Resume for interviews at Google, Meta, Bloomberg, DoorDash, Duolingo, HubSpot, and more

[thorn heath]

T65 University

Want to give back to this community that helped me get here ❤️

Hopefully this helps someone. Please don't DM for resume advice, my best advice is this: copy my resume exactly, including how I write bullets.

I followed this advice myself. I didn't come up with this resume format or how to write bullets like these myself, I mimicked it from someone else's resume (who is 100x more cracked than me).

I'm using Jake's Resume: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs

Copy paste this in the font section of the LaTeX file for the font I'm using:

\usepackage{lmodern}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

I also played around with font size for everything to make it perfect, would be a pain to put that here, just experiment it yourself.

You’re the goat man thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[waxen drift]

truly a goat 🙌🏾

[plucky wyvern]

goat man, thanks bro

[wicked mica]

thank you john

[harsh rain]

Thank you !

[rustic obsidian]

orz…

jake’s resume

[shrewd pagoda]

Orz, do you actually write us citizen on top of ur resume or is it just for our information?

[rustic obsidian]

its useful

i also do it

especially if ur name sounds like you could potentially be a FOB

[shrewd pagoda]

Oh im not citizen im just curious 😭😭

I wish i could

[woeful fjord]

damn he called u a fob bro are u gonna take that

[thorn heath]

u inspired me big bro

after all ur the person i copied/mimicked 💀

[raven mesa]

Icl

Ur name out fobs most fobs

[rustic obsidian]

my name is super short thoguh

and not like some long south indian shit

[raven mesa]

thats tru thats true

but i rarely see insane ahh names on li

[torpid arrow]

damn wtf

does that mean minimal bullets are better

or is it just cause the company prestige

[woeful fjord]

curious about the companies

i feel like that has the biggest impact

[torpid arrow]

^

[rustic obsidian]

one of them has boomer prestige

the f50 finance

but it’s not very well known for tech

[woeful fjord]

maybe thats why

[chilly abyss]

did you not keep location anywhere ?

[thorn heath]

no locations

[warm magnet]

do you hyperlink ur projects?

[thorn heath]

yes but idt it matters

[little hull]

Do you not include like leadership positions or activities like clubs and so on?

[wary kestrel]

this is a great resume, fits so many things in without being overbearing to read through

[torpid arrow]

can you elaborate?

[wary kestrel]

i feel like a lot of resumes here have a common issue, being that its not structured in a way that gets people interested at first glance

when recruiters have hundreds of resumes to go through, you gotta have a easy to parse resume

otherwise ur resumes gonna get trashed

[terse garden]

.

[wary kestrel]

but yeah imo literally just copy the structure of this resume

i can tell there was tons of work and research that went into crafting it

im gonna save it too lol

[torpid arrow]

hmm interesting

I guess the bullets are the classic example of "less is more"

I was always too concerned about bare bones bullets but maybe its better

[wary kestrel]

i was just about to say that

this is absolutely true imo

[torpid arrow]

maybe that was my issue

[valid mauve]

me too 😭

i followed the level 5 strategy of making a bullet point which is

1. what did i do
2. how did i do it?
3. what tools did i use?
4. what method did i follow
5. what was the result

[torpid arrow]

This is what I followed too but I think OP only used 1, 3, and 5

unless I’m crazy

then idk

[valid mauve]

he has a few level 5s one of them is this one:
Decreased search time 65% by creating an in-memory vector database in Go with quantization and HNSW.

it's just compacted compared to my two liners ig

so i guess instead of yapping like this (one of mine):
Implemented a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and Docker, following containerized workflows and CI/CD practices to ensure consistent, automated deployments, reducing deployment time by 80%.

i can do this:
Reduced deployment time 80% by implementing a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and Docker using containerized workflows.

