This is all my humble opinion so take it with a grain of salt and probably cross reference it against other people

#

Do you have more coursework than what you have right now?

#

you only show three classes

#

~

#

For your current internship, you don't mention what technology you used to automate test script automation

#

did you use python, java

#

i would also use the phrase "test code" instead of "test script" (i think it's more accurate and easier for non technical people to understand imo)

#

I also think you can take the two points you wrote and combine them (therefore you have space for more things you did during your internship).

#

~

#

you mention reducing delivery time by 75%. through agile and scrum, but it doesn't exactly make a lot of sense imo

#

perhaps it's written oddly

#

speaking from 2x FAANG not sure if you need more than DSA and some AI/ML class and

glass pewter
#

definitely has taken good classes

#

but idk for faang recruiting if it matters

ivory brook
#

Should I even keep the courses or remove them overall?

glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

because i feel some recruiters do look to make sure you have DSA and some major classes

glass pewter
#

so what are those major classes that recruiters look for

acoustic maple
#

DSA

glass pewter
#

like is it better to have like 2 lines of classes for your resume

acoustic maple
#

maybe some electives

glass pewter
#

like other courses like ML, Databases, Systems and Networks?

acoustic maple
#

probably if you're specialized you might need to show that

#

i don't go to an amazing school and just mention my nromal course work

#

OS, DSA, Computer Theory

#

Databases

#

Web dev

#

and that works fo rme

glass pewter
#

do you not mention like any AI or ML related coursework?

acoustic maple
#

i dont have any

#

lol

glass pewter
#

and what if you've taken a coursera course like the ML specialization class is that important?

acoustic maple
#

i dont have any exp in AI

#

im not AI

#

im just a normal SWE kind of guy

glass pewter
#

ah are you all embedded software and full stack?

acoustic maple
#

so i can't comment on that

#

not embedded

glass pewter
#

ok normal full stack

#

i see

acoustic maple
#

yeah

#

😅

glass pewter
#

ok im sorta like that too

#

but at least at internships now even if u were recruited as normal full stack

#

they make you work on doing RAG or AI agent projects

#

like a lot of people at say amazon do that right now

#

some project involving AI agents

#

and i feel taking a class on Ai agents would be perfect

acoustic maple
#

i heard that

glass pewter
#

its still normal SWE technically

#

but the new SWE now

acoustic maple
#

i dont go to a school that has one 😅

glass pewter
#

me neithrer

#

im just saying like

#

if ive taken a coursera course on it

acoustic maple
#

if he does has one by all means

glass pewter
#

yeah UIUc is cracked they have new so many Gen AI classes now

acoustic maple
#

he seems like an AI guy

#

so he prob should have some

#

i wonder if his resume is a bit hard to understand for lay people

#

like recruiters that may not be as versed in technology

#

he has some rlly good stuff going on

glass pewter
#

like his recent internshp seems to be a LLM wrapper

#

so thats why I was saying

ivory brook
acoustic maple
glass pewter
#

so yeah i think like coursework in ML would definitely be helpful

#

but not sure

acoustic maple
#

he may have some no?

#

linguistics and CS is a pretty elite combo isnt it

glass pewter
#

uiuc has a lot yeah

acoustic maple
#

the dude i met at my internship who had that combo was rlly smart

glass pewter
#

and anyways uiuc will process u

#

u can remove coursework doesn't matter

#

lmao

acoustic maple
#

yeah 😅

glass pewter
#

better

#

lmao

acoustic maple
#

still super smart school

ivory brook
#

I thoguht the major would have good AI/ML stuff

#

but nope

#

not much CS

glass pewter
#

doesn't matter

ivory brook
#

been taking more CS tho

glass pewter
#

ucla #1 public

ivory brook
#

and ML

glass pewter
#

recruiters will glaze

acoustic maple
#

at least you can speak French now /s

glass pewter
#

lol

ivory brook
#

LMAO

acoustic maple
#

but yeah i wonder if this resume is hard to digest for lay recruiters @ivory brook

#

have you had any recruiters read this?

ivory brook
#

How about the descirptions of the experiences and etc? SHould i be more detailed or simpler to understand

acoustic maple
#

have the recruiter at your company read this do a 1 on 1 @ivory brook

ivory brook
glass pewter
#

also @ivory brook have you considered a leadership section is that even worth including on your resume?

ivory brook
#

NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT

#

Thank you

acoustic maple
#

yeah i do it

#

ofc

#

i try to make my resume very

#

digestable for a lay person

#

but that's my take

ivory brook
glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

i'd be like hi i was wondering if i could do a 1 on 1 for a resume review

#

they'll say yes

glass pewter
#

do they actually have the time to meet though for that?

acoustic maple
#

yep

glass pewter
#

at like FAANG?

acoustic maple
#

you end your internship in august right

glass pewter
glass pewter
acoustic maple
ivory brook
acoustic maple
#

they wont have time for 6 weeks?

