@languid girder I read your resume bullets and modified mine, what do you think?

"Results – what happened as a result of your action and what you learned/gained from the experience (!!!!!!!!). It can be helpful to include some metrics if applicable, but don't take too much sole credit for things you did as part of a team. Remember, highlighting your ability to work in a team is a benefit not a drawback."

#

"SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE" i think this is a weird title but maybe just me

#

minor but i'd separate JS from HTML/CSS

#

"GitHub/Lab" -> "GitHub/GitLab"

#

or just remove the gitlab part

#

" VSCode, IntelliJ IDEA" remove

languid girder
#

you don't really need semicolons at the end of each bullet imo

#

"resulting in 15% fewer bugs" by what analysis?

zinc smelt
#

@languid girder thanks for the tips thus far

languid girder
#

"Programmed Python test scripts in Linux" in Linux?

zinc smelt
#

not sure but what analysis, figure from manager

#

in linux enviornment* good catch

languid girder
#

at least explain more about the reduction because it's a bit odd in isolation

#

"Presented to key shareholders with completed updates and demonstrated functionality of feature updates leading to approval"
underutilised and poorly explained imo

#

this can be a v good thing

#

just needs to be executed better

#

"• Offer accepted, position canceled due to COVID-19" remove this

#

"Led the development of instructional videos for X, a job placement application for servicemen, by coordinating with team
members and by communicating in person and remotely to establish key goals, adhere to strict budgets, and meet hard deadlines;"
this sentence does not work. it's too long and flows badly

#

"supporting backend development;" vague

#

you are not doing this

Make sure that everything you put on your CV has a purpose. Every single word should be there for a reason. Really sit there and think about why you are writing certain things. Are you just finishing the sentence on auto-pilot, or are you writing with purpose? Remove the fluff/waffle.

#

"while overseeing the collection of 1000s of necessary assets as well as the editorial process." vague

#

"Object detection deep CNN in Python"

languid girder
#

"for domain adaptation" ?

#

"Trained the models on 1000s of simulated images, leading to predictions on real extraterrestrial surface images of varying altitudes."
this feels so close to a very cool sentence
