you have good exp for embedded, just not sure how good cause its not my wheelhouse lol
id consider removing the NBA project and expanding on your other ones or one of your experiences, its a poor fit for the roles you should be targeting

elder sierra
#

Understandable im just hella proud of it lol

little moss
#

also try to split up your bullets for the last two projects and make them more readable

elder sierra
#

Cool ass project i love the NBA but ur def right

little moss
#

first bit of the last project had me befuddled

#

also involvement and stuff is good on a resume, but when youre applying for ng they only care if its relevant

#

food club and housing committe and stuff

#

can prob get dropped

#

its fluff

#

also course codes you tutored for dont really add anything cause no one else can recognize the course

elder sierra
#

Should i put like shortened class names? Its like math for EE, signal processing, robotics, nanofab

little moss
#

use the space to expand on motorola as you continue to work, buff out your more relevant projects

little moss
#

and cover the super relevant names there

elder sierra
#

I had a pretty long coursework list but took it off and replaced it w the activities

#

Should i undo that and shorten it?

little moss
#

so like

Coursework: math for EE, signal processing, etc. etc.
Organizations: Caltech Air and Outer Space Club, RISE tutor, Peer academic coach ,etc.

#

keep it minimal

#

fit it to the role you apply to

#

ultimately a lot of the courses/fundamentals are the same everywhere if you have like a super specific course that might be a good match or unique knowledge for a ng for the role youre looking at

#

idk like a good example, im like cs ai/ml, but you get the idea

#

id list that and then the most relevant courses you took

elder sierra
#

Ahhh icic

little moss
#

its a good way to add like relevant topics/buzzwords while rationalizing it as coursework

elder sierra
#

Maybe ill do like circuits & systems, some math courses, circuit design, electronics lab, software design, dsa, robotics, advanced path planning, mobile robots, signal processing

#

I didnt realize how heavily towards robotics my resume skews lmfao

little moss
#

prob lean away from dsa and software design unless you think itd be unique for you as an applicant

#

the course name alone wont make you very strong at those things since the rest of your resume kind of lacks them

elder sierra
#

Gotta edit further later am on my phone

normal sleet
#

lil bit of a nitpick but i'd find a way to fit ur coursework into at most 2 lines

#

having a whole third line just for one word to me just kinda looks weird

little moss
#

two lines should be the upper limit for those things yeah

elder sierra
#

Ight will trim

#

Am i experience cooked

elder sierra
#

Fixed the courses

normal sleet
#

no lol

#

youre targeting embedded right

elder sierra
#

#
