#
  1. project to top
  2. ur points are all kind of weak.

Ex. ur it internship is bad writing, most ur projects, except the puppeteer one is too meh / badly written.

Most of your stuff is basically, I magically moved numbers by 20%, i resolved some insignificant, thing so on

#

i wish u had even just basic crud projects be better than some the stuff

#

im saying projects to the top, just cause

#

ur actual experiences seem more weak

#

if ur experiences end up being stronger at the end

#

feel free to keep it at the top

#

ya know it was coming ^ refer to the link

#

for rewriting

#

basically u fall into the common mistake

#

sections

#

i write about

#

but really, u can just start with a "todo list" and add complexity there right? what is something u can create, read, update, delete from

#

an ex. is

#

i made somethign to read in my youtube playlist

#

download the transcriptions

#

organize them

#

and upload it to notion

#

so i could elastically search

#

yeah... sort of

#

so i connected a twilio api

#

anytime an email is received

#

to send messages to people

#

and then how would i scale that up etc

#

so like

#

yup

#

(or unethically) just lie if u know the foundations

#

and u can explain it

#

just dont lie

#

and be shit

#

omg

#

the amount of ppl who put shit

#

but cant say a word

#

is amazing

#

tbh u just need to be a code monkey imo

#

as a junior dev

#

and prove ur decent

#

*i guess an advanced code monkey lol

#

no, other than the example i already gave in the articles

#

maybe ill create an example experience one day

#

i used to have one from my mentee

#

i just didnt wanna dox them

#

i use to have it

#

but then i deleted it

#

yeah main thing is:

#
  1. Better projects
  2. Better writing about the "technical parts"
#

#2 is covered by article

#

on how to write better bulletpoints

#

on what u did

#

not every bulletpoints need to be like that

#

but just in general, have a trend

#

to where ur resume is "good enough"

#

to show ur a decent dev

#

cause when i read ur resume

#

ur first 3 experiences

#

idk what im supposed to get from u as a dev

#

u provide support, u teach, u resolve tickets

#

is essentially what i mainly got

#

but no proof of skills

#

u can always self teach

#

i was a writer in hs

#

who basically just self teached

#

myself projects

#
  • all my mentees
#

shit, but self teached

#

spammed projects

#

how they got their first internship

#

at bloomberg / jpmc to some even faangs

#

yup

#

of course

#

cant be in a catch 22

#

resumes is just barely looked at

#

it more about

#

making it passable

#

and then targeting consistent processes

#

(cause some companies are less / just pure lucky than others)

#

i dont get the question how u would leverage that?

#

u do junior year > get return offer, keep applying for other companies?

#

renege if u have to?

#

yeah? but after ur junior year is then senior year?

#

so ur applying for ng positions?

#

either way?

#

so what are u leverging

#

either way u want the return offer

#

as a backup

#

new grad

#

Yeah, i mean its basically:

  1. Junior year internship > get return offer
  2. hunt for ng roles, and if u get something good u renege
#

or if u fail then its

#
  1. junior year internship
  2. senior year internship
  3. post graduation in one year, if not international / on visa, do ng interviews again

#

is how it is, i studied for like 2 years at one point with no interviews

#

cause of covid

#

luckily had zon return offer

#

but basically junior year had zon internship, studied all summer, covid happened, no jobs, so i kept studying

#

till i graduated

#

and as i kept working

#
  • then got meta, google, so on
#

yeah

#

my mentee did the same

#

this past year

#

she just got meta

#
  • also ik ppl with no offers
#

kept studying

#

and landed something post graduation

#

within that one year frame

#

sometimes luck just how it plays out

#

just gotta be prepared

#

yea

#

u can send me

#

ur resume again

#

sometimes i dont always check this discord

#

no

#

but u can join my discord

#

paid subs get paid channel, but im more than happy

#

for free channels

#

to answers

#

i always answer on my discord so far

#

or i try to

#

(unless this holiday cause of long weekend)

#

in the table of content

#
