Can you see if there is a CS club at your school? Join that
Now is the time to discover what field of CS you like and perhaps create projects to demonstrate your skills in those
Just keep learning everyday
lunar prairie
I already kinda know I wanna get into systems work and I’ve been talking to my profs and I’m gonna try to join as a research intern next year
distant estuary
Cause if ur resume is this short, i think u are still in a learning phase, trust the process
lunar prairie
I think there is one? But my uni’s clubs are really disorganized ngl
I’m in my women in cs club
distant estuary
I think there is one? But my uni’s clubs are really disorganized ngl
I encourage u to go for it, it really helped me stand out at least. Like it shows initiative and leadership if you take a president role
Ah I see
You could put that as exp
lunar prairie
Well I just joined pretty recently I’ve yet to go to a meeting lmao 💀
lunar prairie
Yeah definitely I just gotta make the time to go to the meetings
My schedule is a little tight sometimes
lunar prairie
I’m also in math club but I haven’t put that on there yet. Last time I updated this was maybe a month ago? Just been doing classwork recently so not much to update
fossil apex
in your case, i would recommend cold emailing local companies / startups in your area
fossil apex
i did that for a good number of small companies and with some luck, landed one at a startup that is not a unicorn
this was a while back tho

Good idea ngl it hadn’t occurred to me
fossil apex
def incorporate the cs club change that alan said
lunar prairie
The only benefit of my job rn is that it’s above minimum wage. It sucks
My boss hasn’t given me a task in 2 months 💀
fossil apex
tbh the first rule of resumes is exaggeration
obv dont lie but u have to beef up the facts a little
lunar prairie
Yuh
fossil apex
if u worked on spreadsheets u gotta make it sound more interesting per say
lunar prairie
I see I see
fossil apex
also have u done any projects or have any planned?
lunar prairie
Like instead of spreadsheet say database or smthn
I’m trying to find the time to make a project
I’m doing nand2tetris inbeteeen schoolwork rn
I have done schoolwork but I didn’t think it was rly stuff I’d put on the resume
fossil apex
Like instead of spreadsheet say database or smthn
yeah like this is just an example but "Used Excel to manage data for X vendors... etc"
lunar prairie
It’s like homework assignments where you write functions to solve one problem
lunar prairie
yeah like this is just an example but "Used Excel to manage data for X vendors.....
Funnily enough I didn’t even use excel 💀 we used smartsheets lol
fossil apex
first step is probably to hit up a few tutorials on yt and do some basic todolist type projects that u can then diversify yeah
yeah like if u put in the cs club experience + the one u have along with 2-3 projects, your resume suddenly looks more filled
after that cold emailing goes a long way
lunar prairie
I see I see thank you
I’ve been meaning to get some projects in I just get a little busy unfortunately
Plus I’m still deciding on my career path cause I’m leaning towards PhD over industry
fossil apex
yeah projects are hard to finish, i have one that ive half finished for the past 6 months but just try to bang it out in a weekend at a hackathon or smth
fossil apex
Plus I’m still deciding on my career path cause I’m leaning towards PhD over ind...
oh i see then maybe you should look into research
fossil apex
honestly dont have too much exp with the research side
lunar prairie
oh i see then maybe you should look into research
Yeah I have been, I’ve been talking with my OS professor about joining his research team as an intern next year (still soph so it’s too early rn). He works in like fault tolerant systems
fossil apex
oh yeah that would do wonders for ur resume fs
lunar prairie
But yk I also wanna get some industry experience, in case I end up not getting into PhD programs or my priorities change sometime in the future
fossil apex
i see i see, its tough to juggle both imo, but i dont have enough experience in research to comment
lunar prairie
Yeah I mostly just wanna dip my toes into industry, see if I like it
That’s how I got into CS in the first place, took AP CS my senior year of HS
lunar prairie
What’s mlh?
fossil apex
major league hacking
lunar prairie
Oh shi sounds interesting
fossil apex
yeah look it up, i think u get to work with companies on a project and theyre kinder to beginners than most places
its not really paid tbf but still i think us citizens work with the DoD or smth
lunar prairie
Oh interesting I’ll look it up tomorrow
Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely spice up my resume
Oh I forgot to mention I’m also in math club
Worth putting it on there?
Oh wait I might have mentioned that
fossil apex
yeah better than nothing
lunar prairie
It’s rly late here lol
lunar prairie
Yeah I didn’t know about how important these kinds of things were my freshman year
Basically went into a CS major with no knowledge at all 
fossil apex
sums up a good amount of cs majors tbf
oh ur in 2nd year
u still have a lot of time
im also in 2nd year so i dont think its too late yet
lunar prairie
Yeah
Awesome
Joining CS servers both let me know what to do but also it gave me some unrealistic expectations for myself lmao
Just remembered I applied to an REU for the summer… hope I can get that it’d be a nice af thing for my resume
fossil apex
lmao ik people making $50 an hr who still dont think theyve made it
comparison is indeed the thief of joy
whats an reu?
lunar prairie
Research experiences for undergraduates
8-9 week paid program, you go and do research at a uni somewhere in the country
My chosen one is a wave sensing thing at Florida Atlantic
If I get it that’s my summer, otherwise it’s project grinding
lunar prairie
sounds cooler than doing QA at a random company to me tbh
Yeah but they’re pretty competitive so the odds are pretty stacked against my favor sadly
But y’know. I applied for a reason 🤞
Rn I’m just kind of in a career crisis because pursuing a doctorate is a pretty long standing passion of mine. However industry pays a shitload and I also enjoy just writing a lot of code
As much as I want to not care abt the money… I care about it a lot 💀 I like money
storm panther
youre going places girl
