What

#

:(

rare ore
#

how u got 2 page resume without an internship😭

small locust
#

IDK

#

can u help me

rare ore
#

very impressive resume though project wise

small locust
#

ty

rare ore
#
  1. keep it one page. no recruiter is going to look at all ur projects. they’ll look for three at most
small locust
#

ok

#

any ideas which ones i should keep/how many?

rare ore
#

you’re the one who worked on the projects, it should be yours to decide which ones look good on resume and which ones you value the most

undone meteor
#

yeah keep it 1 page

#

add a skills section

small locust
#

ok, i mean the most th most relevant ones first, but how many should i keep

undone meteor
#

remove interests

small locust
undone meteor
#

oh wait im tweaking mb

#

remove interests tho

small locust
rare ore
#

extracurricular-wise, i’d just have one sentence for each, they don’t add too much value

#

like just say ur a member of that club, don’t mention what you did unless its super important

undone meteor
#

u can have imapctful ECs

small locust
#

none of those r ECs, they r all hackathons

#

i just listed it under EC

rare ore
#

nvm was skimming they do look important

#

i’d say

#

keep 4-5 projects you value the most

small locust
#

Ok

#

should i even mention the others like in a single line or just completely leave them out?

rare ore
#

leave them out

small locust
#

ok

rare ore
#

you seem to have a jacked out github w all these projects, highlight them

#

but ur on good track

small locust
#

ok ty!

#

so the bullet points and format are all fine?

rare ore
#

#

#

urs do imo

small locust
