Honestly, not too bad, seems like you're doing fine experience wise
I would try to get more projects on there instead of leadership
@zinc perch even if you haven't done anything fleshed out
your manager should have layed out the details
try to generalize as much as possible
until you actually get some progress in
Unless you have no clue how you're using that particular framework/language
github yeah spacex no
lol
high rose
im cooked
meager belfry
lol
high rose
i work on production code because they still haven't prepared a project for me
is this a blessing I can't tell
meager belfry
ehh
depends on what you're looking for
yeah just generalize
you're not gonna be doing interviews till prob a lil later, so you'll be chill if they test you
I need fall 2024 š¦

how did u cop with j random startup
ur cracked
are u at top school
whats the sauce
valid goblet
autonomous rover project is meh
high rose
imagine we all spam them with swe resumes š
valid goblet
idk about spacex but in my experience i got past boring company but couldn't get past tesla
(out of elon companies)
i got past anduril too, not impossible
high rose
yale
valid goblet
granted i'm a grad not an intern
valid goblet
intern is easier to get past screenings for (at least with a bad resume)
valid goblet
c++ will definitely be important for embedded roles
IMO just looking at it this is solid for embedded
at least at this stage
slate carbon
Yeah we promise not to jump u
crimson matrix
bruh how yāall apply work and do lc
copper compass
lmao
u donāt need to unless u actually wanna learn something or find them fun
most projects on peopleās resumes are trivial bc thereās a youtube video or open source version of them and once u have exp u donāt need projects
valid goblet
yeah the vast majority of projects suck for new grad IMO
going to be frank
you can get away with the "tried and tested projects" for an internship (basically either something that you can follow a tutorial with or something that's been done a gajillion times) but it becomes harder as the bar gets higher
seems like a lot for STEP
considering it targets first and second years
i think STEP is more RNG than anything
you still have to get past the screening lol
i'm just saying people really think they are getting resume rejected bc of DEI when it's overblown IMO
it's more if they have two similar candidates where they might make the decision based on demographics
honestly i'd just keep experience and leadership combined
although i will honestly say the stuff from high school probably isn't really helping you
in that cast i'd probably find a way to hide the 2018 from there
case
much easier to churn out projects with chatgpt if you're desperate
although that said to truly impress the bar is definitely higher now
i would say if you can impress a recruiter with your project you've done well
because normally they don't care
coarse thorn
it'd be pretty hard to get any sizeable increase in callbacks with just a project i think since u already have github and spacex
but yea agree it would help w hm
valid goblet
having a project and/or open source does help to show that you have skills and aren't bsing
high rose
you can easily bs a project
valid goblet
complements the other stuff mostly
coarse thorn
i think smth that could help is maybe getting more bullets on the github exp as soon as u can?
since it's just 1 line but ik it's current so might be hard

interesting resume for a sophomore, keep it up and you cooking 8/10
crimson matrix
Did you apply before even getting into university?
Like that's actually crazy
You had all that as a freshman?
Ohhhhhhh I see yeah
I'm in a bad spot I'm a freshman but I'm entering college with junior standing so I only got maybe one internship cycle to apply so I was wondering what you put on your resume if you basically got no experience
high rose
so you're a prefrosh?
crimson matrix
Yeah

crimson matrix
I have like one project I can really put on a resume
high rose
okay put it on
valid goblet
I'm in a bad spot I'm a freshman but I'm entering college with junior standing s...
you're not in really any rush to leave if you don't want to
high rose
i don't really like to tell what people what to do exactly since idk the context of their life but you can prob delay graduation by a semester
now you have 2 internship cycles and a potential semester for off season and still graduate early
crimson matrix
Yeah but college is really expensive and I'm a bit orried about that
I was planning on maybe getting my masters
35K a year
high rose
where do you go
crimson matrix
University of Washington in state a swell bro
high rose
uw seattle?
high rose
how are you paying 35k a year
high rose
how much is your tuition and housing
valid goblet
intern over summer and then work a bit during the year
crimson matrix
My tuition is only like 12K I believe
valid goblet
heck honestly amazon has something called junior software engineer
16 hours a week during the year
40 during summer
high rose
My tuition is only like 12K I believe
okay yea get cheaper housing then lol
valid goblet
look into it
crimson matrix
heck honestly amazon has something called junior software engineer
I'm not amazon worthy just yet 
grinding out that leetcode tho
valid goblet
you dont need an amazing resume to crack amazon
show leadership and interest though
crimson matrix
I'd like to get research going into uni, based on your guy's experience, do you need a lot of knowledge for it?
oh wait, I was actually wondering how the interview process worked. after the resume screening and stuff, does it not matter anymore?
like as long as I luck my way through and pass all technicall interviews, it'll be fine?
high rose
i knew you were referring to her lol
crimson matrix
Okay I'm pretty fine on DSA
high rose
like as long as I luck my way through and pass all technicall interviews, it'll ...
you quite literally only need to luck your way through resume screen and hope you're not getting an LC hard
usually amazon questions should be pretty easy though i thibk
crimson matrix
tthat's good to hear
Are you from UW
you seem to know a lot of people there
ah
high rose
i mean they're at github
valid goblet
amazon is luck i've heard of people getting shit as easy as two sum but i've heard others getting leetcode hards
high rose
bound to meet kids from top cs school
high rose