[torpid arrow]

Yeah

I wonder if the font also helps since it’s very clean and cut

[valid mauve]

i'm not too sure actually

[torpid arrow]

idk it just feels so easy to read for me lol

Which might also help recruiters pick out info

[valid mauve]

fr i like it too i'm not too fond of times new roman but if it works it works ig

something i'd try is calibri

[torpid arrow]

time to start applying to jobs with two resumes

testing time

[valid mauve]

haha good luck i'm gonna decrease a few of my lines and try again as well 🙂

[torpid arrow]

u 2 king

[torpid arrow]

@thorn heath 2 quick questions

1. Is there a rzn u didnt include any leadership positions?
2. Did u tailor resume at all when applying?

[thorn heath]

1. useless for resume when internships/research + good projects easily overshadow. i talk about leadership positions extensively in behavioral interviews
2. no

[thorn heath]

estimated ~50 hrs unironically. went through probably 30 revisions to land on this? every line is something i objecitvely feel like i cannot improve in any way. only at that point did i stop and start applying.

youre also very spot on with it being structured in an enticing way. i tell a story about my entire experience on every first line. + very nice and easy to read = recipe for success

everyone forgets that after you clear ats, a real human does look at your resume.

[woeful fjord]

How did you come up with the metrics? Was there actually numbers that you found or u just pulled numbers lol

[wary kestrel]

I believe him, if these were ~1-1.5 hour sessions each revision (which is about as much time I spent on mine as well and it still ended up nowhere near as good as theirs lol)

[woeful fjord]

How would you explain it

[warm magnet]

Damn that’s actually clever, I always included shit ton of extracurricular and made the readability so shit

[rancid summit]

I just google how some metrics are calculated and say smth along those lines so it sounds legit

Works like 9/10 times

[thorn heath]

No one asks anyway

Ive only ever been asked ab my metrics in one interview

[woeful fjord]

And how’d you respond lmao

Fr

[thorn heath]

But on avg no one asks bc its pointless and doesnt actually tell you anything about a candidate

[woeful fjord]

What’s the benefit of putting it on resume then? Does it look good for non technical resume screen

[thorn heath]

I only got asked by amazon so it checks out

[thorn heath]

recruiters want it

yes

[woeful fjord]

Ic

[torpid arrow]

they think u do important work

but its also relative so nobody actually bothers asking deeper about #'s

yuh

[valid mauve]

yea metrics u usually gotta bs them because hr nut over them lmao

[main needle]

@thorn heath did you apply with different resume styles or bullets to see what stuck? I feel like mine is pretty good and i have a good summer, but planning for ng and considering doing that

[thorn heath]

i think if things are working for you theres no need to change it

but also no i did not apply with diff style/bullet except last year but my resume was 100x worse then so its like not even able to be accurately measured

[main needle]

that is fair, idk if "working" is the correct word its a weird situation

[main needle]

kind of where i stand as well

[thorn heath]

i think theres multiple ways to make a killer resume this is just what worked for me and hopefully might work for others

[waxen pumice]

what font is the name btw? thx

[valid mauve]

it’s in the post at the bottom before the picture

just copy and paste those settings on top of latex and it should affect it

[woeful fjord]

Any reason for changing the font? @thorn heath

[thorn heath]

its the most beautiful font ive yet to see

[vast torrent]

@thorn heath how come you don't have locations for your experiences? or did u just remove them for this

[thorn heath]

i dont use locations. how does location tell anyone anything about your capabilities lmao?

[vast torrent]

no clue but all other resumes have em

[frank shale]

@thorn heath do you think 1 line bullet point is better? Or does it rlly matter?

[thorn heath]

1 liners make your resume very readable which is very important imo. anything works as long as its peak readable.

[frank shale]

Do you think is it worth bolding keywords? Also, i feel like 1 liners are only enough for me to show what project I did and what tool i used and sometimes not enough for impact. But 1 liners def make it easier to read

[woeful fjord]

yeah curious why you dont bold keywords?

[thorn heath]

its ugly af

and its only needed to bold things when ur shit is hella unreadable

[thorn heath]

its defo possible you just need to think about how to structure a sentence for like an hour straight

its annoying but its worth the time & effort in the end

[waxen pumice]

is the "accomplished x, measured by y, through z" for every line not the meta anymore

everytime someone tells me to put that for every point but it gets too wordy

[thorn heath]

Idfk

This is my recipe for success

Theres likely multiple recipes for success

Im not saying this resume is peak or anything from an objective standpoint (subjectively it is peak) but it could also just be pure luck. But either way I wouldve loved if someone showed me this 2 years ago and I just avoided all the struggle, thats my main goal with posting this

@waxen pumice

[little hull]

I know you mentioned this was based off another person's resume, but like what was your process in refining it?

