Considering during a internship spring given market conditions. Please roast resume.

nvidia is incoming btw

should clarify

[tender mural]

You have a cool future ahead

Enjoy nvidia!

But for your last internship, I noticed you didn’t have too many metrics. Did the refactored code save time? Make it more scalable and maintainable?

How many less fraudulent reviews were there with your new system?

[hollow garnet]

I’m at LinkedIn currently

[hollow garnet]

With state of economy not too sure lmao

[hollow garnet]

Yeah, but not sure how to quantify it since I didn’t measure. 😟

[tender mural]

Got it. But having nvidia on your resume will help quite a bit with full time jobs.

And you could have a return offer

I heard the return rate is pretty high

[open sorrel]

rewrite the top: BA mathematics, BS computer science. it reads better

coursework should be one line, not two. just pick the most relevant.

you can't have a bullet point be 3 words

if i see that im rejecting your resume

you need to write out a whole bullet point

[hollow garnet]

I was trying to optimize for space but that experience isn’t a past experience

It’s an incoming experience

I haven’t actually started yet

[open sorrel]

🤦

ok don't put stuff on the resume that hasn't happened yet

if you want to create a draft for the future thats fine

but if im reading a resume and i see dates in the future

because a candidate is telling me "this is what i think im going to be doing 3 months from now"

that resume is going in the trash

the very last date you should see is "Present"

meaning what you are currently doing

[hollow garnet]

This is literally not true. I’ve applied to several internships and my upcoming internship has always been a convo starter.

[hollow garnet]

This makes sense at least

[open sorrel]

so they see a date in the future, they ask you about what you're going to do, and you answer definitively?

because ... you know what you're going to do before you see it?

I guess rules are a bit different for students because you sign internships months in advance

but even then, you don't know how the internship is going to play out

until you're actually doing it

If it's working, by all means doing it

but it sounds very wild to me

but im telling you for industry professionals, once you're out of colleges and putting full time roles

you dont put stuff in the future

[hollow garnet]

More so about the process and what I’ll be doing on the team; it’s a great convo starter esp on behaviorial screening

[open sorrel]

But this raises another question: if you have something for the future from sept 2025 to dec 2025... what exactly are you applying for?

[hollow garnet]

Exactly, and I’m sure recruiters understand this. Never ran into an issue with it before last cycle and I had tons of processes then.

[open sorrel]

guess rules have changed then

[hollow garnet]

Spring currently.

[open sorrel]

back in my day you don't put stuff that's happening in the future

[hollow garnet]

Or at least this specific resume iteration is for spring

[hollow garnet]

When was your day if I may ask

Genuinely curious

[open sorrel]

i dont want to give out my specific age. let's just say more than 5 years ago

[hollow garnet]

Yeah 5 years in cs industry is basically a thousand years on a conversion scale tbh

Or at least recently it’s been

Looking back at old resumes a bunch of stuff was done differently

Wish I was in that era

[tender mural]

If you’re doing internships all year, how are you completing your double major coursework?
