roast my resume for winter 2024

[wind widget]

Put libraries above tools

Get rid of GitHub

And vscode

Specify which AWS services

Chess engine bullet 1 is too verbose

Get rid of the specific chess rules, you mention those verbally if they inquire

Bullet 2 is a bit verbose too try to be more concise

Any metrics to back up those claims?

Education needs to go to the top

Skills can go to the bottom or wherever honestly

CS50 remove I don’t think it’s that valuable since a bunch of ppl have taken it

If the other ones are more reputable keep otherwise remove too

first exp, first bullet rather just remove the cutting edge enhancements part and mention the models you implemented + any metrics associated with advancements

Make the bullets at most 2 lines

Bullet 3 flip the sentence mention the ultimate goal first then the features

Last bullet add a link to the research paper just remove the collaboration part it’s implied

Next experience rather than mentioning discussion is there anything specific in those discussions you can highlight?

Did you write the research papers or just present existing one?

ML exp change the verb spearheaded you end up reusing it later

Any stats related to the rocker deployment?

Google exp mention # of students, mentors, any relevant technical skills you gained

Thanks so much for all the feedback!

[dire wolf]

not really sure how to specify or test how good it is

[dire wolf]

We just rotated presenting every week.

I know it's not really like a direct contribution to anything, but I wanted to highlight that I have knowledge about the topics

Do you think I should remove it?

[dire wolf]

uh we're currently training stuff now. Should I put the estimated accuracy we're going to achieve? Like originally it was 85% or something, but it should end up being 95+

[wind widget]

Yes

[wind widget]

If u have something to measure the runtime (idk what other metric lol) for decision making, might be worth using

[wind widget]

Maybe highlight a specific paper, or take the bullet above and split it into 2 if there is more content to discuss

[dire wolf]

hm that kind of just depends on the depth I want it to search. But I guess that's worth mentioning

[dire wolf]

okay thanks

Also do you think this resume is competitive for Amazon? Should I improve my skills a bit more before I apply?

[wind widget]

What year are you in?

For college

[dire wolf]

I'm going into my second year

I'm at loo btw

[wind widget]

You’ll be fine

make the changes and then apply asap

[dire wolf]

Okie thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it

[wind widget]

Np, best of luck

[dire wolf]

Should I put the Google mentorship program as an experience or part of my education section?

[wind widget]

Make an extracurricular section and put that on there

Is that a club or is it a program they offer?

[dire wolf]

program, it's CSRMP

[dire wolf]

The research paper is for a conference and hasn't been officially published yet. Should I just put the title?

[wind widget]

Yeah that’s fine