Like did you use the exact template or get recruiters to read over it, etc

[chilly abyss]

how do I test if a new resume works without losing opportunities ? Use multiple emails ?

[thorn heath]

exact template

[torpid arrow]

This is what I was worried about too ngl

[thorn heath]

If yall dont trust it dont use it idk what to tell you guys 😂

[torpid arrow]

nah it’s not that I don’t trust you

it’s that I don’t trust myself to write good enough bullets for it to work

LMAO

lowkey I might just try the 2 email thing

idk if that’s actually allowed tho

[woeful fjord]

What’s that

[torpid arrow]

Different email for different resumes

[gritty forge]

its controversial, some say its helps cuz the recruiters like it others say it seems very sus to have metrics for everything u did at a company. don't take anybody's word as gospel about metrics

[rustic obsidian]

u can try a/b testing but ur applications are probably going to get merged nayways

[rustic obsidian]

if u want the other resume or the LaTeX template i can send, lmk

[woeful fjord]

Could u share the latex template

[royal marlin]

Could you also send, editing latex template is so annoying

[warm magnet]

could you pls share it to me as well?

[little hull]

Yeah would be great if you could send

[ember halo]

itd be great if you could send it 🙏

[glass crescent]

could you send it to me as well please?🙏

[royal marlin]

did anyone get the latex

[rustic obsidian]

my bad i’ll send in a bit

was busy today

[torpid arrow]

you should send it here for all of us again

[woeful fjord]

^

[exotic ruin]

did bro send🙏

[rustic obsidian]

https://www.overleaf.com/read/gsmqpbnmqvdz#78f5a2

this one's slightly different but it's what i use and it's what it's based on i think

kind of a doxx but im too lazy to dm everyone

@exotic ruin @woeful fjord @torpid arrow @royal marlin

@minor grove @glass crescent @ember halo @little hull @warm magnet

[woeful fjord]

Ty

[torpid arrow]

What a sexy beast

[true belfry]

Is there a reason you didn't put your website?

@rustic obsidian

Also if we're still in 2nd year of college should we put skills over education?

Especially if T40

[true belfry]

how did u hyperlink them, just on the place u put <project>?

[rustic obsidian]

education always goes first if intern or new grad

[thorn heath]

project title. also no one cares or checks anyway

[rustic obsidian]

don’t have one lol

need to make one

[true belfry]

oh ok lol

[true belfry]

thanks makes sense

[true belfry]

are you going to publish your resume style 😭

I want to adapt my jake's resume template to be similar

[true belfry]

also for this don't people say put skills on top then education -> experiences -> projects?

or is that not recommended

@thorn heath

[gritty forge]

The most popular advice is to put education first skills last for new grad/intern and vice versa for when u have exp

[thorn heath]

never skills on top

skills section is legit just for spamming for high ats score

notice how braindead spammy mine is lmao

its like a literal wall of text

its the only part of the resume not very nice and readable

its not meant to be read LOL

[vital laurel]

@thorn heath have you ever been asked interview to walk thru your past projects code in GitHub

[thorn heath]

no

[raven mesa]

lowk doxxed u but its wtv

[waxen pumice]

yo for the linkedin and github do u put the full link?

on the resume

[thorn heath]

ya

[true belfry]

@bright silo

Hi

[glass chasm]

Does having that font instead of the times new roman default make it easier for resume readers to scan through your resume from your experience?

[rustic obsidian]

there’s no way to know but it’s probably easier for recruiters to read

it doesn’t change anything for ATS

[bright scaffold]

Whats T65

[torpid arrow]

Top 65 CS school (based on US news ranking im assuming)

[bright scaffold]

ok

[wanton fjord]

would you have an anonymized latex template of your edited version with font changes and etc?

[fallow quest]

I have been working to copy this resume. Basically, just change the font size to 12 and make the header with your name a serif font family. You can Google how to do both. And copy and paste the fonts he said to, of course.

The rest should be just typing up your resume in the LaTeX template

[burnt ruin]

This was for new grad?

Gives me hope 🙏

[naive trellis]

how do you prevent it from going to 2 pages with font size 12?

