You should add a concepts section

subtle sphinx
#

whats that

karmic seal
#

Under "Skills"

subtle sphinx
#

what would i put there

#

not sure what conceps mean

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

oh ofr?

#

how much did they shoot up

#

dang

karmic seal
#

also make sure you bold metrics/impact + tech stack on your resume

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
quiet void
#

sup

#

oh

subtle sphinx
#

hi

quiet void
#

like 10% to like 40

subtle sphinx
#

i fixed my replit

#

o dang

quiet void
#

i also stopped applying as much

subtle sphinx
#

is this resume a lot better

quiet void
#

but the day after i changed it n applied to stuff i got stripe + others

subtle sphinx
#

than the one i showed earlier

subtle sphinx
quiet void
#

uhh

#

lemme look

karmic seal
#

also, shouldn't TypeScript go in the language section, not the technologies section?

subtle sphinx
#

this was the earlier one

#

oh dang

#

so much white space

#

i never even noticed

quiet void
#

yeah

#

line spaceu sage is decent

#

theres no reason a project should be

#

5 lines

#

when u have like

#

5 exps

#

all ur projs should be 1-2 lines all exp 3-4

subtle sphinx
#

okok

quiet void
#

every line should be a novel aspect of what you did as well as qualifiers, concepts, metrics if possible

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

all exp 3-4?

quiet void
#

yeah post it n tag me or dm it

#

yes

#

all exp 3-4

subtle sphinx
#

i only have 2 lines for my research positions

#

is that fine?

quiet void
#

mm

#

if you can put more you can try to get it to 3

#

because

#

exp >>>>>>>>>>>> proj

#

like this

#

is not it

#

if there's genuinely nothing more you can add

subtle sphinx
#

for research

quiet void
#

was there a pub

subtle sphinx
#

nop

quiet void
#

mm

subtle sphinx
#

but isef

#

it was a highschool research

quiet void
#

isef is 🤷‍♀️

subtle sphinx
#

the other two im in rn

#

the ones that im still doing i only have two in

quiet void
#

i think 2 is fine then

#

for the research

#

if u cant elaborate its fine

#

but like id try to elaborat as much as possible

#

cus exp will always have more weight

#

reduce projects to 1-2 bullets each

#

0 metrics in any of them

#

its also like

#

so little actual content in ur zone points

#

cus ur just

#

name dropping so many chars every line

#

AWS Boto3 Python CDK and React

#

AWS Step & Lambda f , CloudWatch, S3/Glacier

#

AWS Federate, CloudFront IAM Identity Provider

#

a recruiter is

#

NOT

#

going to understand

#

what you did

subtle sphinx
#

o

#

so get rid of those?

quiet void
#

dont get rid of them just explain more and keyword drop less

#

there r 2 screens

#

not 1

subtle sphinx
#

o

#

ats + recruiter screen right

quiet void
#

ats (categorizes resumes based on number of keywords hit and weights / biases attached to those words, highlights keywords)
recruiter (actually reads resume based on highlighting of ats)

#

its better

#

but

#

lemme read

karmic seal
#

yeah

quiet void
#

so you built like, a bug / error identification and management tool?

#

for twitter

subtle sphinx
#

moderation policy

quiet void
#

yeah then bullets look alright

#

no metrics tho

#

rip

subtle sphinx
#

idk how to get metrics

quiet void
#

yeah twitter bullets are okay

#

i make them up

subtle sphinx
#

how do u get metrics

#

oh fr

quiet void
#

👍

#

not really

#

just like

#

stretch the truth a lot

#

make assumptions

#

do fake math

#

getmetric

subtle sphinx
#

okay so the moderation bugs i worked on was for like

#

very important people

karmic seal
#

yeah no metrics is fine i think
i've seen people with big names pop off in resume screens with no metrics

subtle sphinx
#

can i make an estimate?

quiet void
#

yeah

#

u can also estimate the number of bugs uf ixed

#

but like

#

affecting [arbitrary number]+ users

#

judas right metrics arent necessary i just find them useful to quickly convey scale and impact to non technical readers

subtle sphinx
#

o

#

i should still include them right

#

how is my amazon metrics?

#

i dont have that much just

quiet void
#

i include metrics in mine

karmic seal
#

yeah i think it's better to have them than not

subtle sphinx
#

saves pms 6 hours weekly

#

basically full day of work

#

per week

#

should i say 30 hours per month

karmic seal
#

but like
it's still possible to pop off in resume screens without them

subtle sphinx
#

saving 30 hours of manual work

#

per month

#

or somthn

quiet void
#

6 hours weekly is fine

#

i cant rly judge amazon bullets tho

#

like

#

ur rly just vomitting terminology all over the reader

#

there's like a line of not getting too technical os that people without expertise can understand

#

and ur crossing that often

subtle sphinx
#

o

quiet void
#

like no recruiter understands any of this

image.png
#

or this , they might barely understand what an auth service is

image.png
#

nothing past that

#

and that doesn't mean dont include them

#

but they're SUCH a focus of each bullet

subtle sphinx
#

o

#

i think ill exclude them

quiet void
#

take more lines if you want just make it more readable and digestible

subtle sphinx
#

and put them on a separate bullet?

