Yeah ngmi

#

lowk feel like i spammed too much shit at the bottom

spare willow
tacit chasm
#

Yeah tbh I would only put stuff ur good at

#

Because it’s fair game

#

Also I’m not entirely sure if this is true but it might look unrealistic to recruiters to spam that many technologies?

#

Wait it’s actually not that bad

spare willow
#

the thing is they all work together esp for web dev but ya

tacit chasm
#

I would say that’s a good number of languages tbh on second thought

#

Are you actually having trouble finding a role rn?

spare willow
#

i havent tried applying for this summer but next year roles are coming up
i just want to make sure my resume is solid

#

also want to figure out what is missing so that i can work on it throughout the year

tacit chasm
#

Yeah that’s valid

#

Is this resume adjusted for AI related roles I presume?

spare willow
#

ai+general swe

tacit chasm
#

Just a nit-pick but find a way to not have any lines just be a couple words

#

Just remove some white space

#

I like the content

spare willow
#

oh liek the words spilling into the next line

tacit chasm
#

Maybe expand some short lines to add more detail/context

#

Yeah

spare willow
#

in terms of content is it sweaty enough for FAANG internships, if not what experience would ideally be on there

#

trying to figure out what to add since i have other experience i just dont know which ones are optimal to put

tacit chasm
#

Yes it is

spare willow
#

is like usaco or usamo stuff or SAT maybe stuff poeple put

tacit chasm
#

I mean like what it actually is but

#

U want to market it to match how impressive it actually is ig?

spare willow
tacit chasm
#

Does ur first experience have metrics

tacit chasm
spare willow
#

i could calculate metrics like user metrics

tacit chasm
#

U should prob have a few metrics for every experience

#

Imo

spare willow
#

kk

spare willow
tacit chasm
#

I meant like some of the stuff u don’t fully explain

spare willow
#

ah

tacit chasm
#

But also keep out irrelevant info

#

If that makes sense

spare willow
#

yeah can you give me 1 example for stuff i dont fully explain and also for irrelevant info

#

just to help me gauge

tacit chasm
#

What technologies and what impact did u have

#

Use Google format

#

Which I forget….

spare willow
#

is google format a specific way to organize your sentences or smth

tacit chasm
#

Something like

#

Achieved X using Y doing Z

#

I think?

#

Can’t remember

spare willow
#

ok ill look for it

#

one more question
if i have something like unreal engine which i did multiple projects for but it was a while ago so i dont remember shit
is it worth putting on the skill list

tacit chasm
spare willow
#

i guess unreal engine in this case is irrelevant anyway but lets say it was something important

tacit chasm
#

For some other type of Cs role

#

U should have multiple resumes

spare willow
#

dw im a super freshman now
incoming soph technically

spare willow
tacit chasm
#

Hmm

#

Only if space allows

#

Unless it aligns with the role

#

Also u said it was important?

tacit chasm
#

Or AI

spare willow
#

ah

tacit chasm
#

Ok that’s a bit extensive tbh

#

Prob just 2

spare willow
#

see i lowkey only have experience in swe and ai

tacit chasm
#

That’s okay

#

Do what ur interested in

spare willow
#

but i sh0ould still try to separate swe and ai resume if i have too much experience to fit all into 1

tacit chasm
#

U could get really good at AI maybe if u focus on it a lot

tacit chasm
spare willow
#

okay

#

is it meta to focus on skill specialization like research or building stuff like startups

tacit chasm
#

Research for AI (also in industry) and academia makes sense

#

Uhh regarding startups well

#

Personally I would rather work at a big company first idk about you

#

Unless you want to build

spare willow
#

i guess im asking value-wise
if i could have a published paper at a top 5 conf or a small-mid scale startup with users and funding, which would be more valuable

tacit chasm
spare willow
#

i see

tacit chasm
#

NeurIPS looks good tho

#

But someone who is not in AI might not know much about it

spare willow
#

i see

#

man

#

ts pmo

tacit chasm
#

Nah dw

#

Still an amazing accomplishment and worth keeping

spare willow
#

ofc but if only there was 1 thing that was optimal

#

instead there are like 50 paths and idk which ones dont end up homeless

tacit chasm
#

Just how it is lol

spare willow
#

anyway thanks for the help

tacit chasm
#

Np
