i love the interests haha might have to steal that

#

i see a fellow freshman with IT school team and research over the summer

#

i would definitely try and quantify your work a little more

tired condor
#

bro goes to Caltech goddman

low radish
#

i think fellow is for when you do research at another school iirc

#

Caltech 🤤

#

i can see the EE + CS showing

tired condor
#

how tf do you get into Caltech to begin with

#

bro prob cured cancer in high school

#

i would put the relevant course under education to save space since headers are ginormous and then you could add another bullet to CRATER

tired condor
#

Yea you have some empty space bottom. Relevant courses should do it

#

Idk how i got in đź’€

#

And quantifying would putting the number of contracts i wrote for my research be a good idea?

#

Plus like for my project would lines of code be a good one to put

low radish
#

it feels weak but it’s hard quantifying research

uneven meteor
#

That makes sense

low radish
#

i still need to do that for mine

#

Hm maybe like number of levels, obstacles, sprites, etc?

#

Idk what to put for that

low radish
#

hmm it’s tricky

#

usually you’d want the stat to show some sort of impact on the world / others

#

but quantifying work (levels / lines of code / graphs) is also a route you could take if that’s not an option

uneven meteor
#

Yea it was never like publicly released

#

So i wouldnt be able to do that

low radish
#

gotcha gotcha

#

maybe if you remember some improvement you made along the timeline of the project, optimizing the terrain generation or ui experience, that could be quantifiable

uneven meteor
#

also W fellow research

#

Exactly

#

Anything else i should add? am i unhireable?

tired condor
#

top tech companies might be hard especially in this job market as incoming sophomore unless you have cracked projects like @austere apex

#

take sophomore summer to get experience preferably internship and aim for Junior summer for a huge one

#

i think ur resume is great!

#

i would suggest maybe add some numbers to your exp

#

some of your bullet point is hanging in a line (1st bullet point of 1st exp), i would suggest to cut down 1-2 words to fit those into 1 or 2 lines

#

for the format, maybe put “present” in the date of your 1st project, also remove the “.” in the date of your IT exp, just for consistency

#

otherwise it’s solid! gluck w your internship search🫡
