Be nice!

Try to reduce it to one page if possible.
You can use overleaf templates.

#

exactly that^

#

did you have any internships?

latent plover
#

you should definitely delete and repost, your censoring didnt do anything

clever compass
#

I censored my number and email. Idc about the rest

latent plover
#

no like

#

you can copy paste it by highlighting under the censoring

clever compass
serene crystal
#

the bullet points you wrote for your projects are way too long, try to summarize or break it down into several points

clever compass
#

How do I properly censor

serene crystal
#

any practical exp you might have in your uni (rso experience, assistantships etc), include those

clever compass
#

I don’t

serene crystal
clever compass
#

I literally have nothing

serene crystal
#

My school sucks, they have nothing

serene crystal
#

keep mass applying to internships

clever compass
#

I’ve been applying to summer internships but I need to apply harder though

serene crystal
#

there is still time

clever compass
#

I’m gonna spam people on LinkedIn to get referrals

serene crystal
#

yes esp alumni

latent plover
#

you can also look for research, use your bio exp + cs exp as a way to get in and do some data analysis or programming or something in a lab

Use jake’s resume template on overleaf, condense it down to one page, break project paragraphs down to 3-4 single line bullet points ideally with impact metrics. Theres more but start with that rn

#

you can look at other people's resumes as a guide too

clever compass
#

How about now

#

that looks much better. coursework and skills should be below education (in that order). you can add some more bullet points about each project explaining the impact (make sure the points are all one line long). try to get an internship/part time role on your resume asap

#

I ran out of inmail credits

#

some demos of the projects could be nice, otherwise they are just so vague its hard to tell what went into them

clever compass
#

How do I put demos in a resume though

lime rapids
#

hyperlinks

#

link to a video, a github, gitlab

clever compass
#

I put my GitHub

lime rapids
#

link a demo to the project as well because if it takes someone more than 1 click to find it they likely wont bother

#

for projects, maybe focus on a few of them and try to make them fullstack instead of using a singular different language for each of them

#

like a mysql database without an interactive component might be harder to impress interviewers than adding a database to your social media app e.g.

lime rapids
#

project 3 and 4 i'd take out

#

on the other hand, if you can get an order management system deployed at a local business

#

thats not bad

raw kayak
#

easiest part time experience is to make a website for some random student organization

#

gonna be much harder to convince external businesses to let you freelance for them after you graduate school, but while ur in school you can hit up some ppl and be like yeah im good at web dev and theyd be more likely to let you do ur thing

I’ve built a bunch of small websites and iOS apps but I don’t want to put everything in there.
