Grill me on my resume and offer advice

[mystic phoenix]

Title. Trying to perfect this for summer 2025 internship applications. What can I improve on?

[mystic phoenix]

Anyone?

[reef tundra]

Solid resume imo - u followed xyz format and seem to know how to write them according to ur founding engineer experience. Id say for next cycle focus writing xyz for ur Siemens experience for good amount of chunk

Congrats on siemens they are very cool company

[mystic phoenix]

Thank you!

[mystic phoenix]

Do you recommend I change anything/remove for improvement?

[soft rock]

more detail in projects

definitely

[mystic phoenix]

I'm kinda out of ideas on what to put.

[soft rock]

more specifics. like for the first project, what data did u scrape. how did u do it. any other tech u used

what insights do u provide

how did u determie whats important

lots u could say abt how u did it

[mystic phoenix]

Is it worth doing it even if I go beyond 2 pages as a result?

[soft rock]

oh maybe not then

i think itd be better then to remove a project and go into more detail abt the other two

or maybe remove some points from the founding swe if u think u could

6 bullet points is a lot

(take all this advice with a grain of salt im not cracked lul)

btw what r u doing at siemens? just curious

[mystic phoenix]

like, what project am I focused on?

[soft rock]

yee. like what stuff u working on

[mystic phoenix]

pretty much whats in the bulletpoints + devops

[reef tundra]

Once u get down like "prestigious" company on ur resume and know how to use xyz bullets, it then only comes down to matching of tech stack and skills

If u want higher callback rate maybe adding project that has different tech stack and domain experience from ur work experience

[mystic phoenix]

Do you think its worth adding a math research project on the resume?

[reef tundra]

Depends on field u want to hear back from

If u just trying to go for full stack that aint gonna help cuz math is irrelevant

If u go something like ml or research field yea that may help

Tailor projects to match domain experience and tech stack that is not appeared in ur work experience

[mystic phoenix]

Even if this research has overlap with CS?

[reef tundra]

It comes down and depends to the job u are applying

Putting redundant information is not a good idea when u have lot of content to write about

If u have white space for sure u can put it in but i wouldnt squeeze it in unless its helpful for matching process

[mystic phoenix]

Okay, so unless I'm going into like quant or ml it isn't worth putting it on there?

[reef tundra]

Yea math aint got my way into my fields lol

[mystic phoenix]

I see, could I ask about some other changes to my resume? Specifically related to a change in my experience and project sections

[reef tundra]

Sure

[mystic phoenix]

I moved my community management bot work under my experience section (founding software engineer role), to my project section. I did it to reduce the amount of work underneath that specific role experience and to make my project section more impressive.

Do you think its optimal?

[reef tundra]

Is founding engineer thing an internship? Or more like club thing

I think its fine as it is rn. later on u would want to strongly group work experience with work experience and non work experience to non work experience

[mystic phoenix]

This is an actual startup.

[mystic phoenix]

I see

[reef tundra]

So community management was done during the startup?

[mystic phoenix]

The community management bot was an internal project within the startup, yes.

But I figured I'd fib a little and put it under projects instead

[reef tundra]

This is more of subjective takes so u can do whatever u want but my take is that

Experience tops everything and look most impressive

So id just put community management under the startup

[mystic phoenix]

I see.
