you have rly good exp

#

switch to jakes resume template (more standardized and provides a good way to structure)

#

use XYZ bullets, basically “accomplished X by doing Y which resulted in Z”

subtle tiger
#

is there a cap to how many bulklet points

tepid dagger
#

Z is a metric you want to include line (70% reduction in bottom line costs or smth like that)

#

do i also need projects?

#

i have some old projecs which arent that good

tepid dagger
#

Also don’t use nested bullets

subtle tiger
#

okay

tepid dagger
#

You can shorten your bullets

#

Make them 1-2 lines max each

#

Ideally each exp’s bullets will take up 4-6 lines total

#

I’d put down a project or two at least

#

If ur old projects r bad start working on new ones

toxic verge
#

Your experience bullet points should explain more about how your skills played a factor in your experiences

tepid dagger
#

But with ur experience you can get away with no projects

subtle tiger
#

i feel like im getting zero callbacks

#

even with my experience

tepid dagger
#

so basically follow Jakes, use XYZ, add a project or two, and you should get callbacks

subtle tiger
#

i only have front end projects

tepid dagger
#

There’s people with much much worse experience getting OAs and phones

subtle tiger
#

should i add them

tepid dagger
#

that’s fine

tidal gull
#

ur cracked lol

tepid dagger
#

but expect frontend roles

subtle tiger
tepid dagger
#

could be an ATS issue

#

are you international

subtle tiger
#

nope

tepid dagger
#

yea just follow my points above and you should see ur rate improve

toxic verge
# subtle tiger should i add them

I'd suggest looking at job descriptions and looking at keywords/phrases/skills in the job description and seeing if those words/phrases/skills are in your resume

tepid dagger
#

^

subtle tiger
#

this was my resume earlier from jakes resume but i changed the descriptions

tidal gull
subtle tiger

dang

toxic verge
#

what do you guys mean by callback

#

like 40% result in interviews?

#

Goddamn thats crazy

subtle tiger
#

can i put school projects?

#

i have some ai projects from school

#

for classes

tepid dagger
#

yea def

toxic verge
#

yeah they don't need to know its for school

tepid dagger
#

as long as u did it actually

#

Don’t cap (unless you would be able to answer all questions abt it)

tepid dagger
subtle tiger
#

oh

tepid dagger
#

I’m just estimating

subtle tiger
#

i made a guitar simulator in c++

#

do u think that might be good

tepid dagger
#

yeah that’s good

#

list only 2 projects I’d say

#

Your exp is good enough that u don’t need it

tidal gull
#

the biggest problem are ur points and format

#

u fix it and u chilling

toxic verge
subtle tiger
#

should i reapply to old jobs?

#

with new resume

tepid dagger
#

i wouldn’t reapply to all maybe a few

#

but you could get blacklisted

#

it’s just better to focus on new places thatre gonna open

subtle tiger
#

oh

#

this was the resume i was submitting earlier

#

the new one. had is more recenti

fervent flume
#

I think there is a lot of white space , which means the bullets could be more in-depth and descriptive

tepid dagger
#

use jakes

#

trust us

subtle tiger
#

@tepid dagger @toxic verge @fierce rover

#

Updated my resume

#

review pls

tepid dagger
#

Looks much better, I'll send some feedback

#
  1. Put education at the top, skills at bottom (its more standardized, and is expected to be in that order for interns/current students)
  2. Make the bullet for "Institute for Software Integrated Systems" one line. It's just one word over one line, yet it takes up two lines.
  3. For your computer vision internship, either add more content per bullet or, better yet, combine the bullet.
  4. Using the saved space from points #1 and #2, add more specific information for your "Chess Engine with AI" project. Be as specific and technical as possible. Use metrics if possible.
  5. The SchoolHacks bullet is one word over the 1 line limit. Cut it to 1 line.
  6. Using the saved space from #5, add more content to Playground.