[fallow quest]

Reduce the amount of content in the resume

No, you just change the default font size to 12. The title and headings are larger than that

No need to change the size of those

[fallow quest]

Nope. Sorry

[vocal current]

does a 12 point font actually make that much of a difference?

it does require changing the content you show quite a bit though

[vocal current]

did you change any of the margins/section spacing or nah

[fallow quest]

No. I only pasted in the fonts recommended, changed the default font 12, and made the name header serif

If you already have a Jake's resume that fits, I wouldn't bother with changing the font one point. That isn't going to get you a job at Meta. I didn't have a resume like this though, so I decided to copy his format exactly like he suggested.

[wanton fjord]

do you guys use Ai to construct resume bullet points? I cant seem to find a good one for the "less is more" type of bullet points

[torpid arrow]

i mean, its just "i made x using y technologies, leading to a z% impact"

[rustic obsidian]

i have a very similar template, remind me in a bit and i’ll send it

actually i prolly have the link

https://www.overleaf.com/read/gsmqpbnmqvdz#78f5a2

nah not really

don’t see a need

[elder thicket]

Can this resume be re-used?

[ashen topaz]

.

[boreal rapids]

This is literally how my resumes structured. I'm from a T10 school too. Took me 6 months after graduation to find a job and it was from networking (so not even applying lol)

No location on experiences is very interesting tho. Will try that out next time i go lookin'

[floral stump]

I wonder this too.

[boreal rapids]

Yeah three

[boreal rapids]

I have dms enabled. Feel free

[woeful fjord]

Irrelevant

What’s the point of it

[lyric karma]

Can I add u to

[lyric karma]

🤷‍♂️

[boreal rapids]

Now that i think of it, the only reason i add location to them is because other people do it and we're "supposed to"

[boreal rapids]

Anybody can DM me for any reason

[lyric karma]

I can’t🙁

[oblique zenith]

Do you guys think a resume being too wordy is a problem?

[torpid arrow]

Yes

[tawdry vault]

I might not be cooked

[tawdry vault]

I have similar roles + projects

Except the fortune 50

[floral stump]

Yes. Yo made an excellent point about it.

[lunar haven]

who's Yo?

[edgy heart]

Gurt:

[wicked mica]

yo

[woeful fjord]

gurt

[merry bolt]

this is great, thank you

[night saffron]

What would you do if you only have one internship experience

Would it be a good idea to fill the rest with projects

[night saffron]

I noticed you didn't link the github and deployed link for your projects, was that intentional

[torpid arrow]

Meaningful projects yes

Also pretty sure OP left the server so

[torpid arrow]

@tacit crag

[primal pebble]

this is the main part that got me the interviews lol

name company is the #1 most important thing on any resume. you can only get away with not having name companies if ur have a t20 university on ur resume

[primal pebble]

yes definitely no one wants to read a wall of text

oh and i guess one thing is, if you arent applying starting june and mass applying, youre shooting yourself in the foot. i started applying in june, and applied to like 300 bigtech+ jobs between june-sep

[primal pebble]

to address this

that might be what held you back

most recruitment processes are completely done by december, and a lot of companies stop taking interviews after like october

[primal pebble]

they are linked its in the pdf i just didnt make the thing blue or underlined or whatever cuz its ugly asf. but also no one opens ur projects github they dont give a shit lmao

[primal pebble]

best advice is to make up an experience. essentially, turn a project into an experience. ie, during internship season (last year and not on my resume anymore), one of my "experiences" was a project that was just a full stack web app i made with 2 friends, and i put myself as a "Founding Software Engineer" 🤣 as the position on it, and left it off my background check. i talked in interviews ab it and made it clear it was a startup esque thing that wasnt like official or legit, so i didnt run into any problems.

i think a bs experience is much more valuable than a project bc you elevate it by straight up larping but its fine thats just the game

also join some research lab

free exp

[tawdry vault]

I’m currently at a startup I have a “meet and greet” I guess with a recruiter at capital one this week

Most people in here don’t seem to regard the company too high but I’d be thrill to work there

[primal pebble]

wym

i mean in the senes of passing big tech screens

[tawdry vault]

