stacks or similar stack depending on what roles ur looking at

[turbid reef]

you right, some of the project bullet points r kinda useless anyways, thank yoU!
