ngl if you're international, you're likely not going to make it

#

if you can, delay graduation to December and try to squeeze in a summer internship *if you're international

im local usa 💀 but still no response

#

tried that. this one is like 40th version of my resume sadge its doom

#

yea i think it does

agile mulch
#

ill be real this resume sucks. it feels like you randomly highlight words every once in a while

#

like why emphasize the rate at which homelessness has been increasing in San Jose?

quick berry
#

oh tf i didn't not see that

agile mulch
#

nah i dont think the resume is fine either. Besides the very poor bolding choices (which are inconsistent and dont make sense a lot of the time), why dont you go more in depth into how you used each technology?

#

if an interviewer bothers to read ur resume they likely wont care about what you achieved learning wise, they want to see what tech you used and how you used it and how it can help them

#

you have an instance of explaining how you used React and PHP and MySQL, but your project have so many more techs listed and not much of an explanation for what you did with these techs exactly

#

why would you put the part about Tenure ending prematurely for ur tutoring? why would an interviewer care? you could just leave that out

#

what did you teach these CS students? what are you good at? if you taught DSA, specify that you taught DSA. If it was python, specify that it was python. Someone reading your resume will think how did you come to the conclusion for a 45% increase in study speed?

#

idk too much about servers but you say "Worked on server projects like Nutanix and Palo Alto Networks", and those dont sound like projects to me, maybe more so companies or tools. You should focus more on specifying what you actually did in terms of tech used or work done instead of saying what you might have worked on

quick berry
#

🙏 right. so i should go more in depth use action verb and remove irrelevancy or shiny words. any other suggestion. cuz i think maybe the reason i m getting rejectionssss is due to my lack of prects

It feels like you bold words at random here

#

Like why is achieved and dietary boldened

#

I just saw that haha

Use your resume to brag about yourself not bring spotlight to social issues

#

I think if you fix your wording on your projects you’ll have a much better shot

#

Also Server SMT Specialist might be too complex for a recruiter to understand

#

As a title

quick berry
#

true

id recommend getting rid of redundancy or irrelevant / unhelpful info. Mention what you did, how you did it (what tech you used), and what it achieved. if the data is anecdotal, make it less obvious that its anecdotal (eg 45% increase in learning speed). You mention "created an innovative application software" which sounds like a string of buzzwords. is it really innovative? if you think so, keep the word there. but what does application software mean? is it just software, or an application?

#

think of what your recruiter can learn about you by reading your bullet points. they want to see skills, and afterwards specific things you achieved through your projects

#

imo your projects are fine, i have much shittier and less projects, you kinda just need to do a better job of communicating what these projects do

#

thanks also do you guys recommend me to delay my grad to sum24 in hope of getting intern by then? or should i just go in ng job fair market with this updated resume.

agile mulch
#

hmmm. i think if you have an internship on your resume it will make the job search significantly easier afterwards. Not easy, but easier

#

but getting internships is pretty hard too lowkey

#

if you have the opportunity to intern somewhere and get an RO, go for it. im currently considering delaying grad if i get a really cool internship

quick berry
#

Great thanks for extraordinary helpful feedbacks hugs

# quick berry Is it okay now bro? i explained how tech were used in the app and added one free...

Get rid of everything that is bolded inside bullet points, it just makes it less readable. Don't bold or italicize anything in a bullet point.

How did you improve understanding by 40%? is this 40% of people got higher grades? 40% of people said they understood it more?

Make sure your capitalization is correct. "java tutor", "production issues", "filtering system", "error analysis"

Be more descriptive. What production issues, how did you fix.

quick berry
#

great anymore corrections pls

river crag
#

did you go to college/

quick berry
#

yes but i didn't add that section in the screenshot

#

but i have education ng 24 links and portofolio. above in resume not here.

river crag
#

how long is your resume? cut to 1 page if you can

i would get rid of the achievements section, if you have a good gpa put it in your education section

if some of the achievements are part of your projects you can mention them there

quick berry
#

will do .were the bullet points ok? i mean like were they able to explain the project and so

river crag
#

i think the bullets are fine

agile mulch
#

if you dont have good ways of showing percentage progress on various bullet points dont include the percentage. eg the 40% thing with students as mentioned above. and yeah get rid of everything bolded

quick berry
#

yea i should remove % from that looks kinda unreal

agile mulch
#

id recommend getting things spelled or logic checked by chatgpt bc i dont feel like thoroughly going through every bullet, but you have mistakes like "Developed an e-commerce PHP and HTML for server side script," you developed an e-commerce what? the sentence doesnt make sense
