Some projects were changed the way I worded them here btw to remove specifics (like one was not fully open source) while maintaining readability, experiences are exactly the same as they appear here

@magic sapphire I would say that your experience is a bit too wordy, try to keep it to a sentence or a sentence and a half, all of our bullet points feel more like responsibilities rather than achievements

magic sapphire

I can def try to shorten, just worried abt losing details on what I did lol

Gotcha, I tried to follow the
What you did -> how you did -> what was the result format I heard
So would moving around impact to be closer to the front be what you mean?

#

Because in my experience, non technical people are the ones that normally see your CV not all the time though

#

So if they see a lot of tech jargon, they won't know what it means

magic sapphire
#

gotcha, will try to do that

#

do you think the bolding is bad? I havent applied to stuff w it but i added it to try to make details pop out more when eye-scanning

#

what year are you ?

#

Also ive looked at llike 20 resumes by now and yours is the best ive seen ....

#

i really dont have much to say yours is quite good

#

how many apps have you done ?

magic sapphire
#

150+

#

im a junior

#

so this was gonna be my final internship but ig my career is dead cuz i got nothing lmao

lone zenith
#

150 is too little i think

#

what was your previous internship?

magic sapphire
#

c1 lol

lone zenith
#

you didnt get any interviews with c1 on your resume ?? 😭

#

???

#

ok i think you just have to apply more

#

but for faang its just flip i think

magic sapphire
#

maybe, but i guess im just looking for why this happened cuz i find it hard to believe my resume wasnt looked at by every company i applied to

#

although honestly its possible though, i saw a coinbase role open yesterday and get 7k applications within an hour

#

but yeah no idea what i did "wrong"

#

it just sucks cuz this past year was the first year c1 stopped giving return internships, which is what i asked for from them lol

#

they now only give FT return offers

lone zenith
#

I am surprised though

#

But who knows how they select from screen

#

U just gotta send out a couple hundred and wait for the mail

magic sapphire
#

true yeah

#

past cycle hit me hard mentally lol

lusty narwhal
#

youre like acc cracked j keep applying

#

youll land something eventually

#

i think u still have a good chance for new grad too esp w c1 on ur resume

lone zenith

agree !!