#

i doubt it

ivory brook
acoustic maple
#

im not in FAANG but i imagine they will

glass pewter
#

no it just seems really weird asking that

acoustic maple
ivory brook
#

but in our case, since we have experience and project. I think we dont have to?

ivory brook
glass pewter
#

and all the recruiters are remote or in other locations

#

do i do this virtually

#

at least at apple idk about other places

acoustic maple
#

email your recruiter imo

#

that's what i did before and they were down to meet me

#

virtually

glass pewter
#

not sure tho

acoustic maple
#

mine was on the other side of the country

ivory brook
#

Prob set up teams meeting and etc

ivory brook
acoustic maple
#

im telling you

glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

the recruiter will tell you

glass pewter
#

thats weird tho they see that

ivory brook
#

ye thats what i heard too, like some freshman got into Google STEP program cause of leadership

#

and Microsoft explore program

acoustic maple
#

i should've probably

#

so she could critique my resume for the company i was interning @ at the time

#

but the recruiter will tell you what's wrong or what they don't understand

glass pewter
#

yeah but he/she also works there so like they see it early then?

#

and they may think you are switching companies

acoustic maple
#

nope

#

they won't think so

#

they don't care

#

in my experience

glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

but that's MY experience

glass pewter
#

not sure though

acoustic maple
#

i worked at a very good culture company

glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

so

glass pewter
#

i mean i feel like i dont need a resume reviewer to review my resume anymore

#

ive gone through that multiple times thats how I landed 2x faang

acoustic maple
#

you have cscd 😅

glass pewter
#

i just have minor details like about coursework leadership / awards sections

acoustic maple
#

@ivory brook if you work at a bad company maybe don't do it

glass pewter
#

and specific projects i should try to do

acoustic maple
#

many i just worked at nice companies yk

glass pewter
#

doesn't the brand name of your company anyways help process you?

acoustic maple
#

yes

#

i went to a no name school

glass pewter
#

ok yeah

acoustic maple
#

and i think having a F500 helped me get into a better program

ivory brook
#

like the culture

#

the recruiter was really nice too

acoustic maple
#

then why not

#

knock on wood you'll be fine

ivory brook
#

ye i prob will schedule a 1 on 1

acoustic maple
#

(do at your own discretion the quantumfrogg guy has be sweating rn)

#

(but i also am anxious in general when giving advice

#

so

#

maybe it's just my anxiety

ivory brook
#

lmao yea dont worry

acoustic maple
#

do at your own discretion)

ivory brook
#

i do think its a good idea

acoustic maple
#

i sweat hard when i do resume reviews here

ivory brook
#

LMAOOO

acoustic maple
#

because im always scared i give bad advice

glass pewter
#

like u should do it

#

ive done multiple resume reviews that the thing

ivory brook
#

Any other advice for my resume tho? or overall is it good?

glass pewter
#

i dont think i needa review my resume anymore with brand name

#

like they dont gaf once you have experience

#

recruiters are lazy tahts why

acoustic maple
glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

and what their advice is

#

because

#

really

ivory brook
#

Thx alot guys

acoustic maple
#

recruiters only look for

#

3-4 things they say

ivory brook
#

you guys applying fall internship or nah?

glass pewter
#

on the topic on coursework btw

acoustic maple
#

nah im trying to get an RO

#

and then graduate

glass pewter
#

like is it good to have 2 line?

acoustic maple
#

i did it for a while

glass pewter
acoustic maple
#

if you can get three it's better

glass pewter
#

lets say like this

acoustic maple
#

esp if you want to show the company you have exp in something special they're recruiting for

#

but that's also my tinfoil hat take

#

esp

#

since you're going to big tech which has a lot of diff teams

#

looking for different things

acoustic maple
#

i get it

#

i finally made it so

ivory brook
#

u got this!

acoustic maple
#

can't fumble now

ivory brook
#

LMAO

#

frfr

acoustic maple
#

ivory brook
#

#

#

ivory brook
#

#

Ooooof

#

acoustic maple
#

acoustic maple
ivory brook
#

acoustic maple
#

ivory brook
#

lmao

acoustic maple
#

you want to go to one of their events

#

or

#

one of their interview prep series

#

so i went to one

#

and i knew a recruiter from last yr when i got rejected

#

so i emailed him and he got me my first round

#

and then i did the whole series

ivory brook
#

How were the technicals

acoustic maple
#

like

#

each round

#

1 OOP design and 1 easy/medium

#

depends on the person

ivory brook
#

Oooof

acoustic maple
#

it's rlly a time thing

#

because you have to articulate yourself

ivory brook
#
