[2025 Grad] Would like feedback on resume

[glacial valley]

idk

your like really new grad with little exp

your project are....weird

who builds a 'ride sharing app' with react native and GCP? You do realize an app like that is far more complex then simply GCP. You need message queues for location data, google maps API for routing and mapping, a robust backend to handle events, GCP for deploying on k8, possibly CI/CD for development, redux for global state management on your react native app, a good database probably MongoDB for your high volume storage, user accounts etc. Ride sharing is not an easy problem to solve

why did u edit a html site used by 20k people? how does an html website even get this much traffic? Where is the link to this website?

@sonic umbra

also your experience overlaps?

you've got 2 yoe but you write 3 bullet points, that are pretty weak tbh.

im talking about george washington university. You wrote a browser automation script using selenium, okay, but what impact did that have on anything?

you wrote a python application which had impact, but i dont know what tech that python program used or what methods you implemented to do it

you were mentioned in a research paper....why?

ya imma be honest

you sound like a bitch with that passive tone and i dont want to hire somebody that talks passive

This internship experience demonstrates some valuable skills and accomplishments. Let's analyze it and consider how to improve the presentation:

Strengths:
1. Shows practical experience with web scraping and automation tools (BeautifulSoup, Selenium)
2. Demonstrates ability to handle large datasets (3MB+ and 2GB+)
3. Indicates contribution to academic research

Potential weaknesses:
1. The achievements are somewhat vague in terms of impact
2. The language used is relatively passive

To rewrite this with more confidence and impact, we could:

1. Use more active language
2. Quantify results where possible
3. Highlight the skills developed and their relevance

Here's a potential rewrite:

"Programming Intern, The George Washington University (November 2021 - May 2023)
• Engineered robust web scraping scripts using BeautifulSoup and Selenium, successfully collecting over 3MB of online review data
• Developed and implemented a Python program that increased data collection efficiency by 650x for GWU's Department of Accounting, enabling access to 2GB+ of critical short sale volume data
• Contributed to groundbreaking research presented at the Southern Economic Association 92nd Annual Conference, enhancing the department's academic standing"

This version:
- Uses more dynamic verbs (engineered, implemented)
- Emphasizes the scale and impact of the work
- Highlights the skills developed (web scraping, Python programming, data handling)
- Suggests the broader impact of the work (e.g., enhancing the department's academic standing)

Overall, this internship appears to have provided valuable experience in data collection, programming, and academic research support. The rewrite aims to present these achievements more confidently and impactfully.

i asked claude to summerize whats wrong, but i told u all this without it

i couldn't place on why i hated it for a while till it said you sound passive tone then im like oh ya thats the issue he writes like a kid telling his dad what he did at his day at school

also ik you got two other experiences but im too lazy to review them just follow the same advice for all of them then come back and ill check it

also this was told to me today by someone on my uni discord, and i vibed with it you might wanna follow it too. Make sure your linkedin is solid.

i feel like this is a common problem with interns. they are too afraid to take ownership of impact they have done. You don't realize the code you wrote saved the org 1000s of dollars and had a bigger impact then you imagined.
