rising soph hoping to get first internship - resume advice

dire thorn
#

LGTM! Not much feedback here

frank hare
#

dang if justin says it's good, then it must be pretty good lol

dire thorn
#

Can always chg small things here and there but thing ur resume is great for a sophmore

frank hare
#

looks good to me

dire thorn
#

Looks good to me

#

Yea honestly, maybe can use bit less jargon for first one, maybe chg a bullet point here and there bit more technical. But honestly if u kept as is, is great

#

I dont think ur issue is resume this point, prob more getting the interview and passing

frank hare
#

yeah

dire thorn
#

maybe remove certifications

#

get rid of experiences

#

tbh ur projects stand great themselves

#

Expand on ur project bullet points

#

Can add like a one bullet point each

#

If u just wanna fill space

#

increase font

#

or add a bullet point

#

or move experiences to bottom

#

and projects to top

#

Nah is fine

#

even qualitative measurement is fine

#

But yea

#

Yea the whole number thing matters much less than the tech / what u did / how u did it / why u did it

#

why? haha

#

its quite good for a sophmore. there are ppl who go their whole cs career without building even a backend

#

wym? ur already using fullstack tech

#

And i mean i literally tell ppl to build baby crud apps

#

like todo lists

#

and they get google

#

so it rlly doesnt matter

#

That was me, and tbf, I said the first two projects was good, the other ones are a bit basic

tribal ingot
#

Yes 😅

dire thorn
#

Rlly as long u can get the interview

#

resume isnt much of a blocker

#

i see ur point

#

I usually say just build a “simple fullstack crud”

#

so i guess to me is already anything at basic crud is fine, as long u spice it up a bit

#

and it isnt like password generator

#

No need

#

just apply in september

#

what does applying early do to u 😂

#

and nothing rlly tends to come out till september anywyas

#

can read timeline section

#

like?

#

Just curious

#

I see

#

I rlly wouldnt worry

#

Ive done this like last 4 years, anytime ppl see it come our early they just get ghosted. Just want for cscareers to actuallt see ppl !process phone interviews

#

no

#

sometimes i weite in my notion doc but for ex

#

meta have released early before

#

but they dont process till september

#

but my application got lost bc of that

#

so i had to reemail them

#

and my recruiter

#

Also u just kill ur study time

#

let’s say u do get an interview

#

are u rlly ready?

#

september is already quite early

#

and on mark for internships

#

Yes cause september is already quite on track with when they “really” start

#

and then october to dec

#

they begin oa / phone / finals

#

all the way through feb

#

shoot

#

Are u a citizen?

#

Just wondering

#

Ok

#

I’d personally create two apps tbh 😂. One for Junior / one for sophmore

#

Tbh if i had to choose one id choose junior

#

But id just split my email acc / address / resume one for sophmore one for junior

#

I think STEP is much more highly competitive, and while ocassionally ppl get it. I dont bank on it. vs even a sophmore applying as a intern under the normal google program ive heard back then vs their step

#

Just create two accounts to apply under

#

and to prevent ur accounts getting linked

#

use diff emails / addresses / resumes

#

Can use a nickname for one of them, and say oh that my preferred name but my legal name is xyz later

#

Or something

#

or just use the same name

#

doesnt matter

#

Main thing is prob email / address / resume hash

#

Yeah no worries

#

Junior makes sense

#

Join my discord through notion and join my beta

#

I literally started today

#

a paid group, but having ppl beta test for me for free
