  • "Expected May 2025" in place of "May 2025"
  • Label projects as work, personal, or hackathon
  • Projects top to bottom in chronological order, unless your top project is very relevant/impressive

Other than these tweaks it's genuinely a great resume. Don't forget luck is a large factor -- if you're dooming right now please know your worth, you are obviously very capable. I'm waging you require sponsorship or you've sent sub 50 applications. Hello from a fellow prev. Cisconian!

FWIW Apple recruiter told me to put an objective section for the talent pool app.

# radiant dome How do mfs like u be getting no responses

so i got like five responses:

  1. completed final round and then they said they cancelled the position
  2. final round -> reject (even though i did really good and the EM praised me??)
  3. final round -> reject (this one was my fault)
    4)final round -> still waiting
  4. final round -> offer
#

none of these are like big tech companies though

#

but

#

ive applied to like every posting out there

#

when i search "application" in my gmail

#

theres like 700+ results
