Way too much info

quaint pine
#

im not going to lie. it'd be better to just delete this resume and start over.

#

nothing on you, resume writing is hard to get into

#

@quaint pine @sonic tendon idk how it'll benefit me to start from scratch. i already did it once. i'm kind of stuck in the "resume hell".

here's a slightly improved version, what do you think?

quaint pine
#

it's really bad

#

there's just way too much on it

#

and 0 projects

#

no one wants to read allat

#

also u have like no numbers almost

#

i rly recommend just trashing this resume

#

and looking at some good ones

#

and basing it off that

#

look up google xyz formula

#

...

#

ur projects are in experience ??

quaint pine
#

ur not 3 yoe then

#

ur 0 yoe

inner jungle
#

wtf?

quaint pine
#

i would also get rid of the introduction

dull acorn
#

I think he means personal projects not work projects

inner jungle
dull acorn
#

Where are they

#

Keep bp no more than 4-5. That’s just way too many

inner jungle

#

U don’t have to include a date for the project. Just be sure to talk about them comfortably in interviews if asked.

I I think u have a good amt of experience. U need to maybe cut some of the content and highlight the most impactful points.

quaint pine
#

did u happen to go caltech/work w/ anyone at caltech

dull acorn
#

And for the amt of exp, u are okay with 2 projects listed on resume

quaint pine
#

im just curious bcz ur experience sounds similar to someone ik

inner jungle
#
  1. personal info
  2. experience
  3. 2 projects
  4. skills
  5. education

that's the layout?

inner jungle
quaint pine
#

nvm then 🥲

#

this should have numbers

#

i think google xyz is a good starting point

dull acorn
# quaint pine this should have numbers

I agree. Most of them are like creating a survey that hides questions etc etc… I mean not really needed imo. You can cut those,
Google XYZ is great, use that to create impact

Reduced file upload times by [y] by doing trasncribing [n] larege mdia files in parallel using blah blah blah

#

smth like that would be much better

#

you dont need numbers for every bullet point

#

just show case what your MAJOR points were for your time at a certain company

#

if you have metrics show them

#

not every bullet point needs some metric thats most likely going to come out of your ass

#

also your points for your top most exp is too long

#

like they are all extremely wordy and hard to follow

#

also you don't need a summary. you arent transitioning from one degree to another or have 0 exp.

inner jungle
#

@gaunt canyon yeah i'm editing my resume right now. so far i've removed the summary. removed 5 bullet points. and currently im improving my bulletpoints to show impact (not all of them).

i have a question if you can answer, do you think its important to show that you've created CI/CD pipeline to automated deployment/testing?

#

i'm asking because i also deleted CI/CD point from my resume

gaunt canyon
#

Thats pretty big so id keep that

#

just make sure to not over explain it

inner jungle
gaunt canyon
#

as many as you need to, just dont make it over complicated to read if that makes sense

inner jungle
#

and i'm filling that new empty space with 2 personal projects and a Open Source Contributions section, what do you think?

gaunt canyon
#

that can go under projects

#

are you listed under the githubs contributions?

inner jungle
gaunt canyon
#

how big was the bug?

inner jungle
gaunt canyon
#

was the change a major help?

inner jungle
#

but i feel its not that significant to include in my resume

gaunt canyon
#

i dont think so either