#

like tech stack: bullet point

quiet void
#

yeah you can put them on a separate bullet if you want

#

def woul do that

#

and reduce ur technical project to 1-2 bullets each

#

if the top one is a really huge one u can make it 3

#

add concepts at the bottom of skills

#

dump keywords there

subtle sphinx
#

okok

#

i just have one bullet point now

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

its a really big project tho

#

i have a rly good readme on my github

#

fat readme

#

too

quiet void
#

u expand on the things u want them to focuso n

#

if you have a project big enough feel free to

quiet void
karmic seal
#

i see

subtle sphinx
#

Developed an analytics dashboard by integrating real-time log data with automatic visuals, customer onboarding flow, and product performance, saving PMs 6 hours weekly

#

how's this

#

for the first bullet point for amazon

quiet void
#

not bad just make sure it doesnt waste any space

#

paste it in and see if it fits on one line

subtle sphinx
#

It fits 2 full lines

quiet void
#

bet

#

perfect then

subtle sphinx
#

So speak in non technicla terms?

#

Basically

quiet void
#

teag

#

yeah*

quiet void
#

but dont go insanely deep into it

#

there's a balance

#

you can be technical without requiring an extreme depth of knowledge to understand

#

my strat is generally

#

a) have a line that explains the point
b) go more in depth in other lines as necessary

#

@karmic seal

#

my respawn final is from

#

11:15 AM - 1:00 PM

#

😨

#

2 hours

karmic seal
karmic seal
quiet void
#

yeah i think it works best cus like

#

you really dont need it to sound technically impressive

#

your resume needs to make an impression

#

there's not a single technical line in any of my 3 exps

#

the most technical is talking about implementing a procedural map generation system in a game

subtle sphinx
#

Okok

#

Thank u boss

subtle sphinx
#

Like i used these technique so

#

Idk how else to fill 3 lines

#

Cause all im doing is image processing

still narwhal
#

wdym by tech stack at the bottom?

subtle sphinx
#

Last bullet point for tech stack

still narwhal
#

oh so should you add that on top your 3-4 bullet points or including

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

Oh

karmic seal
#

though, for each project, i include each tech stack to the right of the name of the project
exactly how jake's resume template has it laid out

subtle sphinx
#

What about for ur experiences i mean

karmic seal
#

it's the famous Google XYZ format

still narwhal
karmic seal
still narwhal
karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

what about the selecrted coursework?

#

do i get rid of that

karmic seal
#

i think it's good filler
it's basically another keyword dump

subtle sphinx
#

mine is like

#

made x by doing y, resulting in z

karmic seal
#

I know Google likes to see that you've taken the fundamental cs courses like data structures and algorithms

subtle sphinx
#

for the bullet points

#

i herad some stuff about both that

#

or flipping y and z

karmic seal
# subtle sphinx or flipping y and z

i think the difference between those two formats is not big enough to really mean anything
especially if ur bolding ur metrics/impact and tech stack, then recruiters will notice those things easily anyways when they look at the bullet point

subtle sphinx
#

okok

#

can i do like

#

made x by doing y, resultilng in z by using tech stack

karmic seal
#

yeah that's basically the Google xyz format

prime fox
#

bro what's your grad date? how are you not getting any call backs?

subtle sphinx
#

2025 grad date

karmic seal
prime fox

😭 ❤️

karmic seal
#

🤝

karmic seal
prime fox
#

👌🏼 👌🏼

subtle sphinx
#

wait so should i still use the tech stack bullet point at all?

#

probably not right

#

i'mt alking about ur resume from last yr

prime fox
#

My only critique beyond everything that's been said is maybe include location for the jobs as well?

subtle sphinx
#

maybe not last yr

karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

from 2 years ago

karmic seal
prime fox
#

may be something that's tripping up ATS's

#

not sure if it's important

#

Also using | between company name and position

#

should be fine

#

but some ATSs are really bad

subtle sphinx
#

@karmic seal

#

how's this now

karmic seal
#

looks good
i like how the first bullet is a summary of the project and it's not overly technical so it's friendly to recruiters
what do u think @quiet void ?

#

and it follows google's general xyz format

prime fox
#

bolding is controversial... I like to just bold languages/tech

#

even then some people complain 😅

still narwhal
#

but prob a stretch

prime fox
subtle sphinx
#

ive heard that b4 too

prime fox
#

I mean.... some of them don't know how to read

#

some

subtle sphinx
#

lol

#

imma bold

prime fox
#

Are you only cold applying to jobs?

#

anything from career fairs or connections?

#

that's the meta these days

still narwhal
#

brooo career fairs have gotta be the opposite of the meta these days

karmic seal
#

yeah tbh i think career fairs are a waste of time
at least from what i've heard

subtle sphinx
#

career fairs are so ass

prime fox
#

really?

#

LOOOL what the heck

#

it's like direct access to recruiters and managers

#

rizz them up and it's an instant interview

quiet void
quiet void
karmic seal
subtle sphinx
#

my school's better for like consulting and business ppl so most of the recruiters are for sales/consulting roles anyways

still narwhal
#

unless you add them on linkedin and make connecting with them a long term project

prime fox
#

well you need to get their email

#

and slide in

#

linkedin they will just finesse

still narwhal
#

do the career fairs you go to pull people in the back for insta-interviews?

#

im at uoft and never seen that before

prime fox
still narwhal
prime fox
#

But it's one of the best tracks to getting interviews

#
