Looking for Summer Internships, Not getting many Interviews

[ashen vessel]

You have too many simultaneous timelines going on in your experience and it’s making it really hard to understand what’s relevant here. Can you rework the sectioning to clearly distinguish your professional experience from other work?

Besides that, I wouldn’t bother adding 84.51 until you start because it’s not a strong enough name to warrant you including it when you haven’t started. For your professional work, be sure to highlight your most impactful work at top

You can (imo should) cut coursework and projects given that it doesn’t add anything to your resume. Your bolding is also weird, and I would focus on bolding relevant tech if that’s an option.

Your second bullets for projects 2 and 3 are wasteful, I’d cut them.

Got it, the bottom experience is just open source work so it is unpaid however I put it there in order to try and buff out my experiences more, so if anything I would remove them from that section if I were to change it. If I were to remove some of these things, what do you think I should replace them with?

For bolding, I bolded both metrics and like some techniques I used, so I can see how it would be confusing.

Thanks for the feedback

[ashen vessel]

I don’t think you should replace - if anything, you should be looking to cut down because your resume is too dense to parse quickly.

Bolding-wise, metrics already stand out (numbers stand out among letters), and your techniques don’t add any value in this unless you’re applying to roles where they’re explicitly looking for that (which I assume most won’t)

Ok got it, then for the confusing experience on the bottom, would you recommend me splitting it up in exp? I dont exactly want to do that because I feel like its a stretch to put it as an experience and they’re also all done through under the same org. Would you just recommend moving them to projects?

[ashen vessel]

Without knowing more about it (you have very little information about it there) I can't give you any suggestions regarding it lol

[cobalt kernel]

Its pretty much just a org under the school thats led by a couple of professors overseeing it. They let students host their own open source projects and sometime would have open source teams from other companies open their own project. Students can then join these projects and make contributions to them. Its also connected to a course that you can take for credit that grades you on how many contributions you have and some other things.

tldr: Open source org led by professors at my college that have students and some ppl from companies host projects for ppl to join.

Not sure what other context to add, but do you think something like this would be fine to add to exp? I think if it isn't, I will just add them to projects (tho I realize that projs don't give much resume value)

[ashen vessel]

If your open source project doesn’t have good success metrics (e.g., users, stars) or isn’t particularly novel, I wouldn’t bother including it

At the very least only the IBM open source project sticks out to me, but again, it’s not professional experience so I would not put it there

Like your projects you can easily make 1 bullet each with 1-2 lines to explain what u built/how it’s significant

A short blurb

gotcha tysm for your feedback, i'll send an updated resume here later :)

[ashen vessel]

Is this experience part of a club? I would move it to a separate leadership section to distinguish it from your professional experiences

I would still cut projects and concepts yes, particular where it seems misaligned with your general goals (the c++ one in particular). IMO your second bullet for tutorfi also just sounds like BS but it’s not particular novel so I would focus on why you built it if there’s a more general purpose reason for this project

[cobalt kernel]

first one was part of a class but we were tasked to find a client and solve some issues they have with an it solution, so i'm not sure where to put it if not in exp.

also, how would you recommend filling up the space if I were to cut? would it be expanding on the points on the project? usually the projects I work on are kinda just for fun or to learn a new technology so I was wondering what your thoughts were on that. thanks

@ashen vessel @real needle @upbeat beacon @next kelp thoughts on resume? (sorry if you don't like pings 🙏 )

[upbeat beacon]

sry i deleted it while i was making changes most of it is still the same from when jemin gave the advice except different font (i think it made it less cramped and more readable)
