Here is my current draft. I have a couple of quick questions that need answering:

  1. If I were to prepend each bullet point list with a quick summary of the experience, would that be efficient or a waste of time

  2. How is my Epitaph project section? I tried to summarize the important details but I'm uncertain if this is appropriate. Should I change anything from this?

Oh I guess you were really quick

#

Education; bs/ms are usually first, is: MS CS

#

Don’t summarize, just write better bullets

#

Did you write code at Mitre? Doesn’t read like it.

Of course I'm quick, I have to print these before the library closes

Using PyTorch and OpenAI, implemented a email sentiment analysis system.

#

Fine tuned model using xyz, improving sentiment accuracy by 30% from baseline.

Oh, this is just a chatgpt api. Nothing to do with any real AI tools

#

Ok, did you fine tune the assistant or prompts?

#

But fine:

#

Implemented Python-based OpenAI email sentiment analysis system, (maybe something about purpose)

#

If this project was started without any metrics, would it be appropriate to remove it from the resume?

Using Python and OpenAI API, implemented …

#

It’s ok to say; I wanted to use a popular API and build a system, I’m not an LLM expert

#

Just be prepared to answer something about everything on your resume. The worst are people who say: Oh, I did that in a class. I don’t remember it well.

#

(Especially when it’s the most recent project)

Heres a modified copy. Is my section on Mitre and epitaph okay?

#

for mitre, i'd put job title as software intern instead of the internal job title

fossil mulch
#

Would software engineering intern be better? Or is that overfluffing?

Thank you all for the quick response

stable reef
#

M.S. need a period after both or none at all

#

What about this bullet point for the sse rebuild portion: "drafted er diagram under guidance of product owner to model database schema"

#

Er is short for entity relationship, which is already elongated in the bullet point

#

Fuck it. This will be my final printed draft. Wish me luck, y'all

You go to war (interviews) with the army (resume) you’ve got, not the army (resume) you want

#

i'd rename "relevant experience" to "extracurricular experience" or something bc rn it's kinda unclear from the titles which one is formal jobs

#

what i said in the other thread too