one dude on here got asked some coding concepts stuff or whatever
not even LC lol
so dependent on interviewer but they're not really in the business of making your life hard
valid goblet
i've def seen people get leetcode hards for amazon during technical though
maybe not for internship but NG def yes
high rose
lowkey jealous of kids who can graduate in 2 years
in state credits transfer goes crazy
crimson matrix
Yeah, if you knew what you wanted to do like beforehand
Did you not?
I assumed you locked in CS years before entering uni
Ah so basically a year beforehand
You've been programming a year beforehand right?
To be honest, I applied for a neuroscience degree to do premed but I got placed into CS 
I actually wanted to do research in computational neuroscience or something similar so I thought cs was cool at the time of applying
high rose
To be honest, I applied for a neuroscience degree to do premed but I got placed ...
huh so neuroscience is more competitive than cs at uw seattle?
i heard neuroscience is pretty competitive but like not this competitive lol

how did bro bagged internships at github and spaceX?š
bold berry
none of them..im cooked

small question but how did you get your spacing between lines of the same bullet point to be the same as the spacing between bullet points?
my resume always has lines of the same bullet point closer together than lines of different bullet points
shut breach
U have a lot of things going on
that say nothing
Like ur first two is ongoing
id get rid of an āupcoming internship tbhā
ur github one is impressive but still ongoing so bulletpoint is basically saying nothing
ur research one?? similar thing like ur saying currently researching
leadership doesnt say anything about how / why / technical abilities
same thing with projects
id read the resume section in my guide
Ur tldr problem is:
- too many ongoing things on ur resume
- no reflection of things u did / what u did / how u did / why u did it
- U say tech stuff, and say like āsimplified access to databaseā but not why / how / the challenges
yeah, or if its ongoing at least add what uve done so far.
And expand on the other stuff. Like u sort of just write:
Created backend endpoints for ex. for ur research
then put currently devising
so u basically only have one real bulletpoint telling me anything
but u put a jargon protocol for that single bullet point
Use less jargon at least, and put the challenges encountered
resume section can see very basic projects
can still write an okay amt
I think try to explain this to ur mom / dad sort of feeling. xD
bc that rlly is what a resume js
like explain to friends / family what u do
And assume they have a bit of technical bg
Like a fellow student
It just my opinion to make it easy for ppl
cause I had freshmens i was teaching
writing a crud app
so its just a rlly easy way
to give ppl a basic framework
that hopefully just passes screening and improve from there
otherwise ppl end up writing a bunch of nonsense that says nothing
Just say it in a simple way
Like used a custom protocol in order to do xyz
Or used a protocol to communicate xyz
Like u dont rlly need to say it unless it rlly is well known
And impressive
or u expand on it
also personally i like to put tech as a separate bulletpoint
just to make it so i dont need to cram keywords tech everywhere
I can just say built a Ui vs built a UI with react
I mean is normal too. If it rlly is u just got nothing else to say
good reasons to add projects
my first resume was bad
but it was just all projexts
but it got me going
to where i am now / also other ppl i taught did the same
tbh if it not related to swe, and just purely ee, id remove it
but that just me
like id rather swap it out for relevant projects
and if u dont have any i think more of a sign to get projects
however u choose to do it
on the resume
honestly ur old resume is better
xD
To me
much to improve
but more inline to where u could improve the writing
add on github to the top, and it prob be okay
with some rewrites
following the bulletpoint advice from the guide

Nice

One nitpick, I would use commas in big numbers e.g. 60,000 instead of 60000
heady brook
when you list out the "startup" as an exp do u just put the company name
or do u put smthng to signify that it was a startup
heady brook
So what do u do differently if ur listing a startup
Cuz Iām confused why ppl mention startup when anonymizing their resume instead of Company 1 Company 2 etc

good thing working with startup is you can fake saying anything you want like "Developed and implemented a machine learning algorithm that increased prediction accuracy by 500% for xxx" because they can't find this company in background check
