More metrics
#freshman going for internships
obtuse quiver
As a freshman u have very good projects
U arent selling urself well tho. The impact is unclear on top of no metrics
Also i assume for wordplay proj u used some kind of cloud deployment, mention it
heres what id do right now if i were u
keep applying. its a numbers game
get realy good at quantifying customer and busines level impact. HR who is the first to view ur resume doesnt care about ur super techy metrics cause they literally dont know wtf ur talking about. All they care about is what kind of value do you bring to the business and the customer (scale, reduced costs, # users, etc)? so just gloss over the tech and go straight to the results; you can go super techy in your interview but NOT in your resume
clearly you have the skill to make projects that stand out among ur freshman peers. focus on making more complicated, innovative projects with scale to handle users, and are deployed. with ur current skill level, all of your projects should be highly scalable, deployed somewhere, user-centric and has a target market, and work with a high volume of data
- you can do a lot better than center and educational derivatives, clearly u have the skill
- brainfuck compiler may be technically advanced but ask urself this: are you applying for low level roles or just regular swe? if youre just applying for typical SWE jobs this project has 0 impact as it has nothing to do with business or customer value
- more industry relevant skills! As of now your most industry relevant skill is docker, but people want to see cloud experience (particularly aws but gcp and azure are okay) and working with databases
id also move your designer portfolio commission to expeirence section; dont shortchange your experience as it is most important. for now its perfectly okay to consider it as legit experience
remove (WIP) from research assistant role. and quantify it! the most important thing to sell in this resume is your research; you need numbers to quantify your impact and (if applicable) how this impact can benefit a company or its users
overall for a freshman its very impressive what you know, but dont stagnate on complexity or scale of projects just because u r above avg. your average cs shitter can make a better looking project than anything youve made in a few months so dont let them overtake u. take the time (starting now) to build better projects and improve ur resume. and apply for fall/spring internships too, its 10000% worth it to take off a semester to work at a good company
