Please roast my resume 2025 grad

[sacred relic]

Mostly interested in data engineering and distributed systems

[heavy ridge]

Looks pretty good to me

Just a few things i would change:
-put skills at bottom
-for each experience, switch the place of the role title and company name, that way the company name is more prominent which will be especially beneficial if it's a brand name

[sacred relic]

They are def recognizable so ill do that

thanks for help

[heavy ridge]

Sure

oh also, add a concepts subsection under the skills section
apparently it helps boost callback rate
here's an example of one:

[low glen]

I might be tripping but it looks like your margins are different on both sides

[sacred relic]

Thats just cuz i took a pic of it an cropped it weird

margins are normal in the pdf of it

[sacred relic]

Sounds good. But tbh i def cant add that many things to it so im gonna have to put some things that im not the best in

[low glen]

makes sense

I see you have react on resume but you might as well but HTML and CSS if it is in requirements

[sacred relic]

Thought i had those yeah thanks

Out of 10 what would a persons skills need to be in something to include it in a resume skill?

[low glen]

you need to be more advanced than watching a 100 second fireship video

but you can just list things in order of how good you are, and if it is brought up during interviews you can say you are currently learning more about it

idt anyone would make a big deal out of it but I'm not sure

[sacred relic]

Yeah cuz ik a lot of people who just cap on everything on their resume

[low glen]

honestly it might be possible to get away with that at some companies cause they don't really test for dev skills and just do lc type interviews

[sacred relic]

Yeah true

[low glen]

but you have good experience so there is no reason for you to do that

[sacred relic]

For the skills should i put them below the projects?

[sacred relic]

For the roles that I want in distrubuted systems and data engineering i think the experience is fine

[low glen]

I've seen people debate about this online. Skills being up top lets recruiters quickly check keywords but since you have past internships you could probably put it at the bottom.

I don't think it will matter too much

[sacred relic]

Yeah also im debating either putting another project in my resume and remove the student it consultant job or leave that job

[low glen]

everyone says experience over projects but it's kind of a toss up here

what project were you thinking

[sacred relic]

A Spam detection system

Or an operating system that i made in one of my classes from scratch

[low glen]

the spam detection one might actually be good for data engineering roles

[sacred relic]

The one issue I have with that one is posting it on github cuz one guy from college copied it and then i got an email from a prof about it

so im scared to post it again

[low glen]

I think your past internship brand names will probably be way more important for recruiters so you can't go wrong with any of the options.

[sacred relic]

I think depending on the role ill just switch out the projects tbh

[low glen]

yeah that's smart

[low glen]

you can make a repo where you say the project code is private but you can add screenshots and info about functionality

nobody was about to actually read through all the code anyway

[sacred relic]

yeah true