I heard they were easy, I haven’t done data structures yet but I can pass most leetcode easy problem

[primal pebble]

the actual companies u work at matters a lot, like startup is fine if its like idfk ive been out of this game for too long, perplexitiy ai i guess

like if u put perplexitiy on resume ur gonna get past big tech screens

but if ur startup isnt rlly known then its not as valuable

thats what i mean by the fortune 50 finance company is mainly what got me past big tech screens

[tawdry vault]

It’s on MVP stages so it’s not known

[primal pebble]

bc its kind of a stamp of compentency if you get what i mean, like a fortune 50 finance company hiring someone means that theyre at least 10% competent and worth even interviewing

yeah then even if ur resume and projects are good itll be hard on an objective sense to get big tech interviews

thats mostly what recruiters r looking for

[tawdry vault]

Yeah if I could get c1 I think I’ve got a good chance at landing an offer post grad

[primal pebble]

oh bruh easily lol

[tawdry vault]

I’m not looking for faang I’m just looking for a chance

[primal pebble]

c1 easily opens faang door

[tawdry vault]

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping for

I have a few Google connects that could refer me

But I don’t want to waste it

[boreal rapids]

The apply timeline? Is now a good time to hop jobs then

[primal pebble]

good luck, the interview is piss easy lol. but at least i would compare that to big tech interviews

[primal pebble]

i dont rlly know tbh, idk much ab job hop and etc, just intern and newgrad recruiting

[tawdry vault]

Google would be best case scenario, I just don’t want to be stuck local, would like to move to big tech areas

[primal pebble]

but if i was graduting this dec or next may i would be applying rn for sure

[boreal rapids]

Ahh I'm cooked

[night saffron]

Did making the project a experience work in getting more interviews?

[boreal rapids]

I definitely applied late cuz I was fucking stupid

[primal pebble]

ion know but probably lmao

[tawdry vault]

@primal pebble do you have any ideas on what I could do to make this better?

[primal pebble]

intern sesaon i had like 30 interviews but they were all mid

[tawdry vault]

Are my projects lacking?

[primal pebble]

my best company interview was the fortune 50 finance

[primal pebble]

this is really bad

💀

[night saffron]

Wouldn't the recruiter sense you are trying to BS a project into an experience

[primal pebble]

no theyre idiots

[primal pebble]

its not descriptive at all, the skills section is too small so ur not hitting keywords, bullets are very weak and not impactful, having 1 bullet for an exp makes it look like u did nothing, u use words like "my" and "our"

this is like a really bad resume

oh u didnt say ur resume is like mine just that u have similar proj and exp

uh even that i disagree

[tawdry vault]

I just don’t know how to describe it well

[primal pebble]

work on it lol

i put like 50 hours into mine and took like 1-2 hours + multiple revisions per single bullet point

[tawdry vault]

I have experience really deep experience with my projects just don’t know how to describe, I’m on nda for some of my exp

I also have some quant based projects, however I’m not targeting quant so I don’t know if I should involve them

[primal pebble]

i mean on an objective sense just compare ur resume with this

ignoring companies and projects just the bullets only

[tawdry vault]

So more quantified values and key words in bullets, and it should help correct

[primal pebble]

and better storytelling

in a way my bullets tell a story

of what ive done

[night saffron]

Im using this as inspiration, how does my first experience look?

[primal pebble]

looks awesome

good work copying the concepts too

i think a lot of ppl miss that

bc job descriptions have a lot of those words in it

but theres no way to put it on a resume normally

lmao

all part of the game its sad asf

if u tell me what ur projects r ab i can help spin it into an exp @night saffron

linux and asm game r off the table tho

yea

yo is mmy alt

good luck bro

recruiting szn will start p soon

of course man i hope people benefit from it

[night saffron]

These are my other projects I removed the last 2 and replaced them with linux and assembly since they seemed redundant. I also have a JavaFX paint application. The assembly linux and javafx are course projects from uni

[primal pebble]

i agree, and smart. yeah 4 full stack apps is kind of brainrot

we can very easily spin #1 into an exp

[night saffron]

