I also got a reach out from a recruiter in Apple IS&T, but I was also rejected after sending my resume.

#

Wtf is going on

rotund grove
#

good resume imo

#

maybe add some metrics

fluid zenith
#

So nothing for me to do beyond that?

#

Anything else I can do outside of resume polishing to up my chances?

fluid zenith
#

Not even getting OAs

#

I feel like im being filtered out cuz of my resume

#

If I cold email recruiters, do I have much better chances?

#

Am I just getting filtered for some reason, but getting a recruiter’s eyes on my resume will get me an interview?

leave tech stack next to ur experience or something

#

but 6 bullet points for aws with no quantifiable impact isn't i guess so much of a good sign

#

def try to see if theres any way you can implement some sort of metric without it sounding like bluff - think back to what exactly you worked on

#
  • nitpicky but apparently having a dot next to your month auto rej's sometimes, not ats friendly. Personally chopped my year ('24-'25) and left the full month
  • Hyperlink your work or github repo
  • LTM benchmarking 2nd bullet point and 3rd can be combined, say that you trained them resulting in y metric
#

Good resume just needs a few bulletpoint edits since a lot of your work isn't really larped out ig

hi, just wanted to bump this to ask about space management

#

gimme a moment, i'll upload my questions

fluid zenith
#

Have a few questions

#
  1. Went to the CodePath career fair and was told by recruiters that it's a good idea to have both a coursework section and a concepts section, but I'm not sure how I can fit that here.
  • Some of my options seem to be adding the hackathon project to the Activities section to cut down on a project and add the coursework
  • Another option might just be to do smthn else like getting rid of projects entirely and adding a portfolio website link, but I've heard recruiters don't even check it out. I think this might be okay because they might not look at the project section anyway and the hiring manager could just click on my portfolio, but I'm not sure how good of an idea this is.
  • I'm also open to other ideas in terms of how to manage the space here.
  1. I've heard from CodePath recruiters that they search up CodePath on the resume, so I'm wondering if it's a good idea to add an activities section for that.

  2. I'm not sure if I should add U.S. Citizen and Github link on the resume. Is this actually useful?

  3. Is my skills section actually an improvement here? Should I get rid of some stuff from technical skills section like the Tools line and add in the REST API, gRPC, and GraphQL to concepts instead?

#

Would yg say that having extracurriculars that end after intern dates might be a problem on applications

#

I see in some of mine even though I put my work experience which ended first later on when I login the job thing reformats it so that the latest ending extracurricular is on top

not sure
