Cut down to 1 liners

Do more personal projects

#

And probably change the title of “campus involvement” to something like “professional development” or “leadership”

#

And ngl… lie about some experiences

#

not sure about lying but will try to for more projects

#

which language and technology should I focus on to make a project with that would improve my general resume

If you're looking for internships, you need to apply early - you most likely will not get a lot of the more tech-heavy companies, but you can easily land others like banks and smaller non-tech/older tech (IBM, Oracle), which is all you need. You have good enough background to land interviews

Here's my general feedback:

  • Remove summary, it adds nothing here
  • Remove start date for uni
  • Idk how I feel about your experience being out of chronological order (I would bias towards it), but in this case, if you're writing a book about AI/ML, you should have projects/experience to back that up - it's very off-putting as-is. I would consider putting the book in community involvement / projects
  • Remove/reduce redundant bullets and keep ALL bullets no longer than 2 lines
  • I'd revisit your project bullets and consider writing it for only one language - it's a bit unusual to do rewrites to/from similar languages with no evident gain
  • In skills, remove programs
  • Also remove foreign languages unless you're applying to a turkish speaking role

Thank you very much for this deep feedback.

The book itself is a project of experienced people in the industry. I was in it to write the redundant examples of similar code etc.