It was for project based course through my uni, where a prof supervised us

Presented it at Shopify

[primal pebble]

deadass could just larp that u had clients for this. if u had people using it then it auto becomes a "job"/exp instead of a project lmao

no one will check or anything

but its ur choice, it ofc comes w a risk and also need high tier bs skills

just be like students in ur school used it or sum 💀 💀

[night saffron]

Could ask some of my friends to use it, which would make that true then

[primal pebble]

for reference the proj i turned into an exp for intern resume was a web app that helped students at our college find campus organizations they would be interested in

this never actually deployed or anything or etc and in interviews i was like its a wip and will deploy at <interview date + 3months> 💀 and no one gave a fuck

LOl

[night saffron]

Hmm I see, do you think I should do A/B testing to see putting it as an experience will work or not

So like apply to some positions with it as experience and other as not

[primal pebble]

idk

i think hoenstly over that join some research lab if u can

i only did it for intern cuz i was desperate w 0 exp at all lol

wym

[night saffron]

Yea i tried, didn't get into any since upper years got them this summer, gonna try again

[primal pebble]

intern season i applied to ~700 internships lol

i feel like at least f50 finance was hopefully bound to happen

nah

the only referral ive ever got that worked was doordash this year

and im not even 100% sure if it was bc of referral or not

but ive never had any other referral work ever

but i also havent had tht many referrals, maybe like 20-30 over both years

and big tech referrals only ever was 2 places including doordash

maybe, never got one for finance

[slender saddle]

do u think this is too much text/too wordy?

[primal pebble]

whats up

im not too much on discord in general these days tbh

hence the replies to stuff 20days later lol

and i usually like to stay off this server, mostly came back here to grab the thread link to send to a friend, lowk gonna leave again

gl to everyone and i hope this helps anyone struggling

[night saffron]

Does the title of the project look good? I feel like its basic but gets the point across

I was also thinking of AI video generator

or LLM video processor

what you guys think?

[lunar haven]

goated project but title is lame ngl

[night saffron]

yea thats what i trying to figure out, i dont want it to be too long but at the same time catch attention

[lunar haven]

2/3 sounds better

[eager crystal]

i see this resume font everywhere what is it called

[vocal current]

does anyone have experience with preferred name/legal names and how to format those, I'm worried putting "Preferred (Legal) Last" is gonna screw up ATS somehow

[night saffron]

from what ive heard just put your preferred name, for any legal documents use your full name

[vocal current]

so also just put your preferred name on the job application?

[night saffron]

yes

[vocal current]

what about cases where the app specifically says legal name, do you switch your resume up as well

[night saffron]

no just give your legal name where it says

[glass chasm]

👍

[glass chasm]

How did you make the name the original font? I’m having difficulty doing that

I put it to computer modern Roman

But it always looks different from the default overleaf font

[fallow quest]

I don't remember exactly, but look up how to change the font style to serif in latex

It was like one style tag that I applied to just the full name in the header

[glass chasm]

Did it look like the original for you?

[glass chasm]

Probably /fontfamily right

Or /usefont

[fallow quest]

I think it was something that started with an r

Something different

[glass chasm]

Oh interesting

[fallow quest]

I remember it wasn't like choosing a specific font, just choosing the serif style. I can check it out later and tell you the exact thing to do

[glass chasm]

Ah ok I see. Yeah that would be much appreciated, thanks

[fallow quest]

You know what, I think it was \textrm{First Last}

Did you try that?

[glass chasm]

Let me try that

[fallow quest]

Other than my name in the header, I just copy and pasted the font packages that were in the original post at the top of this thread.

And all the fonts look the same.

[glass chasm]

That worked perfectly! Thanks, spent a while trying to figure this out.

[glass chasm]

Looks the same now, I appreciate it man saved me a lot of trouble

[fallow quest]

Glad I could help :)

[glass chasm]

What did he put for <project>? The name of the project he worked on at the internship?

@rustic obsidian 😭🙏

Bro I just checked your resume it’s goated

The one with NVIDIA intern on the top

I see how this yo guy based it off of that it’s impressive af

[rustic obsidian]

prolly a metaphor for what it does

like yk how people say “i built Uber for <insert what it actually does>”

idk though

[glass chasm]

Ok thanks that makes sense

[glass chasm]

Yeah I’m going to do that way

probably only good for explaining to recruiters

if the thing you’re comparing it to is well known

any comments on my resume?

