#0/550 on applications

its a good resume, for ur experience i think it would be better if ur first lines would be swapped with second bullet point
for both
think they describe what u did better especially the tutoring one
knotty pilot
that’s insane, i would expect this to get interviews at least
glass charm
sorry to say this but you might need better projects. ones that solve real world problems.
glass charm
It’s time to get referrals
yeah but the value of getting one is having a strong relationship with that employee first
sand vault
@dawn nimbus for your nba clip finder, is that like a search engine for NBA clips or what

Yea true bc they can dm the recruiter for you

i’m kinda confused by your major/degree wording, do you have a double major in econ and cs? just by looking at major in economics maybe recruiters are thinking you have only have an econ major as a BS? maybe reword that so it’s clearer
sacred ether
Migjt be the resume itself
Make sure you built on on Word or Doxs
Its very likely the ATS parsing machine messes up the way your resume sent
Cause your application is great tbh unless your just applying for faang and quant lol
And fix the Minor in Economics or if its a Major mention your a double major
Cause 0/550 is insane and doesnt happen unless the ATS system is messing up your resume
glass charm
yea use jake’s resumé template

projs dont matter its probably smth wrong w/ template or the applications themselves
glass charm
projs dont matter its probably smth wrong w/ template or the applications themse...
yeah i think so too. i was thinking the recruiter or hiring manager might look at it
tawny marten
yeah projs would be the issue if it was getting rejected by a person, but if the ATS itself is saying no theres prob something fundamentally wrong (especially after 550 apps)
main ruin
yeah esp from northwestern w/ a high gpa

they’re not trash, they think they won’t be relevant for their company…
tawny marten
not trash, but the first is kind of weak/has no user metrics, the second is also simplistic but having users makes it slightly better. the compiler reads like a class project imo, i have no real read on how that one stacks up
main ruin
hard to say
refs dont hold that much weight at most big tech
but with some polish it's def a solid res
tawny marten
faang+ it wont make a difference, but its not like it hurts
any proc you could potentially start is a huge step if youre 0/550
sacred ether
Thats the problem
Dude this entire time
Your shit is sending incorrectly
Use Word
LOL
The latex to pdf conversion engine or whatever overleaf does it shit
chilly sequoia
Thats the problem
like 95% of this discord uses jake's on overleaf thats not causing him to go 0/550
could that have caused some rejections sure but not all
main ruin
^^
tawny marten
Thats the problem
almost everyone would have this problem if that were the case
past sluice
wait we should use doc and not pdf?
chilly sequoia
wait we should use doc and not pdf?
no that doesnt matter and some companies prefer pdf over doc
past sluice
oh ok cool
knotty pilot
wait we should use doc and not pdf?
no, use pdf
tawny marten
wait we should use doc and not pdf?
when youre submitting a resume always submit a pdf
the debate is .tex vs .docx, the original format the resume is written in, it should always be a pdf when submitted
west apex
Idk bro 0/550 with this is crazy
I think like anyone even if you suck should be able to get at least 1/550
past sluice

oh got it got it okay thanks for the clarification
main ruin
do u apply quickly within the apps opening?
west apex
Good luck bro
knotty pilot
wtf
main ruin
the only thing i can think is that your res is not being parsed properly for wtv reason
tawny marten
how have you found 150 roles since then
main ruin
ya i mean if it's not the res parse thing, u could be in some kind of weird middle ground where its like ur getting rng'd out of tech, not strong enough for unicorns/quant, and yield-protected from lower-tier companies
but idk even then 0 doesnt add up
nah i think thats common
weary swallow
what does that do
leaden schooner
wait u srs
is this actually a resume parsing issue
that would be insane
apparently if you use the original version of jake's template, it should alrdy be there
main ruin
damn
i rlly dont know
wish i could help but im out of ideas
for reference i was in a similar position as u last cycle and i still had like a 1%ish callback rate
and my school is dog
weary swallow
new idea if you’re applying to different locations add/change the city at the top of ur resume to match the postings location even if it’s technically a lie
i was talking to a recruiter in tiktok comments and she said a lot of companies even if they don’t say it will only pick from candidates local to avoid some hassles and trash a resume if the location isn’t the same as the position. she said to edit the location on ur resume for each position to the metro then if it gets found out later say that you will relocate

yeah i was thinking ab this actually i think it's a good play

Can I dm I’d like to check out your NBA projects? Are they posted live?
Everyone I think is overestimating the market by alot. 0/500 is not as uncommon as you’d think.

but not even like
an interview
getting screened at 500 places and not even passing one
python isnt capitlized in the bottom exp btw but thats a nitpick
i doubt its seriously fucking with ats
fringe ridge
ATS scanner is alot of the time only for targeting schools and employers.
fringe ridge
getting screened at 500 places and not even passing one
500 places that have received 500 applications each. It’s rough out there.
I would suggest continuing to iterate over it. Not just what you did but also why it matters. Especially for work experience.
Prioritize places closer to you. Try cover letters too if you feel it’s worth your time.

maybe for mediocre ppl from non-targets
this is a decent res from a t10 school
unless 2026 cycle is just that cooked idk

i took a quick look, pls control F my recent messages in the resume forum and read. there's a lot of feedback i gave recentlky today that directly applies here (line formatingg, concepts section, etc)
when ur done u can ping me again with then ew version
nws! the reason why im having people ping me in the public channels instead of dm is so that i can point them to the feedback ive already given in teh channel to save everyoen involved time
lmk when ur done
real knoll
sorry to say this but you might need better projects. ones that solve real world...
last project is pretty goated imo
creating a python compiler(!) from scratch is p cool
glass charm
it’s low level stuff