[amber blaze]

best resume example ever ngl ty goat

https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1396267395491827783 copied the style heavily

[glass chasm]

Follow up question, is it recommended to name the projects stuff like “Embedded Systems Project” or “Computer Vision Project”?

Like general names

Do we need to mention “Project”?

When it’s already under Projects section

[boreal rapids]

I typically don't name mine generic names

[timid lily]

ty so much

[primal pebble]

No this is just to anonymize myself

[primal pebble]

no, you are 100% correct in changing the font size. too small -> not readable. too big -> not enough can be shown. yes i used font size 12

its 1pt but it 100% matters imo. but could also be placebo, but ive looked at my fucking resume for so many hrs atp i trust myself on font12 for this font being the most optimal possible

[glass chasm]

So you named it what the project was named or?

Like eg if you built a 6axis robotic arm that used ML to fold any tshirt would it be “Automated T-Shirt Folder Robot” or something else

[primal pebble]

sure that sounds fine

project name is 100% the least important part lol

theyr elooking at the tech stack in italics and then the bullets

[hot panther]

@primal pebble think you could give me some advice: https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1400863884969115669

2030???

The hell

[stable fable]

its so cooked what is this resume

and how many people have this NBA project bro 😭

[atomic hedge]

I don’t even get this shit

Shouldn’t he start in 2026 if he’s graduating 2030

[stable fable]

yeah incoming freshman would be 2029 rn

maybe hes planning around 5 years? more intern/co-op cycles?

also gpa 4.0/4.0 before taking a class (which he also listed a few of)

is hilarious

[hot panther]

oh shoot i explained in my thing but i just put alot of stuff for filler

also my school is 5 years, please don't flame me 😭

[lunar haven]

AGI gonna take over by the time you grad

[stable fable]

Fr, there won’t be any junior positions to worry about lol

[meager cargo]

[tacit crag]

[primal pebble]

like jesus christ

but if youre trying to make quant or something you ig you have to start now

it looks fine but everyone will filter u out once they see may 2030

just lie and say may 2027

thats the only real advice i have, ur resume is fine, obviously i have no other advice you essentially copied exactly how i told you to so i think its pretty great LOL

[hot panther]

im literally required by my degree to get a coop this upcoming summer 😭

[hot panther]

for some reason i just feel like mine is less readable then yours, idk what it is. But, other then format you think bullets are good?

[hot panther]

isnt 3 years a little brazy

[hot panther]

hoping for shopify, they take alot of first yearsa from my school

[primal island]

avg waterloo student

shopify pipeline

[hot panther]

lmao worse case i can go back to my current company

[primal island]

Do u have access to waterlooworks as a freshman?

[hot panther]

I think so, because you pay for co-op first year

[vocal current]

how important are soft skills on resumes? looks like OP didn't include any but is it worth putting leadership positions under coursework

[shy grove]

Worth it likely but has to be high tier leadership

[primal pebble]

it dont matter the interview is made to test your soft skills lol

[shy grove]

Some school clubs are well known

So

They can help screen

[celest skiff]

do people do dark mode?

as in digital resume

[shy grove]

Same

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-christian-bale-business-gif-13484994

[rustic obsidian]

the only version of your resume that is useful for anything is the pdf one

nobody wants to look at a dark mode pdf lol

[celest skiff]

maning by default the pdf is dark mode

black background, white font

[celest skiff]

ok, I think the reason we do normal, because the person who will look at these sheets of resume are not tech salvy people, they just hiring officer

because if you pass the resume to the tech lead, who is working on tech stuff all the time, they would prefer in dark mode

for example, you dont see microsoft word offer dark mode do you?

but IDE often able to run in dark mode

[primal island]

dark mode is crazy

[barren stone]

Which ATS score checker do you guys generally use?

[lyric karma]

traders @ berkeley 🗣️

[jagged vigil]

k

[ancient shore]

Resumeworded?

[stable fable]

No ATS tool online is realistic

[torpid arrow]

its good to see if they can read your resume imo

but thats about it

[stable fable]

just upload your resume to a job application and gauge off that

ATS tools w/ "premium features" are bs

[torpid arrow]

guess thats true
